Velocity dispersion measurements of dwarf galaxies in the Coma cluster - implications for the structure of the fundamental plane

A. M. Cody, D. Carter, T. J. Bridges +2

We present intermediate-resolution spectroscopic data for a set of dwarf and giant galaxies in the Coma Cluster, with -20.6 < M_R < -15.7. The photometric and kinematic properties…

A Review of Early-Time Optical Follow-ups with 2-m Robotic Telescopes

A. Gomboc, C. Guidorzi, C. G. Mundell +9

We summarise recent deep, rapid GRB follow-up observations using the RoboNet-1.0 network which comprises three fully-robotic 2-m telescopes, the Liverpool Telescope and the Faulkes…

Anatomy of A Dark Burst - The Afterglow of GRB 060108

S. R. Oates, C. G. Mundell, S. Piranomonte +20

We report the first detection of an optical afterglow of a GRB (060108) that would have been classified as 'dark' in the absence of deep, rapid ground-based optical imaging with th…

Planetary Nebula Velocities in the Disk and Bulge of M31

C. Halliday, D. Carter, T. J. Bridges +10

We present radial velocities for a sample of 723 planetary nebulae (PNe) in the disk and bulge of M31, measured using the WYFFOS fibre spectrograph on the William Herschel telescop…

Early GRB Optical and Infrared Afterglow Observations with the 2-m Robotic Liverpool Telescope

A. Gomboc, C. G. Mundell, C. Guidorzi +12

We present the first optical observations of a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) afterglow using the 2-m robotic Liverpool Telescope (LT), which is owned and operated by Liverpool John Moores…

Rapid GRB Follow-up with the 2-m Robotic Liverpool Telescope

A. Gomboc, M. F. Bode, D. Carter +7

We present the capabilities of the 2-m robotic Liverpool Telescope (LT), owned and operated by Liverpool John Moores University and situated at ORM, La Palma. Robotic control and s…

Imaging of the Shell Galaxies NGC 474 and NGC 7600, and Implications for their Formation

A. J. Turnbull, T. J. Bridges, D. Carter

We present photometric observations of two shell galaxies, NGC 474 and NGC 7600. We examine the photometric colours and surface brightnesses of the shells and their host galaxies,…

Kinematics, Abundances, and Origin of Brightest Cluster Galaxies

D. Carter, T. J. Bridges, G. K. T. Hau

We present kinematic parameters and absorption line strengths for three brightest cluster galaxies, NGC 6166, NGC 6173 and NGC 6086. We find that NGC 6166 has a velocity dispersion…

The shell elliptical NGC2865: evolutionary population synthesis of a kinematically distinct core

G. K. T. Hau, D. Carter, M. Balcells

We report on the discovery of a rapidly co-rotating stellar and gas component in the nucleus of the shell elliptical NGC2865. The stellar component extends ~ 0.51/h100 kpc along th…

Kinematics and Metallicities of Globular Clusters in M104

T. J. Bridges, K. M. Ashman, S. E. Zepf +4

We have obtained spectra for globular cluster candidates in M104 with LDSS-2 on the William Herschel Telescope, confirming 34 objects as M104 globular clusters. We find a cluster v…
