The SLUGGS survey: Globular cluster stellar population trends from weak absorption lines in stacked spectra
Christopher Usher, Duncan A. Forbes, Jean P. Brodie +7
As part of the SLUGGS survey, we stack 1137 Keck DEIMOS spectra of globular clusters from 10 galaxies to study their stellar populations in detail. The stacked spectra have median…
The SLUGGS survey: Exploring the metallicity gradients of nearby early-type galaxies to large radii
Nicola Pastorello, Duncan A. Forbes, Caroline Foster +5
Stellar metallicity gradients in the outer regions of galaxies are a critical tool for disentangling the contributions of in-situ and ex-situ formed stars. In the two-phase galaxy…
The SAGES Legacy Unifying Globulars and GalaxieS Survey (SLUGGS): Sample definition, methods, and initial results
Jean P. Brodie, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jay Strader +14
We introduce and provide the scientific motivation for a wide-field photometric and spectroscopic chemodynamical survey of nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs) and their globular clus…
Ultra compact dwarfs in the Perseus Cluster: UCD formation via tidal stripping
Samantha J. Penny, Duncan A. Forbes, Jay Strader +3
We present the results of a Keck/DEIMOS survey of Ultra Compact Dwarfs (UCDs) in the Perseus Cluster core. We confirm cluster membership for 14 UCDs, with radial velocities ~5300 k…
