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…
