Astroinformatics based search for globular clusters in the Fornax Deep Survey

Giuseppe Angora, Massimo Brescia, Stefano Cavuoti +15

In the last years, Astroinformatics has become a well defined paradigm for many fields of Astronomy. In this work we demonstrate the potential of a multidisciplinary approach to id…

Intra-cluster GC-LMXB in the Fornax galaxy cluster

Gabriele Riccio, Maurizio Paolillo, Raffaele D'Abrusco +14

The formation of Low mass X-ray binaries (LMXB) is favored within dense stellar systems such as Globular Clusters (GCs). The connection between LMXB and Globular Clusters has been…

The first sample of spectroscopically confirmed ultra-compact massive galaxies in the Kilo Degree Survey

C. Tortora, N. R. Napolitano, M. Spavone +25

We present results from an ongoing investigation using the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) on the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) to provide a census of ultra-compact massive galaxies (UCMGs)…

The Fornax Cluster VLT Spectroscopic Survey. I - VIMOS spectroscopy of compact stellar systems in the Fornax core region

V. Pota, N. R. Napolitano, M. Hilker +21

We present the results of a wide spectroscopic survey aimed at detecting extragalactic globular clusters (GCs) in the core of the Fornax cluster. About 4500 low resolution spectra…

The Extended Spatial Distribution of Globular Clusters in the Core of the Fornax Cluster

R. D'Abrusco, M. Cantiello, M. Paolillo +16

We report the discovery of a complex extended density enhancement in the Globular Clusters (GCs) in the central ( Mpc) of the Fornax cluster,…

An overmassive Dark Halo around an Ultra-diffuse Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster

Michael A. Beasley, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Vincenzo Pota +4

Ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have the sizes of giant galaxies but the luminosities of dwarfs. A key to understanding their origins comes from their total masses, but their low sur…
