The Globular Cluster System of NGC 5128: Ages, Metallicities, Kinematics, and Structural Parameters (2009)

Woodley, Kristin A.

We review our recent studies of the globular cluster system of NGC 5128. First, we have obtained low-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectroscopy of 72 globular clusters using Gemini-S/GMOS to...

The Ages, Metallicities and Alpha Element Enhancements of Globular Clusters in the Elliptical NGC 5128: A Homogeneous Spectroscopic Study with Gemini/GMOS (2009)

Woodley, Kristin A., Harris, William E., Puzia, Thomas H., Gomez, Matias, Harris, Gretchen L. H., Geisler, Doug

We present new integrated light spectroscopy of globular clusters (GCs) in NGC 5128 in order to measure radial velocities and derive ages, metallicities, and alpha-element abundance ratios. Using...

A Transient Black-Hole Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Candidate in Centaurus A (2008)

Sivakoff, Gregory R., Kraft, Ralph P., Jordán, Andrés, Juett, Adrienne M., Evans, Daniel A., Forman, William R., ...

We report the discovery of a bright transient X-ray source, CXOU J132518.2-430304, towards Centaurus A (Cen A) using six new Chandra X-Ray Observatory observations in 2007 March--May. Between 2003...

Globular Clusters and X-ray Point Sources in Centaurus A (NGC 5128) (2008)

Woodley, Kristin A., Raychaudhury, Somak, Kraft, Ralph P., Harris, William E., Jordan, Andres, Whitaker, Katherine E., ...

We detect 353 X-ray point sources, mostly low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), in four Chandra observations of Centaurus A (NGC 5128), the nearest giant early-type galaxy, and correlate this point source...

Low-Mass X-ray Binaries and Globular Clusters in Centaurus A (2007)

Jordan, Andres, Sivakoff, Gregory R., McLaughlin, Dean E., Blakeslee, John P., Evans, Daniel A., Kraft, Ralph P., ...

We present results of Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of globular clusters (GCs) and low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in the central regions of Centaurus A. Out of...

The Kinematics and Dynamics of the Globular Clusters and the Planetary Nebulae of NGC 5128 (2007)

Woodley, Kristin A., Harris, William E., Beasley, Michael A., Peng, Eric W., Bridges, Terry J., Forbes, Duncan A., ...

A new kinematic and dynamic study of the halo of the giant elliptical galaxy, NGC 5128, is presented. From a spectroscopically confirmed sample of 340 globular clusters and 780 planetary nebulae, the...

The Centaurus Group and the Outer Halo of NGC 5128: Are they Dynamically Connected? (2006)

Woodley, Kristin A.

NGC 5128, a giant elliptical galaxy only $\sim 4$ Mpc away, is the dominant member of a galaxy group of over 80 probable members. The Centaurus group provides an excellent sample for a kinematic...

Radial Velocities of Newly Discovered Globular Clusters in NGC 5128 (2005)

Woodley, Kristin A., Harris, William E., Harris, Gretchen L. H.

We present radial velocity measurements for 74 globular clusters (GCs) in the nearby giant elliptical NGC 5128, of which 31 are newly discovered clusters. All the GC candidates were taken from the...
