Globular cluster systems in fossil groups: NGC6482, NGC1132 and ESO306-017
K. A. Alamo-Martínez, M. J. West, J. P. Blakeslee +6
We study the globular cluster (GC) systems in three representative fossil group galaxies: the nearest (NGC6482), the prototype (NGC1132) and the most massive known to date (ESO306-…
On the Shapes and Structures of High-Redshift Compact Galaxies
M. Chevance, A. Weijmans, I. Damjanov +5
Recent deep Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 imaging suggests that a majority of compact quiescent massive galaxies at z~2 may contain disks. To investigate this claim, we have compared…
Luminosities of Barred and Unbarred S0 Galaxies
Sidney van den Bergh
Lenticular galaxies with M_B < -21.5 are almost exclusively unbarred, whereas both barred and unbarred objects occur at fainter luminosity levels. This effect is observed both for…
Sizes of Galactic Globular Clusters
Sidney van den Bergh
A study is made of deviations from the mean power-law relationship between the Galactocentric distances and the half-light radii of Galactic globular clusters. Surprisingly, deviat…
Hubble and Shapley - Two Early Giants of Observational Cosmology
Sidney van den Bergh
Observational cosmology of the first decades of the Twentieth Century was dominated by two giants: Edwin Hubble and Harlow Shapley. Hubble's major contributions were to the study a…
Discovery of the Expansion of the Universe
Sidney van den Bergh
The myth that the expansion of the Universe was discovered by Hubble was first propagated by Humason (1931). The true nature of this discovery turns out to have been both more comp…
