The star formation histories of early-type galaxies: insights from the rest-frame ultra-violet
S. Kaviraj
Our current understanding of the star formation histories of early-type galaxies is reviewed, in the context of recent observational studies of their ultra-violet (UV) properties.…

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…

On the globular cluster formation history of NGC 5128
S. Kaviraj, I. Ferreras, S. -J. Yoon +1
We deduce the globular cluster formation history of the nearby elliptical NGC 5128 by using a phenomenological chemical enrichment model to reproduce its observed metallicity distr…
