Historical astronomical data: urgent need for preservation, digitization enabling scientific exploration
Alexei Pevtsov, Elizabeth Griffin, Jonathan Grindlay +16
Over the past decades and even centuries, the astronomical community has accumulated a signif-icant heritage of recorded observations of a great many astronomical objects. Those re…
Chemical Abundances in Twelve Red Giants of the Large Magellanic Cloud from High-Resolution Infrared Spectroscopy
V. V. Smith, K. H. Hinkle, K. Cunha +10
High-resolution infrared spectra (R=50,000) have been obtained for twelve red-giant members of the LMC with the Gemini South 8.3-meter telescope plus Phoenix spectrometer. Quantita…
Metal-Poor Globular Clusters of the Milky Way and Environs
James E. Hesser, Jon P. Fulbright
We review properties of the most metal-deficient globular clusters and halo stars in the local universe as of March 2001, with goals of examining present evidence for the duration…
Dynamics of the Globular Cluster System Associated with M87 (NGC 4486). II. Analysis
Patrick Cote, Dean E. McLaughlin, David A. Hanes +6
We present a dynamical analysis of the globular cluster system associated with M87 (= NGC 4486), the cD galaxy near the dynamical center of the Virgo cluster. The analysis utilizes…
CFHT Adaptive Optics Observations of the Central Kinematics in M15
Karl Gebhardt, Carlton Pryor, R. D. O'Connell +2
We have used an Imaging Fabry-Perot Spectrophotometer with the Adaptive Optics Bonnette on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to measure stellar radial velocities in the globular c…
The Globular Cluster Systems in the Coma Ellipticals. II: Metallicity Distribution and Radial Structure in NGC 4874, and Implications for Galaxy Formation
W. E. Harris, J. J. Kavelaars, D. A. Hanes +2
Deep HST/WFPC2 (V,I) photometry is used to investigate the globular cluster system (GCS) in NGC 4874, the central cD galaxy of the Coma cluster. The luminosity function of the clus…
