The WAGGS project - II. The reliability of the calcium triplet as a metallicity indicator in integrated stellar light
Christopher Usher, Thomas Beckwith, Sabine Bellstedt +12
Using data from the WiFeS Atlas of Galactic Globular cluster Spectra we study the behaviour of the calcium triplet (CaT), a popular metallicity indicator in extragalactic stellar p…
Evidence of a Bottom-heavy Initial Mass Function in Massive Early-type Galaxies from Near-infrared Metal Lines
David J. Lagattuta, Jeremy R. Mould, Duncan A. Forbes +3
We present new evidence for a variable stellar initial mass function (IMF) in massive early-type galaxies, using high-resolution, near-infrared spectroscopy from the Folded-port In…
The WAGGS project - I. The WiFeS Atlas of Galactic Globular cluster Spectra
Christopher Usher, Nicola Pastorello, Sabine Bellstedt +9
We present the WiFeS Atlas of Galactic Globular cluster Spectra, a library of integrated spectra of Milky Way and Local Group globular clusters. We used the WiFeS integral field sp…
The SLUGGS survey: Using extended stellar kinematics to disentangle the formation histories of low mass S0 galaxies
Sabine Bellstedt, Duncan A. Forbes, Caroline Foster +5
We utilise the DEIMOS instrument on the Keck telescope to measure the wide-field stellar kinematics of early-type galaxies as part of the SAGES Legacy Unifying Globulars and Galaxi…
The SLUGGS Survey: a catalog of over 4000 globular cluster radial velocities in 27 nearby early-type galaxies
Duncan A. Forbes, Adebusola Alabi, Jean P. Brodie +10
Here we present positions and radial velocities for over 4000 globular clusters (GCs) in 27 nearby early-type galaxies from the SLUGGS survey. The SLUGGS survey is designed to be r…
The SLUGGS survey: a new mask design to reconstruct the stellar populations and kinematics of both inner and outer galaxy regions
Nicola Pastorello, Duncan A. Forbes, Adriano Poci +7
Integral field unit spectrographs allow the 2D exploration of the kinematics and stellar populations of galaxies, although they are generally restricted to small fields-of-view. Us…
