Tracing the Assembly History of NGC 1395 through its Globular Cluster System
C. G. Escudero, F. R. Faifer, A. V. Smith Castelli +4
We used deep Gemini-South/GMOS g'r'i'z' images to study the globular cluster (GC) system of the massive elliptical galaxy NGC 1395, located in the Eridanus supergroup. The photomet…
Deep MOS Spectroscopy of NGC 1316 Globular Clusters
Leandro A. Sesto, Favio R. Faifer, Juan C. Forte +1
The giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 is the brightest galaxy in the Fornax cluster, and displays a number of morphological features that might be interpreted as an intermediate age…
Supra-galactic Colour Patterns in Globular Cluster Systems
Juan C. Forte
An analysis of globular cluster systems associated with galaxies included in the Virgo and Fornax HST Advanced Camera Surveys reveals distinct (g-z) colour modulation patterns. The…
First confirmed ultra-compact dwarf galaxy in the NGC 5044 group
Favio R. Faifer, Carlos G. Escudero, María C. Scalia +5
Context. Ultra-compact dwarfs (UCDs) are stellar systems displaying colours and metallicities between those of globular clusters (GCs) and early-type dwarf galaxies, as well as siz…
About Synchronized Globular Cluster Formation over Supra-galactic Scales
Juan C. Forte
Observational and theoretical arguments support the idea that violent events connected with activity and/or intense star forming episodes have played a significant role in th…
