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…
Globular Clusters in Virgo Ellipticals: Unexpected Results for Giants, Dwarfs, and Nuclei from ACS Imaging
Jay Strader, Jean P. Brodie, Lee Spitler +1
We have analyzed archival HST/ACS images in Sloan g and z of the globular cluster (GC) systems of 53 ellipticals in the Virgo Cluster, spanning massive galaxies to dEs. Among the n…
