Evidence for An Intermediate-Age, Metal-rich Population of Globular Clusters in NGC 4365

S. S. Larsen, J. P. Brodie, M. A. Beasley +4

We present spectroscopy for globular clusters (GCs) in the elliptical galaxy NGC 4365, obtained with the LRIS spectrograph on the Keck I telescope. Previous studies have shown that…

VLT spectroscopy of globular cluster in NGC 3115

Harald Kuntschner, Bodo L. Ziegler, R. M. Sharples +2

We present results derived from VLT-FORS2 spectra of 17 globular clusters associated with the nearby lenticular galaxy NGC3115. Comparing line-strength indices to new stellar popul…

Early-type galaxies in low-density environments

Harald Kuntschner, Russell J. Smith, Matthew Colless +3

We describe the construction and study of an objectively-defined sample of early-type galaxies in low-density environments. The sample galaxies are selected from a recently-complet…

SAURON: Observations of E/S0/Sa galaxies

H. Kuntschner, R. Bacon, M. Bureau +9

We present results from a new and unique integral-field spectrograph, SAURON. It has a large field of view and high throughput and is primarily built for the study of stellar & gas…

Two-dimensional kinematics and stellar populations of early-type galaxies: First results from the SAURON survey

Roland Bacon, Martin Bureau, Michele Cappellari +9

We present the SAURON project, which is aimed at studying the morphology, two-dimensional kinematics and stellar populations of a representative sample of elliptical galaxies and s…

SAURON Observations of Disks in Spheroids

M. Bureau, R. Bacon, E. Emsellem +9

The panoramic integral-field spectrograph SAURON is currently being used to map the stellar kinematics, gaseous kinematics, and stellar populations of a large number of early-type…
