Keck Spectroscopy and Imaging of Globular Clusters in the Lenticular Galaxy NGC 524
Michael A. Beasley, Duncan A. Forbes, Jean P. Brodie +1
We have obtained Keck LRIS imaging and spectra for 29 globular clusters associated with the lenticular galaxy NGC 524. Using the empirical calibration of Brodie & Huchra we find th…
Formation of star clusters in the LMC and SMC. I. Preliminary results on cluster formation from colliding gas clouds
Kenji Bekki, Michael A. Beasley, Duncan A. Forbes +1
We demonstrate that single and binary star clusters can be formed during cloud-cloud collisions triggered by the tidal interaction between the Large and Small Magellanic clouds. We…
Globular Clusters in Early-Type Galaxies with GMOS
Terry Bridges, Mike Beasley, Favio Faifer +6
We present recent results from our long-term Gemini/GMOS study of globular clusters in early-type galaxies. To date, we have obtained photometry and spectroscopy for clusters in NG…
Galaxy Disruption in a Halo of Dark Matter
Duncan Forbes, Michael Beasley, Kenji Bekki +2
The relics of disrupted satellite galaxies around the Milky Way and Andromeda have been found, but direct evidence of a satellite galaxy in the early stages of being disrupted has…
Formation of globular clusters in galaxy mergers
Kenji Bekki, Warrick J. Couch, Duncan A. Forbes +1
Our numerical simulations first demonstrate that the pressure of ISM in a major merger becomes so high ( K ) that GMCs in the merger can coll…
Dynamical evolution of globular cluster systems in clusters of galaxies I. The case of NGC 1404 in the Fornax cluster
Kenji Bekki, Duncan A. Forbes, Michael A. Beasley +1
We investigate, via numerical simulations, the tidal stripping and accretion of globular clusters (GCs). In particular, we focus on creating models that simulate the situation for…
