The Fornax Cluster VLT Spectroscopic Survey - V. Mass modelling of the BCG NGC 1399 out to 150 kpc
Avinash Chaturvedi, Nicola R. Napolitano, Michael Hilker +8
NGC 1399, the bright central galaxy of the Fornax cluster, hosts an extensive population of globular clusters (GCs) extending beyond 200 kpc into its outer halo, about 6.5 effectiv…
Orbital decomposition of the nuclear regions in the early-type galaxy FCC 47: Unveiling the nuclear cluster origin
Julia Lamprecht, Anja Feldmeier-Krause, Mariya Lyubenova +8
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are among the densest stellar systems in the Universe and often coexist with supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at galaxy centres. While SMBH formation h…
Looking into the faintEst WIth MUSE (LEWIS): Exploring the nature of ultra-diffuse galaxies in the Hydra-I cluster IV. A study of the Globular Cluster population in four UDGs
Marco Mirabile, Michele Cantiello, Marina Rejkuba +20
As old stellar systems, globular clusters (GCs) are key fossil tracers of galaxy formation and interaction histories. This paper is part of the LEWIS project, an integral-field spe…
GAMA 526784: the progenitor of a globular cluster-rich ultra-diffuse galaxy? I. Star clusters, stellar body and ionised gas properties
Maria Luisa Buzzo, Michael Hilker, Anita Zanella +4
Context. Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are an intriguing population of galaxies. Despite their dwarf-like stellar masses and low surface brightness, they have large half-light radi…
MUSE observations of dwarf galaxies and a stellar stream in the M83 group
Oliver Müller, Marina Rejkuba, Katja Fahrion +8
Spectroscopy for faint dwarf galaxies outside of our own Local Group is challenging. Here, we present MUSE spectroscopy to study the properties of four known dwarf satellites and o…
