Tidal Tails of Minor Mergers: Star Formation Efficiency in the Western Tail of NGC 2782
Karen Knierman, Patricia Knezek, Paul Scowen +2
While major mergers and their tidal debris are well studied, they are less common than minor mergers (mass ratios < 0.3). The peculiar spiral NGC 2782 is the result of a merger bet…
Further Definition of the Mass-Metallicity Relation in Globular Cluster Systems Around Brightest Cluster Galaxies
Robert Cockcroft, William E. Harris, Elizabeth M. H. Wehner +2
We combine the globular cluster data for fifteen Brightest Cluster Galaxies and use this material to trace the mass-metallicity relations (MMR) in their globular cluster systems (G…
The Globular Cluster Systems around NGC 3311 and NGC 3309
Elizabeth Wehner, Bill Harris, Brad Whitmore +2
We present extensive new photometry in (g',i') of the large globular cluster (GC) system around NGC 3311, the central cD galaxy in the Hydra cluster. Our GMOS data cover a 5.5' fie…
The Leo Elliptical NGC 3379: A Metal-Poor Halo Emerges
W. E. Harris, G. L. H. Harris, A. C. Layden +1
We have used the ACS camera on HST to obtain (V,I) photometry for 5300 red-giant stars in the halo of the dominant Leo-group member NGC 3379, a galaxy usually regarded as a classic…
NGC 3310 and Its Tidal Debris: Remnants of Galaxy Evolution
Elizabeth H. Wehner, John S. Gallagher, Polichronis Papaderos +2
NGC 3310 is a local galaxy with an intense, ongoing starburst thought to result from a merger with a companion galaxy. It has several known tidal features in the northwest and sout…
From Supermassive Black Holes to Dwarf Elliptical Nuclei: a Mass Continuum
Elizabeth Wehner, William Harris
Considerable evidence suggests that supermassive black holes reside at the centers of massive galactic bulges. At a lower galactic mass range, many dwarf galaxies contain extremely…
