The low surface brightness dwarf members of nearby groups of galaxies
E. R. Carrasco, C. Mendes de Oliveira, L. Infante
We present the photometric and spectroscopic results of a survey done in a wide-field area of nearby groups and poor clusters. The main goals are identifying and characterizing the…
Potential of the Surface Brightness Fluctuation method to measure distances to dwarf ellipticals in nearby clusters
S. Mieske, M. Hilker, L. Infante
The potential of the Surface Brightness Fluctuation (SBF) method to determine distances to dwarf ellipticals in nearby clusters is investigated. We find that for the Fornax cluster…
Spectroscopy of Globular Clusters in NGC 1399 - A Progress Report
T. Richtler, B. Dirsch, D. Geisler +9
We performed spectroscopy of globular clusters associated with NGC 1399 and measured radial velocities of more than 400 clusters, the largest sample ever obtained for dynamical stu…
The low surface brightness members of nearby groups
C. Mendes de Oliveira, E. R. Carrasco, L. Infante +1
We are undertaking a large, wide-field survey of nearby groups and poor clusters. The main goals are identifying and characterizing the properties of low-surface-brightness dwarf g…
The Dynamics of the cD Clusters Abell 119 and Abell 133
M. J. Way, H. Quintana, L. Infante
A dynamical analysis of the structure of the clusters of galaxies Abell 119 and Abell 133 is presented, using new redshift data combined with existing data from the literature. We…
NGC 1427A - an LMC type galaxy in the Fornax Cluster
M. Hilker, D. J. Bomans, L. Infante +1
We have discovered that the Fornax irregular galaxy NGC 1427A is in very many respects a twin of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Based on B, V, I, and H alpha images, we find the follo…
