An Ultra Compact Dwarf around the Sombrero galaxy (M104): the Nearest Massive UCD
George K. T. Hau, Lee R. Spitler, Duncan A. Forbes +5
We report the discovery of an Ultra Compact Dwarf (UCD) associated with the Sombrero galaxy (M104). This is the closest massive UCD known and the first spectroscopically verified m…
The mass-metallicity gradient relation of early-type galaxies
Max Spolaor, Robert N. Proctor, Duncan A. Forbes +1
We present a newly observed relation between galaxy mass and radial metallicity gradients of early-type galaxies. Our sample of 51 early-type galaxies encompasses a comprehensive m…
The early-type galaxies NGC 1407 and NGC 1400 - II: star formation and chemical evolutionary history
Max Spolaor, Duncan A. Forbes, Robert N. Proctor +2
We present a possible star formation and chemical evolutionary history for two early-type galaxies NGC 1407 and NGC 1400. They are the two brightest galaxies of the NGC 1407 (or Er…
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…
Spatially resolved kinematics and stellar populations of brightest cluster and group galaxies
S. Brough, R. Proctor, D. Forbes +4
We present an examination of the kinematics and stellar populations of a sample of 3 Brightest Group Galaxies (BGGs) and 3 Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) in X-ray groups and clu…
