Galaxy Disruption Caught in the Act
A. M. Karick, M. J. Drinkwater, M. West +2
Direct evidence of stellar material from galaxy disruption in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) relies on challenging observations of individual stars, planetary nebulae and diffuse o…
Inter-cluster Filaments of Galaxies Programme: Pilot Study Survey and Results
Kevin A. Pimbblet, Michael J. Drinkwater
We present results from a pilot study of a new wide-field, multicolour (BVR) CCD imaging project, designed to examine galaxy evolution along large scale filaments that connect clus…
Galaxy threshing and the origin of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies in the Fornax cluster
K. Bekki, W. J. Couch, M. J. Drinkwater +1
A recent all-object spectroscopic survey centred on the Fornax cluster of galaxies, has discovered a population of sub-luminous and extremely compact members, called ``ultra-compac…
Galaxy Threshing and Ultra-Compact Dwarfs in the Fornax Cluster
Michael D. Gregg, Michael J. Drinkwater, Michael J. Hilker +3
We have discovered a new type of galaxy in the Fornax Cluster: ``ultra-compact'' dwarfs (UCDs). The UCDs are unresolved in ground-based imaging and have spectra typical of old stel…
The Surface Brightness and Colour-Magnitude Relations for Fornax Cluster Galaxies
A. M. Karick, M. J. Drinkwater, M. D. Gregg
We present BVI photometry of 190 galaxies in the central region of the Fornax Cluster observed with the Michigan Curtis Schmidt Telescope. The cluster members exhibit a strong surf…
