Uniting Old Stellar Systems: From Globular Clusters to Giant Ellipticals
Duncan Forbes, Paul Lasky, Alister Graham +1
Here we examine the relationship between the virial and stellar mass for a range of old stellar systems, from GCs to giant ellipticals, and including such Intermediate Mass Objects…
The anatomy of the NGC 5044 group - I. Group membership and dynamics
J. Trevor Mendel, Robert N. Proctor, Duncan A. Forbes +1
We use a combination of new AAOmega multi-object wide-field spectroscopic observations and literature data to define 111 spectroscopically confirmed members of the massive NGC 5044…
So you want to be a professional astronomer!
Duncan A. Forbes
Exotic workplace locales, amazing discoveries, and fame (but probably not fortune) await those who persevere on the path leading to a career as a professional astronomer. So how do…
Galactic clusters with associated Cepheid variables. VII. Berkeley 58 and CG Cassiopeiae
David G. Turner, D. Forbes, D. English +6
Photoelectric, photographic, and CCD UBV photometry, spectroscopic observations, and star counts are presented for the open cluster Berkeley 58 to examine a possible association wi…
The origin of globular cluster systems from cosmological simulations
K. Bekki, H. Yahagi, M. Nagashima +1
We investigate the structural, kinematical, and chemical properties of globular cluster systems (GCSs) in galaxies of different Hubble types in a self-consistent manner based on hi…
The effects of stellar populations on galaxy scaling relations in the 6dF Galaxy Survey
Robert N. Proctor, Philip Lah, Duncan A. Forbes +2
We present an analysis of the stellar populations in a sample of ~7000 galaxies from the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS). We derive ages and metallicities using stellar population models…
