The connection between globular cluster systems and their host galaxy and environment: a case study of the isolated elliptical NGC 821
Lee R. Spitler, Duncan A. Forbes, Jay Strader +2
In an effort to probe the globular cluster (GC) system of an isolated elliptical galaxy, a comprehensive analysis of the NGC 821 GC system was performed. New imaging from the WIYN…
Keck spectroscopy of globular clusters in the spiral galaxy NGC 2683
Robert N. Proctor, Duncan A. Forbes, Jean P. Brodie +1
We analyse Keck spectra of 24 candidate globular clusters (GCs) associated with the spiral galaxy NGC 2683. We identify 19 bona fide GCs based on their recession velocities, of whi…
Stellar populations of Globular Clusters in the Elliptical galaxy NGC1407
A. Javier Cenarro, Michael A. Beasley, Jay Strader +2
We present high-quality, Keck spectroscopic data for a sample of 20 globular clusters (GCs) in the massive E0 galaxy NGC1407. A subset of twenty line-strength indices of the Lick/I…
Spatially resolved spectroscopy of early-type galaxies over a range in mass
P. Sanchez-Blazquez, D. A. Forbes, J. Strader +2
Long-slit spectra have been obtained with the Keck telescope for a sample of 11 early-type galaxies covering a wide range in luminosity and hence mass. Rotation velocity and veloci…
Integrated Colours of Milky Way Globular Clusters and Horizontal Branch Morphology
Graeme H. Smith, Jay Strader
Broadband colours are often used as metallicity proxies in the study of extragalactic globular clusters. A common concern is the effect of variations in horizontal branch (HB) morp…
The N2K Consortium. VII. Atmospheric Parameters of 1907 Metal-Rich Stars: Finding Planet-Search Targets
Sarah E. Robinson, S. Mark Ammons, Katherine A. Kretke +4
We report high-precision atmospheric parameters for 1907 stars in the N2K low-resolution spectroscopic survey, designed to identify metal-rich FGK dwarfs likely to harbor detectabl…
