The anatomy of the NGC 5044 group - I. Group membership and dynamics
J. Trevor Mendel, Robert N. Proctor, Duncan A. Forbes +1
We use a combination of new AAOmega multi-object wide-field spectroscopic observations and literature data to define 111 spectroscopically confirmed members of the massive NGC 5044…
The effects of stellar populations on galaxy scaling relations in the 6dF Galaxy Survey
Robert N. Proctor, Philip Lah, Duncan A. Forbes +2
We present an analysis of the stellar populations in a sample of ~7000 galaxies from the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS). We derive ages and metallicities using stellar population models…
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…
The early-type galaxies NGC 1407 and NGC 1400 - I: spatially resolved radial kinematics and surface photometry
Max Spolaor, Duncan A. Forbes, George K. T. Hau +2
This is the first paper of a series focused on investigating the star formation and evolutionary history of the two early-type galaxies NGC 1407 and NGC 1400. They are the two brig…
Gemini/GMOS Spectroscopy of the Spheroid and Globular Cluster System of NGC 3923
Mark A. Norris, Ray M. Sharples, Terry Bridges +8
We present a technique to extract ultra-deep diffuse-light spectra from the standard multi-object spectroscopic observations used to investigate extragalactic globular cluster (GC)…
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…
