Compact stellar systems and cluster environments
P. Firth, M. J. Drinkwater, A. M. Karick
We have extended the search for luminous (M_{b_J} <= -10.5) compact stellar systems (CSSs) in the Virgo and Fornax galaxy clusters by targeting with the recently commissioned AAOme…
Compact Stellar Systems around NGC 1399
P. Firth, M. J. Drinkwater, E. A. Evstigneeva +4
We have obtained spectroscopic redshifts of colour-selected point sources in four wide area VLT-FLAMES fields around the Fornax Cluster giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1399, identifyin…
Searches for Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxies in Galaxy Groups
E. A. Evstigneeva, M. J. Drinkwater, R. Jurek +4
We present the results of a search for ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in six different galaxy groups: Dorado, NGC1400, NGC0681, NGC4038, NGC4697 and NGC5084. We searched in th…
Kinematics, Substructure and Luminosity-weighted Dynamics of Six Nearby Galaxy Groups
P. Firth, E. Evstigneeva, J. B. Jones +3
We have redefined group membership of six southern galaxy groups in the local universe (mean cz < 2000 km/s) based on new redshift measurements from our recently acquired Anglo-Aus…
Ultra-Compact Stellar Systems in the Fornax Galaxy Cluster
P. Firth, M. J. Drinkwater, E. A. Evstigneeva +6
Our VLT (FLAMES) observations near NGC1399 investigate the connection between ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs), NGC1399 globular clusters and intra-cluster globulars. We have un…
Multi-colour Imaging of Ultra-compact Objects in the Fornax Cluster
A. M. Karick, M. D. Gregg, M. J. Drinkwater +2
Ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) are a new type of galaxy we have discovered in the central region of the Fornax and Virgo clusters. Unresolved in ground-based imaging, UCDs hav…
