Structural Properties of Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxies in the Fornax and Virgo Clusters
E. A. Evstigneeva, M. J. Drinkwater, C. Y. Peng +6
We present a detailed analysis of two-band HST/ACS imaging of 21 ultra-compact dwarf (UCD) galaxies in the Virgo and Fornax Clusters. The aim of this work is to test two formation…
Formation of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies: tests of the galaxy threshing scenario in Fornax
P. A. Thomas, M. J. Drinkwater, E. Evstigneeva
This paper investigates the possibility that UCD galaxies in the Fornax cluster are formed by the threshing of nucleated, early-type dwarf galaxies (hereafter dwarf galaxies). Simi…
Compact Stellar Systems around NGC 1399
P. Firth, M. J. Drinkwater, E. A. Evstigneeva +4
We have obtained spectroscopic redshifts of colour-selected point sources in four wide area VLT-FLAMES fields around the Fornax Cluster giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1399, identifyin…
Searches for Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxies in Galaxy Groups
E. A. Evstigneeva, M. J. Drinkwater, R. Jurek +4
We present the results of a search for ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in six different galaxy groups: Dorado, NGC1400, NGC0681, NGC4038, NGC4697 and NGC5084. We searched in th…
Dynamical masses of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies in Fornax
M. Hilker, H. Baumgardt, L. Infante +3
Aims. We determine masses and mass-to-light ratios of five ultra-compact dwarf galaxies and one dwarf elliptical nucleus in the Fornax cluster from high resolution spectroscopy. Me…
Internal Properties of Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
E. A. Evstigneeva, M. D. Gregg, M. J. Drinkwater +1
We present new imaging and spectroscopic observations of six ultra-compact dwarf (UCD) galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, along with re-analysed data for five Fornax Cluster UCDs. Thes…
