An HST Census of Nuclear Star Clusters in Late-Type Spiral Galaxies: I. Observations and Image Analysis
Torsten Boeker, Seppo Laine, Roeland P. van der Marel +4
We present new HST I-band images of a sample of 77 nearby, late-type spiral galaxies with low inclination. The main purpose of this catalog is to study the frequency and properties…
Keck Spectroscopy of Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
M. Geha, P. Guhathakurta, R. van der Marel
Keck spectroscopy is presented for four dwarf elliptical galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. At this distance, the mean velocity and velocity dispersion are well resolved as a function…
Magellanic Cloud Structure from Near-IR Surveys II: Star Count Maps and the Intrinsic Elongation of the LMC
Roeland P. van der Marel
I construct a near-IR star count map of the LMC and demonstrate, using the viewing angles derived in Paper I, that the LMC is intrinsically elongated. I argue that this is due to t…
Magellanic Cloud Structure from Near-IR Surveys I: The Viewing Angles of the LMC
Roeland P. van der Marel, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni
We present a detailed study of the viewing angles of the LMC disk plane. We find that our viewing direction differs considerably from the commonly accepted values, which has import…
