HST/STIS spectroscopy of the environment in the starburst core of M82
M. S. Westmoquette, L. J. Smith, J. S. Gallagher +3
[Abridged] We present high-resolution optical HST/STIS observations made with two slits crossing four of the brightest starburst clumps in the vicinity of the nucleus of M82. These…
Near-UV Merger Signatures in Early-Type Galaxies
Jodie R. Martin, Robert W. O'Connell, J. E. Hibbard
Hierarchical assembly of early-type galaxies (Es and S0s) over an extended period of time will result in mixed-generation stellar populations. Here we look for signatures of compos…
UV Bright Globular Clusters in M87: More Evidence for Super-helium-rich Stellar Populations?
S. Kaviraj, S. T. Sohn, R. W. O'Connell +3
We study the UV and optical properties of 38 massive GCs in M87, imaged using the HST/STIS and WFPC2 instruments. The majority of these GCs appear extremely bright in the FUV - rou…
