Metallicity and Age of the Stellar Stream Around the Disk Galaxy NGC 5907
Seppo Laine, Carl J. Grillmair, Peter Capak +9
Stellar streams have become central to studies of the interaction histories of nearby galaxies. To characterize the most prominent parts of the stellar stream around the well-known…
New Surface Brightness Fluctuations Spectroscopic Technique: NGC4449 and its Stellar Tidal Stream
Elisa Toloba, Puragra Guhathakurta, Aaron Romanowsky +5
We present a new spectroscopic technique based in part on targeting the upward fluctuations of the surface brightness for studying the internal stellar kinematics and metallicities…
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…
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…
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…
