The Time-Variable Ultra-Luminous X-ray Sources of "The Antennae"
G. Fabbiano, A. Zezas, A. R. King +3
We report the first results of the Chandra temporal monitoring of the ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in the Antennae galaxies (NGC 4038/39). Observations at four different epo…
Formation of Globular Clusters in Merging Galaxies
Francois Schweizer
Collisions and mergers of gas-rich galaxies trigger bursts of star and cluster formation. Of the thousands of clusters typically formed during a major merger, only the most massive…
Keck Spectroscopy of Globular Clusters in the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 3610
Jay Strader, Jean P. Brodie, Francois Schweizer +2
We present moderate-resolution Keck spectra of nine candidate globular clusters in the possible merger-remnant elliptical galaxy NGC 3610. Eight of the objects appear to be bona fi…
The Luminosity Functions of Old and Intermediate-Age Globular Clusters in NGC 3610
B. C. Whitmore, F. Schweizer, A. Kundu +1
The WFPC2 Camera on board HST has been used to obtain high-resolution images of NGC 3610, a dynamically young elliptical galaxy. These observations supersede shorter, undithered HS…
