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 AIMSS Project II: Dynamical-to-Stellar Mass Ratios Across the Star Cluster - Galaxy Divide
Duncan A. Forbes, Mark A. Norris, Jay Strader +5
The previously clear division between small galaxies and massive star clusters is now occupied by objects called ultra compact dwarfs (UCDs) and compact ellipticals (cEs). Here we…
The AIMSS Project I: Bridging the Star Cluster - Galaxy Divide
Mark A. Norris, Sheila J. Kannappan, Duncan A. Forbes +15
We describe the structural and kinematic properties of the first compact stellar systems discovered by the AIMSS project. These spectroscopically confirmed objects have sizes ($\si…
Extended Star Clusters in NGC 1023 from HST/ACS Mosaic Imaging
Duncan Forbes, Andres Almeida, Lee Spitler +1
Faint fuzzies are a relatively new class of star cluster, first found in the nearby S0 galaxy NGC 1023 by Larsen & Brodie using WFPC2 images from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).…
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…
