The SLUGGS survey: chromo-dynamical modelling of the lenticular galaxy NGC 1023
Arianna Cortesi, Ana L. Chies-Santos, Vincenzo Pota +12
Globular clusters (GCs) can be considered discrete, long-lived, dynamical tracers that retain crucial information about the assembly history of their parent galaxy. In this paper,…
Spatially resolved stellar population parameters in the BCGs of two fossil groups
Robert N. Proctor, Claudia Mendes de Oliveira, Paul Eigenthaler
We report the results of Gemini/GMOS long-slit spectroscopic observations along the major and minor axes of the central galaxies in two fossil groups, SDSS J073422.21+265133.9 and…
The Globular Cluster Kinematics and Galaxy Dark Matter Content of NGC 3923
Mark A. Norris, Karl Gebhardt, Ray M. Sharples +9
This paper presents further results from our spectroscopic study of the globular cluster (GC) system of the group elliptical NGC 3923. From observations made with the GMOS instrume…
Metallicity Gradients at Large Galactocentric Radii Using the Near-infrared Calcium Triplet
Caroline Foster, Robert N. Proctor, Duncan A. Forbes +3
We describe a new spectroscopic technique for measuring radial metallicity gradients out to large galactocentric radii. We use the DEIMOS multi-object spectrograph on the Keck tele…
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…
