The SLUGGS Survey: Wide-field Stellar Kinematics of Early-type Galaxies
Jacob A. Arnold, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jean P. Brodie +10
We present stellar kinematics of 22 nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs), based on two-dimensional (2D) absorption line stellar spectroscopy out to ~2-4 R_e (effective radii), as part…
The Densest Galaxy
Jay Strader, Anil Seth, Duncan Forbes +8
We report the discovery of a remarkable ultra-compact dwarf galaxy around the massive Virgo elliptical galaxy NGC 4649 (M60), which we term M60-UCD1. With a dynamical mass of 2.0 x…
Filling the gap: a new class of old star cluster?
Duncan Forbes, Vincenzo Pota, Christopher Usher +5
It is not understood whether long-lived star clusters possess a continuous range of sizes and masses (and hence densities), or if rather, they should be considered as distinct type…
The SLUGGS survey: Probing the supermassive black hole connection with bulges and haloes using red and blue globular cluster systems
Vincenzo Pota, Alister W. Graham, Duncan A. Forbes +3
Understanding whether the bulge or the halo provides the primary link to the growth of supermassive black holes has strong implications for galaxy evolution and supermassive black…
The Planetary Nebula Spectrograph survey of S0 galaxy kinematics. Data and Overview
A. Cortesi, M. Arnaboldi, L. Coccato +11
The origins of S0 galaxies remain obscure, with various mechanisms proposed for their formation, likely depending on environment. These mechanisms would imprint different signature…
