A Supermassive Black Hole in a Diminutive Ultra-compact Dwarf Galaxy Discovered with JWST/NIRSpec+IFU
Matthew A. Taylor, Behzad Tahmasebzadeh, Solveig Thompson +18
The integral-field unit mode of the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec+IFU) mounted on the James Webb Space Telescope has now enabled kinematic studies of smaller and less massive…
An evolutionary continuum from nucleated dwarf galaxies to star clusters
Kaixiang Wang, Eric W. Peng, Chengze Liu +21
Systematic studies have revealed hundreds of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in the nearby Universe. With half-light radii of approximately 10-100 parsecs and stellar mas…
Testing the tidal stripping scenario of ultra-compact dwarf galaxy formation by using internal properties
Rebecca J. Mayes, Michael J. Drinkwater, Joel Pfeffer +5
We use the hydrodynamical EAGLE simulation to test if ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) can form by tidal stripping by predicting the ages and metallicities of tidally stripped g…
The Globular Cluster System of NGC 6822
J. Veljanoski, A. M. N. Ferguson, A. D. Mackey +11
We present a comprehensive analysis of the globular cluster (GC) system of the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. Our study is based on homogeneous optical and near-IR ph…
The Discovery of an Ultra-Faint Star Cluster in the Constellation of Ursa Minor
Ricardo R. Munoz, Marla Geha, Patrick Cote +5
We report the discovery of a new ultra-faint globular cluster in the constellation of Ursa Minor, based on stellar photometry from the MegaCam imager at the Canada-France-Hawaii Te…
The velocity dispersion and mass-to-light ratio of the remote halo globular cluster NGC 2419
H. Baumgardt, P. Cote, M. Hilker +4
Precise radial velocity measurements from HIRES on the Keck I telescope are presented for 40 stars in the outer halo globular cluster NGC 2419. These data are used to probe the clu…
