CLASH-VLT: The stellar mass function and stellar mass density profile of the z=0.44 cluster of galaxies MACS J1206.2-0847
M. Annunziatella, A. Biviano, A. Mercurio +29
Context. The study of the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF) in relation to the galaxy environment and the stellar mass density profile, rho(r), is a powerful tool to constrain mod…
Spatially Resolved Kinematics of an Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxy
M. J. Frank, M. Hilker, S. Mieske +3
We present the internal kinematics of UCD3, the brightest known ultra-compact dwarf galaxy (UCD) in the Fornax cluster, making this the first UCD with spatially resolved spectrosco…
A search for massive UCDs in the Centaurus Galaxy Cluster
S. Mieske, M. Hilker, I. Misgeld +3
We recently initiated a search for ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in the Centaurus galaxy cluster (Mieske et al. 2007), resulting in the discovery of 27 compact objects with -…
A search for ultra-compact dwarf galaxies in the Centaurus galaxy cluster
S. Mieske, M. Hilker, A. Jordan +2
Aim: To extend the investigations of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) beyond the well studied Fornax and Virgo clusters. Methods: We measured spectroscopic redshifts of about 40…
Dynamical masses of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies in Fornax
M. Hilker, H. Baumgardt, L. Infante +3
Aims. We determine masses and mass-to-light ratios of five ultra-compact dwarf galaxies and one dwarf elliptical nucleus in the Fornax cluster from high resolution spectroscopy. Me…
Dwarf galaxies in the Antlia Cluster: First results
A. V. Smith Castelli, L. P. Bassino, S. A. Cellone +5
We present the first results of a project aimed to study the galaxy population of the Antlia cluster, the third nearest galaxy cluster after Virgo and Fornax. The observations for…
