The environments of starburst and post-starburst galaxies at z=0.4-0.8
Bianca M. Poggianti, Alfonso Aragon-Salamanca, Dennis Zaritsky +16
Post-starburst (E+A or k+a) spectra, characterized by their exceptionally strong Balmer lines in absorption and the lack of emission lines, belong to galaxies in which the star for…
The relation between star formation, morphology and local density in high redshift clusters and groups
Bianca M. Poggianti, Vandana Desai, Rose Finn +17
We investigate how the [OII] properties and the morphologies of galaxies in clusters and groups at z=0.4-0.8 depend on projected local galaxy density, and compare with the field at…
The evolution of the brightest cluster galaxies since z~1 from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS)
I. M. Whiley, A. Aragon-Salamanca, G. De Lucia +13
[Abridged] We present K-band data for the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey. These data are combined with photometry from Aragon-Salamanca et al…
Evidence for metallicity spreads in three massive M31 globular clusters
Isaura Fuentes-Carrera, Pascale Jablonka, Ata Sarajedini +3
We quantify the intrinsic width of the red giant branches of three massive globular clusters in M31 in a search for metallicity spreads within these objects. We present HST/ACS obs…
An extended star cluster at the outer edge of the spiral galaxy M33
Rima Stonkute, Vladas Vansevicius, Nobuo Arimoto +6
We report a discovery of an extended globular-like star cluster, M33-EC1, at the outer edge of the spiral galaxy M33. The distance to the cluster is 890 kpc, and it lies at a 12.5…
The kinematic status and mass content of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy
G. Battaglia, A. Helmi, E. Tolstoy +3
We present VLT/FLAMES spectroscopic observations (R~6500) in the CaII triplet region for 470 probable kinematic members of the Sculptor (Scl) dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The accurate…
