Star cluster kinematics with AAOmega
L. L. Kiss, Z. Balog, Gy. M. Szabo +2
The high-resolution setup of the AAOmega spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope makes it a beautiful radial velocity machine, with which one can measure velocities of up to…
Multi-frequency Study of the LMC Supernova Remnant (SNR) B0513-692 and New SNR Candidate J051327-6911
I. S. Bojicic, M. D. Filipovic, Q. A. Parker +5
We present a new multi-wavelength study of supernova remnant (SNR) B0513-692 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The remnant also has a strong, superposed, essentially unresolved,…
G315.1+2.7: a new Galactic SNR from the AAO/UKST HAlpha survey
M. Stupar, Q. A. Parker, M. D. Filipovic
New narrow-band HAlpha imaging and subsequent optical spectra confirm G315.1+2.7, a previously identified candidate supernova remnant (SNR), as a bona-fide Galactic SNR. Present ob…
The 6dF Galaxy Survey
Ken-ichi Wakamatsu, Matthew Colless, Tom Jarrett +3
The 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) is a spectroscopic survey of the entire southern sky with , based on the 2MASS near infrared galaxy catalog. It is conducted with the 6dF mul…
The Fornax Spectroscopic Survey I. Survey Strategy and Preliminary Results on the Redshift Distribution of a Complete Sample of Stars and Galaxies
M. J. Drinkwater, S. Phillipps, J. B. Jones +6
The Fornax Spectroscopic Survey will use the Two degree Field spectrograph (2dF) of the Anglo-Australian Telescope to obtain spectra for a complete sample of all 14000 objects with…
Found: High Surface Brightness Compact Galaxies
M. J. Drinkwater, S. Phillipps, J. B. Jones +5
We are using the 2dF spectrograph to make a survey of all objects (`stars' and `galaxies') in a 12 sq.deg region towards the Fornax cluster. We have discovered a population of comp…
