The Distance to NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) (2009)
Harris, Gretchen L. H., Rejkuba, Marina, Harris, William E.
In this paper we review the various high precision methods that are now available to determine the distance to NGC 5128. These methods include: Cepheids, TRGB (tip of the red giant branch), PNLF...
Lyubenova, Mariya, Kuntschner, Harald, Rejkuba, Marina, Silva, David R., Kissler-Patig, Markus, Tacconi-Garman, Lowell E., ...
Current stellar population models have arguably the largest uncertainties in the near-IR wavelength range, partly due to a lack of large and well calibrated empirical spectral libraries. In this...
Ibata, Rodrigo, Mouhcine, Mustapha, Rejkuba, Marina
We present a structural analysis of NGC891, an edge-on galaxy that has long been considered to be an analogue of the Milky Way. Using starcounts derived from deep HST/ACS images, we detect the...
The stellar population content of the thick disk and halo of the Milky Way analogue NGC 891 (2009)
Rejkuba, Marina, Mouhcine, Mustapha, Ibata, Rodrigo
We present deep ACS images of 3 fields in the edge-on disk galaxy NGC 891, which extend from the plane of the disk to 12 kpc, and out to 25 kpc along the major axis. The photometry of individual...
The Nature of UCDs: Internal Dynamics from an Expanded Sample and Homogeneous Database (2008)
Mieske, Steffen, Hilker, Michael, Jordan, Andres, Infante, Leopoldo, Kissler-Patig, Markus, Rejkuba, Marina, ...
We have obtained high-resolution spectra of 23 ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in the Fornax cluster with -10.4>M_V>-13.5 mag (10^6
Hoyer, Sergio, Alegria, Sebastian Ramirez, Ivanov, Valentin D., Minniti, Dante, Pietrzynski, Grzegorz, Ruiz, Maria Teresa, ...
We present precise new V, I, and K-band photometry for the planetary transit candidate star OGLE-TR-82. Good seeing V-band images acquired with VIMOS instrument at ESO VLT allowed us to measure...
Minniti, Dante, Rejkuba, Marina, Kennicutt Jr., Robert C.
VLT images in BVI are used to identify the ionizing source centered on Sersic 13, the largest HII region of the giant nearby galaxy NGC 5128 with log L_Halpha=39.6 erg/s. This ionizing source turns...
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of cD Galaxies and their Globular Cluster Systems (2003)
Jordan, Andres, Cote, Patrick, West, Michael J., Marzke, Ronald O., Minniti, Dante, Rejkuba, Marina
We have used WFPC2 on the Hubble Space Telescope to obtain F450W and F814W images of four cD galaxies (NGC 541 in Abell 194, NGC 2832 in Abell 779, NGC 4839 in Abell 1656 and NGC 7768 in Abell 2666)...
Kinematic Evidence for an Old Stellar Halo in the Large Magellanic Cloud (2003)
Minniti, Dante, Borissova, Jura, Rejkuba, Marina, Alves, David R., Cook, Kem H., Freeman, Kenneth C.
The oldest and most metal-poor Milky Way stars form a kinematically hot halo, which motivates the two major formation scenarios for our galaxy: extended hierarchical accretion and rapid collapse. RR...
Minniti, Dante, Rejkuba, Marina, Akiyama, Sanae
VLT images in $BVI$ are used to identify the optical counterparts to bright CHANDRA X-ray points sources discovered by Kraft et al. (2001, ApJ, 560, 675) in NGC5128. Of a total of 111 X-ray point...
K-Band Red Clump Distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud (2002)
Alves, David R., Rejkuba, Marina, Minniti, Dante, Cook, Kem H.
The Hipparcos I-band calibration of horizontal-branch red clump giants as standard candles has lead to controversial results for the distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). In an attempt to...

Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distance for the Sculptor Group Dwarf ESO 540-032 (2001)
Jerjen, Helmut, Rejkuba, Marina
We present the first VI CCD photometry for the Sculptor group galaxy ESO 540-032 obtained at the Very Large Telescope UT1+FORS1. The (I, V-I) colour-magnitude diagram indicates that this...
At the distance of NGC 5128 (3.6 \pm 0.2 Mpc) it is possible to resolve globular clusters with high resolution imaging from the ground, thus allowing the globular cluster candidate selection...
