The AIMSS Project III: The Stellar Populations of Compact Stellar Systems
Joachim Janz, Mark A. Norris, Duncan A. Forbes +11
In recent years, a growing zoo of compact stellar systems (CSSs) have been found whose physical properties (mass, size, velocity dispersion) place them between classical globular c…
An Extended Star Formation History in an Ultra Compact Dwarf
Mark A. Norris, Carlos G. Escudero, Favio R. Faifer +3
There has been significant controversy over the mechanisms responsible for forming compact stellar systems like ultra compact dwarfs (UCDs), with suggestions that UCDs are simply t…
A SLUGGS and Gemini/GMOS combined study of the elliptical galaxy M60: wide-field photometry and kinematics of the globular cluster system
Vincenzo Pota, Jean P. Brodie, Terry Bridges +20
We present new wide-field photometry and spectroscopy of the globular clusters (GCs) around NGC 4649 (M60), the third brightest galaxy in the Virgo cluster. Imaging of NGC 4649 was…
