The SLUGGS Survey: stellar kinematics, kinemetry and trends at large radii in 25 early-type galaxies
Caroline Foster, Nicola Pastorello, Joel Roediger +9
Due to longer dynamical timescales, the outskirts of early-type galaxies retain the footprint of their formation and assembly. Under the popular two-phase galaxy formation scenario…
The SLUGGS Survey: Globular cluster kinematics in a "double sigma" galaxy - NGC 4473
Adebusola B. Alabi, Caroline Foster, Duncan A. Forbes +6
NGC 4473 is a so--called double sigma (2) galaxy, i.e. a galaxy with rare, double peaks in its 2D stellar velocity dispersion. Here, we present the globular cluster (GC) kinemat…
The SLUGGS survey: inferring the formation epochs of metal-poor and metal-rich globular clusters
Duncan A. Forbes, Nicola Pastorello, Aaron J. Romanowsky +3
We present a novel, observationally-based framework for the formation epochs and sites of globular clusters (GCs) in a cosmological context. Measuring directly the mean ages of the…
The SLUGGS survey: Combining stellar and globular cluster metallicities in the outer regions of early-type galaxies
Nicola Pastorello, Duncan A. Forbes, Christopher Usher +9
The outer halo regions of early-type galaxies carry key information about their past accretion history. However, spectroscopically probing the stellar component at such galactocent…
Small scatter and nearly-isothermal mass profiles to four half-light radii from two-dimensional stellar dynamics of early-type galaxies
Michele Cappellari, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jean P. Brodie +9
We study the total mass-density profile for a sample of 14 fast-rotator early-type galaxies (stellar masses ). We combine observations from the SLUGG…
A SLUGGS and Gemini/GMOS combined study of the elliptical galaxy M60: wide-field photometry and kinematics of the globular cluster system
Vincenzo Pota, Jean P. Brodie, Terry Bridges +20
We present new wide-field photometry and spectroscopy of the globular clusters (GCs) around NGC 4649 (M60), the third brightest galaxy in the Virgo cluster. Imaging of NGC 4649 was…
