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…
A tidally disrupting dwarf galaxy in the halo of NGC 253
Elisa Toloba, David Sand, Kristine Spekkens +7
We report the discovery of Scl-MM-Dw2, a new dwarf galaxy at a projected separation of 50 kpc from NGC 253, as part of the PISCeS (Panoramic Imaging Survey of Centaurus and S…
The AIMSS Project III: The Stellar Populations of Compact Stellar Systems
Joachim Janz, Mark A. Norris, Duncan A. Forbes +11
In recent years, a growing zoo of compact stellar systems (CSSs) have been found whose physical properties (mass, size, velocity dispersion) place them between classical globular c…
The extended halo of Centaurus A: uncovering satellites, streams, and substructures
D. Crnojević, D. J. Sand, K. Spekkens +7
We present the widest-field resolved stellar map to date of the closest ( Mpc) massive elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 (Centaurus A; Cen A), extending out to a projected galac…
Evidence That Hydra I is a Tidally Disrupting Milky Way Dwarf Galaxy
Jonathan R. Hargis, B. Kimmig, B. Willman +6
The Eastern Banded Structure (EBS) and Hydra~I halo overdensity are very nearby (d 10 kpc) objects discovered in SDSS data. Previous studies of the region have shown that EB…
Hiding in plain sight: record-breaking compact stellar systems in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Michael A. Sandoval, Richard P. Vo, Aaron J. Romanowsky +10
Motivated by the recent, serendipitous discovery of the densest known galaxy, M60-UCD1, we present two initial findings from a follow-up search, using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey,…
