Structural Properties of Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxies in the Fornax and Virgo Clusters

E. A. Evstigneeva, M. J. Drinkwater, C. Y. Peng +6

We present a detailed analysis of two-band HST/ACS imaging of 21 ultra-compact dwarf (UCD) galaxies in the Virgo and Fornax Clusters. The aim of this work is to test two formation…

2MASS Galaxies in the Fornax Cluster Spectroscopic Survey

R. A. H. Morris, S. Phillipps, J. B. Jones +5

The Fornax Cluster Spectroscopic Survey (FCSS) is an all-object survey of a region around the Fornax Cluster of galaxies undertaken using the 2dF multi-object spectrograph on the A…

Compact Stellar Systems around NGC 1399

P. Firth, M. J. Drinkwater, E. A. Evstigneeva +4

We have obtained spectroscopic redshifts of colour-selected point sources in four wide area VLT-FLAMES fields around the Fornax Cluster giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1399, identifyin…

Searches for Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxies in Galaxy Groups

E. A. Evstigneeva, M. J. Drinkwater, R. Jurek +4

We present the results of a search for ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in six different galaxy groups: Dorado, NGC1400, NGC0681, NGC4038, NGC4697 and NGC5084. We searched in th…

Kinematics, Substructure and Luminosity-weighted Dynamics of Six Nearby Galaxy Groups

P. Firth, E. Evstigneeva, J. B. Jones +3

We have redefined group membership of six southern galaxy groups in the local universe (mean cz < 2000 km/s) based on new redshift measurements from our recently acquired Anglo-Aus…

Ultra-Compact Stellar Systems in the Fornax Galaxy Cluster

P. Firth, M. J. Drinkwater, E. A. Evstigneeva +6

Our VLT (FLAMES) observations near NGC1399 investigate the connection between ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs), NGC1399 globular clusters and intra-cluster globulars. We have un…
