The early-type dwarf galaxy population of the Centaurus cluster
I. Misgeld, M. Hilker, S. Mieske
We present a photometric study of the early-type dwarf galaxy population of the Centaurus cluster, aiming at investigating the galaxy luminosity function (LF) and galaxy scaling re…
High mass-to-light ratios of UCDs - Evidence for dark matter ?
Holger Baumgardt, Steffen Mieske
Ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) are stellar systems with masses of around 10^7 to 10^8 Msun and half mass radii of 10-100 pc. They have some properties in common with massive g…
Compact stellar systems in the Fornax cluster: a UV perspective
Steffen Mieske, Michael Hilker, Dominik J. Bomans +4
In recent years, increasing evidence for chemical complexity and multiple stellar populations in massive globular clusters (GCs) has emerged, including extreme horizontal branches…
An extreme IMF as an explanation for high M/L ratios in UCDs? The CO index as a tracer of bottom heavy IMFs
Steffen Mieske, Pavel Kroupa
A new type of compact stellar systems, labelled ``ultra-compact dwarf galaxies'' (UCDs), was discovered in the last decade. Recent studies show that their dynamical mass-to-light r…
On the efficiency of field star capture by star clusters
Steffen Mieske, Holger Baumgardt
An exciting recent finding regarding scaling relations among globular clusters is the so-called 'blue tilt': clusters of the blue sub-population follow a trend of redder colour wit…
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…
