A discrete chemo-dynamical model of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5846: dark matter fraction, internal rotation and velocity anisotropy out to six effective radii
Ling Zhu, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Glenn van de Ven +7
We construct a suite of discrete chemo-dynamical models of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5846. These models are a powerful tool to constrain both the mass distribution and intern…
The SLUGGS survey: a new mask design to reconstruct the stellar populations and kinematics of both inner and outer galaxy regions
Nicola Pastorello, Duncan A. Forbes, Adriano Poci +7
Integral field unit spectrographs allow the 2D exploration of the kinematics and stellar populations of galaxies, although they are generally restricted to small fields-of-view. Us…
The SLUGGS Survey: The mass distribution in early-type galaxies within five effective radii and beyond
Adebusola B. Alabi, Duncan A. Forbes, Aaron J. Romanowsky +11
We study mass distributions within and beyond 5~effective radii () in 23 early-type galaxies from the SLUGGS survey, using their globular cluster (GC) kinematic data. Th…
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…
The Fornax Deep Survey with VST. I. The extended and diffuse stellar halo of NGC~1399 out to 192 kpc
E. Iodice, M. Capaccioli, A. Grado +13
[Abrigded] We have started a new deep, multi-imaging survey of the Fornax cluster, dubbed Fornax Deep Survey (FDS), at the VLT Survey Telescope. In this paper we present the deep p…
The SLUGGS Survey: globular clusters and the dark matter content of early-type galaxies
Duncan A. Forbes, Adebusola Alabi, Aaron J. Romanowsky +4
A strong correlation exists between the total mass of a globular cluster (GC) system and the virial halo mass of the host galaxy. However, the total halo mass in this correlation i…
The SLUGGS Survey: The Assembly Histories of Individual Early-type Galaxies
Duncan A. Forbes, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Nicola Pastorello +5
Early-type (E and S0) galaxies may have assembled via a variety of different evolutionary pathways. Here we investigate these pathways by comparing the stellar kinematic properties…
