Globular Clusters and Satellite Galaxies: Companions to the Milky Way
Duncan A. Forbes, Pavel Kroupa, Manuel Metz +1
Our Milky Way galaxy is host to a number of companions. These companions are gravitationally bound to the Milky Way and are stellar systems in their own right. They include a popul…
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…
Uniting Old Stellar Systems: From Globular Clusters to Giant Ellipticals
Duncan Forbes, Paul Lasky, Alister Graham +1
Here we examine the relationship between the virial and stellar mass for a range of old stellar systems, from GCs to giant ellipticals, and including such Intermediate Mass Objects…
The connection between globular cluster systems and their host galaxy and environment: a case study of the isolated elliptical NGC 821
Lee R. Spitler, Duncan A. Forbes, Jay Strader +2
In an effort to probe the globular cluster (GC) system of an isolated elliptical galaxy, a comprehensive analysis of the NGC 821 GC system was performed. New imaging from the WIYN…
HST/ACS Wide-Field Photometry of the Sombrero Galaxy Globular Cluster System
L. R. Spitler, S. S. Larsen, J. Strader +3
A detailed imaging analysis of the globular cluster (GC) system of the Sombrero galaxy (NGC 4594) has been accomplished using a six-image mosaic from the Hubble Space Telescope Adv…
An Imaging Study of the Globular Cluster Systems of NGC 1407 and NGC 1400
Duncan Forbes, Patricia Sanchez-Blazquez, Anna Phan +3
We present wide-field Keck telescope imaging of the globular cluster (GC) systems around NGC 1407 and NGC 1400 in the Eridanus galaxy cloud. This is complemented by Hubble Space Te…
