Peculiar velocities in the Zone of Avoidance: Determining the Distance to the Norma cluster
P. A. Woudt, A. P. Fairall, R. C. Kraan-Korteweg +4
Deep J, H and Ks photometry of the low Galactic latitude Norma cluster has been obtained with the 1.4-m Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF) and with SOFI on the NTT. Together with spec…
Structural properties of discs and bulges of early-type galaxies
Roelof S. de Jong, Luc Simard, Roger L. Davies +5
We have used the EFAR sample of galaxies to study the light distributions of early-type galaxies. We decompose the 2D light distribution of the galaxies in a flattened spheroidal c…
Globular Cluster and Galaxy Formation: M31, the Milky Way and Implications for Globular Cluster Systems of Spiral Galaxies
D. Burstein, Y. Li, K. C. Freeman +10
The globular cluster (GC) systems of the Milky Way and of our neighboring spiral galaxy, M31, comprise 2 distinct entities, differing in 3 respects. 1. M31 has young GCs, ages from…
Is the Giant Elliptical Galaxy NGC5018 a Post-Merger Remnant?
L. M. Buson, F. Bertola, A. Bressan +2
NGC5018, one of the weakest UV emitters among giant ellipticals (gE) observed with IUE, appears to consist of an optical stellar population very similar to that of the compact, dwa…
Multicolor Photometric Observations of Optical Candidates to Faint ROSAT X-ray Sources in a 1 deg field of the BATC Survey
Haotong Zhang, Suijian Xue, David Burstein +6
We present optical candidates for 75 X-ray sources in a deg overlapping region with the medium deep ROSAT survey. These candidates are selected using the multi-color C…
