Why do some Ultra Diffuse Galaxies have Rich Globular Cluster Systems?
Duncan A. Forbes, Maria Luisa Buzzo, Anna Ferre-Mateu +4
Some ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) reveal many more globular clusters (GCs) than classical dwarf galaxies of the same stellar mass. These UDGs, with a mass in their GC system (M$_{…
The multiple classes of ultra-diffuse galaxies: Can we tell them apart?
Maria Luisa Buzzo, Duncan A. Forbes, Thomas H. Jarrett +9
This study compiles stellar populations and internal properties of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) to highlight correlations with their local environment, globular cluster (GC) richn…
Comparing E-MOSAICS predictions of high-redshift proto-globular clusters with JWST observations in lensed galaxies
Joel Pfeffer, Duncan A. Forbes, Aaron J. Romanowsky +8
High-resolution imaging and strong gravitational lensing of high-redshift galaxies have enabled the detection of compact sources with properties similar to nearby massive star clus…
Testing the Bullet Dwarf Collision Scenario in the NGC 1052 Group Through Morphologies and Stellar Populations
Yimeng Tang, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Pieter G. van Dokkum +8
NGC 1052-DF2 and -DF4 are two ultra-diffuse galaxies that have been reported as deficient in dark matter and associated with the same galaxy group. Recent findings suggest that DF2…
The PIPER Survey. II. The Globular Cluster Systems of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies in the Perseus Cluster
Steven R. Janssens, Duncan A. Forbes, Aaron J. Romanowsky +7
We present Hubble Space Telescope ACS/WFC and WFC3/UVIS imaging for a sample of 50 low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies in the 10 M Perseus cluster, which w…
Keck/KCWI Spectroscopy of Globular Clusters in Local Volume Dwarf Galaxies
Duncan A. Forbes, Daniel Lyon, Jonah Gannon +2
A number of nearby dwarf galaxies have globular cluster (GC) candidates that require spectroscopic confirmation. Here we present Keck telescope spectra for 15 known GCs and GC cand…
A Catalogue and Analysis of Ultra-Diffuse Galaxy Spectroscopic Properties
Jonah S. Gannon, Anna Ferré-Mateu, Duncan A. Forbes +3
In order to help facilitate the future study of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) we compile a catalogue of their spectroscopic properties. Using it, we investigate some of the biases…
Analysis of Galaxies at the Extremes: A Kinematic Analysis of the Virgo Cluster Dwarfs VCC 9 and VCC 1448 using the Keck Cosmic Web Imager
Jonah S. Gannon, Duncan A. Forbes, Aaron J. Romanowsky +8
We present spatially resolved Keck Cosmic Web Imager stellar spectroscopy of the Virgo cluster dwarf galaxies VCC 9 and VCC 1448. These galaxies have similar stellar masses and lar…
Origin of the correlation between stellar kinematics and globular cluster system richness in ultra-diffuse galaxies
Joel Pfeffer, Steven R. Janssens, Maria Luisa Buzzo +9
Observational surveys have found that the dynamical masses of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) correlate with the richness of their globular cluster (GC) system. This could be explain…
Constraining the stellar populations of ultra-diffuse galaxies in the MATLAS survey using spectral energy distribution fitting
Maria Luisa Buzzo, Duncan A. Forbes, Thomas H. Jarrett +12
We use spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to place constraints on the stellar populations of 59 ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the low-to-moderate density fields of the M…
Do Ultra Diffuse Galaxies with Rich Globular Clusters Systems have Overly Massive Halos?
Duncan A. Forbes, Jonah Gannon
Some Ultra Diffuse Galaxies (UDGs) appear to host exceptionally rich globular cluster (GC) systems compared to normal galaxies of the same stellar mass. After re-examing these clai…
