The connection between globular cluster systems and their host galaxy and environment: a case study of the isolated elliptical NGC 821
Lee R. Spitler, Duncan A. Forbes, Jay Strader +2
In an effort to probe the globular cluster (GC) system of an isolated elliptical galaxy, a comprehensive analysis of the NGC 821 GC system was performed. New imaging from the WIYN…
Keck spectroscopy of globular clusters in the spiral galaxy NGC 2683
Robert N. Proctor, Duncan A. Forbes, Jean P. Brodie +1
We analyse Keck spectra of 24 candidate globular clusters (GCs) associated with the spiral galaxy NGC 2683. We identify 19 bona fide GCs based on their recession velocities, of whi…
Anatomy of a Young Massive Star Cluster: NGC 1569-B
S. S. Larsen, L. Origlia, J. P. Brodie +1
We present new H-band echelle spectra, obtained with the NIRSPEC spectrograph at Keck II, for the massive star cluster "B" in the nearby dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 1569. From spect…
Stellar populations of Globular Clusters in the Elliptical galaxy NGC1407
A. Javier Cenarro, Michael A. Beasley, Jay Strader +2
We present high-quality, Keck spectroscopic data for a sample of 20 globular clusters (GCs) in the massive E0 galaxy NGC1407. A subset of twenty line-strength indices of the Lick/I…
Spatially resolved spectroscopy of early-type galaxies over a range in mass
P. Sanchez-Blazquez, D. A. Forbes, J. Strader +2
Long-slit spectra have been obtained with the Keck telescope for a sample of 11 early-type galaxies covering a wide range in luminosity and hence mass. Rotation velocity and veloci…
Formation History of Stars and Star Clusters in Nearby Galaxies
S. S. Larsen, M. D. Mora, J. P. Brodie +1
We present first results from an HST/ACS imaging survey of stars and star clusters in five nearby spiral galaxies. This contribution concentrates on NGC 1313, a highly distorted la…
