The WAGGS project -- III. Discrepant mass-to-light ratios of Galactic globular clusters at high metallicity
H. Dalgleish, S. Kamann, C. Usher +10
Observed mass-to-light ratios (M/L) of metal-rich globular clusters (GCs) disagree with theoretical predictions. This discrepancy is of fundamental importance since stellar populat…
The SLUGGS Survey: a catalog of over 4000 globular cluster radial velocities in 27 nearby early-type galaxies
Duncan A. Forbes, Adebusola Alabi, Jean P. Brodie +10
Here we present positions and radial velocities for over 4000 globular clusters (GCs) in 27 nearby early-type galaxies from the SLUGGS survey. The SLUGGS survey is designed to be r…
The SLUGGS survey: Globular cluster stellar population trends from weak absorption lines in stacked spectra
Christopher Usher, Duncan A. Forbes, Jean P. Brodie +7
As part of the SLUGGS survey, we stack 1137 Keck DEIMOS spectra of globular clusters from 10 galaxies to study their stellar populations in detail. The stacked spectra have median…
The SLUGGS survey: Exploring the metallicity gradients of nearby early-type galaxies to large radii
Nicola Pastorello, Duncan A. Forbes, Caroline Foster +5
Stellar metallicity gradients in the outer regions of galaxies are a critical tool for disentangling the contributions of in-situ and ex-situ formed stars. In the two-phase galaxy…
The SAGES Legacy Unifying Globulars and GalaxieS Survey (SLUGGS): Sample definition, methods, and initial results
Jean P. Brodie, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jay Strader +14
We introduce and provide the scientific motivation for a wide-field photometric and spectroscopic chemodynamical survey of nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs) and their globular clus…
