Dynamical Evolution of Globular Clusters in the Magellanic Clouds and Other Local Systems
A. D. Mackey, G. F. Gilmore
Observations of rich LMC and SMC clusters reveal an increasing spread in core radius with age. This trend likely represents real physical evolution in these systems. Old Magellanic…
Palomar 5 and its tidal tails: New observational results
M. Odenkirchen, E. K. Grebel, W. Dehnen +4
Sloan Digital Sky Survey data for the field of the globular cluster Pal 5 reveal the existence of a long massive stream of tidal debris spanning an arc of 10 degrees on the sky. Pa…
On the Oosterhoff Classification of the Unusual, Metal-Rich Globular Clusters NGC 6388 and NGC 6441
M. Catelan, A. V. Sweigart, B. J. Pritzl +1
We discuss the Oosterhoff classification of the unusual, metal-rich globular clusters NGC 6388 and NGC 6441, on the basis of new evolutionary models computed for a range of metalli…
Automated search for LSB galaxies
S. Sabatini, R. Scaramella, V. Testa +4
Low Surface Brightness Galaxies (LSBGs) today constitute the less known fraction of galaxies: their number density and their physical properties (e.g. luminosity, colour, dynamics)…
