Globular Cluster Scale Sizes in Giant Galaxies: Orbital Anisotropy and Tidally Under-filling Clusters in M87, NGC 1399, and NGC 5128
Jeremy J. Webb, Alison Sills, William E. Harris +4
We investigate the shallow increase in globular cluster half-light radii with projected galactocentric distance observed in the giant galaxies M87, NGC 1399, and NGC 5128.…
Observational Evidence for a Dark Side to NGC5128's Globular Cluster System
Matthew Taylor, Thomas Puzia, Matias Gomez +1
We present a study of the dynamical properties of 125 compact stellar systems (CSSs) in the nearby giant elliptical galaxy NGC5128, using high-resolution spectra (R 26,000) obtaine…
The SAGES Legacy Unifying Globulars and GalaxieS Survey (SLUGGS): Sample definition, methods, and initial results
Jean P. Brodie, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jay Strader +14
We introduce and provide the scientific motivation for a wide-field photometric and spectroscopic chemodynamical survey of nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs) and their globular clus…
The SLUGGS Survey: Wide-field Stellar Kinematics of Early-type Galaxies
Jacob A. Arnold, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jean P. Brodie +10
We present stellar kinematics of 22 nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs), based on two-dimensional (2D) absorption line stellar spectroscopy out to ~2-4 R_e (effective radii), as part…
Comparing the White Dwarf Cooling Sequences in 47 Tuc and NGC 6397
Harvey B. Richer, Ryan Goldsbury, Jeremy Heyl +7
Using deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging, color-magnitude diagrams are constructed for the globular clusters 47 Tuc and NGC 6397. As expected, because of its lower metal abundance…
The SLUGGS Survey: Wide Field Imaging of the Globular Cluster System of NGC 4278
Christopher Usher, Duncan A. Forbes, Lee R. Spitler +4
We use multi-pointing HST ACS and wide field Subaru Suprime-Cam imaging to study the globular cluster system of the L* elliptical galaxy NGC 4278. We have also obtained a handful o…
