The SLUGGS Survey: The globular cluster systems of three early-type galaxies using wide-field imaging
Sreeja S. Kartha, Duncan A. Forbes, Lee R. Spitler +3
We present the results from a wide-field imaging study of globular cluster (GC) systems in three early-type galaxies. Combinations of Subaru/Suprime-Cam, CFHT/MegaCam and HST/WFPC2…
The SLUGGS Survey: Wide-field Stellar Kinematics of Early-type Galaxies
Jacob A. Arnold, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jean P. Brodie +10
We present stellar kinematics of 22 nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs), based on two-dimensional (2D) absorption line stellar spectroscopy out to ~2-4 R_e (effective radii), as part…
The SLUGGS Survey: outer triaxiality of the Fast Rotator elliptical NGC 4473
Caroline Foster, Jacob A. Arnold, Duncan A. Forbes +5
Systematic surveys of nearby early type galaxies (ETGs) using integral field unit spectrograph (IFU) data have revealed that galaxies can hide interesting structures only visible t…
The Densest Galaxy
Jay Strader, Anil Seth, Duncan Forbes +8
We report the discovery of a remarkable ultra-compact dwarf galaxy around the massive Virgo elliptical galaxy NGC 4649 (M60), which we term M60-UCD1. With a dynamical mass of 2.0 x…
Filling the gap: a new class of old star cluster?
Duncan Forbes, Vincenzo Pota, Christopher Usher +5
It is not understood whether long-lived star clusters possess a continuous range of sizes and masses (and hence densities), or if rather, they should be considered as distinct type…
The SLUGGS Survey: NGC 3115, A Critical Test Case for Metallicity Bimodality in Globular Cluster Systems
Jean P. Brodie, Christopher Usher, Charlie Conroy +4
Due to its proximity (9 Mpc) and the strongly bimodal color distribution of its spectroscopically well-sampled globular cluster (GC) system, the early-type galaxy NGC 3115 provides…
