A Blue Tilt in the Globular Cluster System of the Milky Way-like Galaxy NGC 5170 (2009)
Forbes, Duncan, Spitler, Lee, Harris, William, Bailin, Jeremy, Strader, Jay, Brodie, Jean, ...
Here we present HST/ACS imaging, in the B and I bands, of the edge-on Sb/Sc galaxy NGC 5170. Excluding the central disk region region, we detect a 142 objects with colours and sizes typical of...
Mass-to-Light Ratios for M31 Globular Clusters: Age-Dating and a Surprising Metallicity Trend (2009)
Strader, Jay, Smith, Graeme, Larsen, Soeren, Brodie, Jean, Huchra, John
We have obtained velocity dispersions from Keck high-resolution integrated spectroscopy of ten M31 globular clusters (GCs), including three candidate intermediate-age GCs. We show that these...
Gieles, Mark, Larsen, Soeren, Bastian, Nate, Stein, Ilaan
We introduce a method to relate a possible truncation of the star cluster mass function at the high mass end to the shape of the cluster luminosity function (LF). We compare the observed LFs of five...
Gieles, Mark, Larsen, Soeren, Scheepmaker, Remco, Bastian, Nate, Haas, Marcel, Lamers, Henny
We present the luminosity function (LF) of star clusters in M51 based on HST/ACS observations taken as part of the Hubble Heritage project. The clusters are selected based on their size and with the...
Faint Fuzzies and the Formation of Lenticular Galaxies (2005)
Burkert, Andreas, Brodie, Jean, Larsen, Soeren
We investigate the dynamical state of a new class of extended star clusters, known as "Faint Fuzzies", that were discovered in two nearby S0 galaxies, NGC 1023 and NGC 3384. It is shown that the...
