Near-field cosmology with the VLT
Steffen Mieske, Helmut Jerjen
With the arrival of wide-field imagers on medium-size telescopes (e.g. SkyMapper, Pan-STARRS) and the future co-existence of LSST with the E-ELT, it is worthwhile to evaluate the s…
UCDs - more massive than allowed?
M. Hilker, S. Mieske, H. Baumgardt +1
Dynamical mass estimates of ultra-compact dwarfs galaxies and massive globular clusters in the Fornax and Virgo clusters and around the giant elliptical Cen A have revealed some su…
The properties of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies and their possible origin
Michael Hilker, Steffen Mieske
In this contribution the discovery and properties of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies are presented, and their possible origin is discussed. This new type of galaxy resides in the core…
Potential of the Surface Brightness Fluctuation method to measure distances to dwarf ellipticals in nearby clusters
S. Mieske, M. Hilker, L. Infante
The potential of the Surface Brightness Fluctuation (SBF) method to determine distances to dwarf ellipticals in nearby clusters is investigated. We find that for the Fornax cluster…
