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…
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…
Neutral Hydrogen in Galaxy Groups
N. P. F. McKay, C. G. Mundell, S. Brough +2
We present preliminary results from a study of the neutral hydrogen (HI) properties of an X-ray selected sample of nearby loose galaxy groups. This forms part of a multi-wavelength…
Observational Properties of Extragalactic Globular Cluster Systems
Duncan A. Forbes
The superior resolution of HST and the light gathering power of large 8-10m class telescopes are now providing information on distant globular clusters (GCs) that is comparable to…
The Globular Cluster Systems of Ellipticals and Spirals
Duncan A. Forbes
In this overview of the key properties of globular cluster (GC) systems I show that the GCs in elliptical and spiral host galaxies have more in common than previously thought. Afte…
The Elliptical Galaxy formerly known as the Local Group: Merging the Globular Cluster Systems
Duncan A. Forbes, Karen L. Masters, Dante Minniti +1
Prompted by a new catalogue of M31 globular clusters, we have collected together individual metallicity values for globular clusters in the Local Group. Although we briefly describ…
