Optical/near-infrared colours of early-type galaxies and constraints on their star formation histories
P. A. James, M. Salaris, J. I. Davies +2
(abridged) We introduce and discuss the properties of a theoretical (B-K)-(J-K) integrated colour diagram for single-age, single-metallicity stellar populations. This combination o…
Discovery of Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
J. B. Jones, M. J. Drinkwater, R. Jurek +7
We have discovered nine ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in the Virgo Cluster, extending samples of these objects outside the Fornax Cluster. Using the 2dF multi-fiber spectrogr…
Five WC9 stars discovered in the AAO/UKST H-alpha Survey
E. C. Hopewell, M. J. Barlow, J. E. Drew +7
We report the discovery of 5 massive Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars resulting from a programme of follow-up spectroscopy of candidate emission line stars in the AAO/UKST Southern Galactic P…
The INT Photometric H-alpha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS)
Janet E. Drew, R. Greimel, M. J. Irwin +1
The INT Photometric Halpha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS) is a 1800 square degrees CCD survey of the northern Milky Way spanning the latitude range -5 < b < +5 (degr…
The Aao/Ukst Supercosmos H-alpha Survey (SHS)
Q. A. Parker, S. Phillipps, M. J. Pierce +19
The UK Schmidt Telescope (UKST) of the Anglo-Australian Observatory completed a narrow-band H-alpha plus [NII] 6548, 6584A survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Magellanic Clou…
A Comparison of surface brightness profiles for ultra-compact dwarfs and dwarf elliptical nuclei: implications for the `threshing' scenario
R. De Propris, S. Phillipps, M. Drinkwater +4
Using imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope, we derive surface brightness profiles for ultra-compact dwarfs in the Fornax cluster and for the nuclei of dwarf elliptical galaxies…
