Compact stellar systems around NGC 1399. (2007)

Keywords : galaxies clusters: individual: Fornax cluster - galaxies: distances and redshifts - galaxies: individual: NGC 1399 - galaxies: kinematics and dynamics - galaxies: star clusters

Abstract:We have obtained spectroscopic redshifts of colour-selected point sources in four wide area VLT-FLAMES (Very Large Telescope-Fibre Large Array Multi Element Spectrograph) fields around the Fornax cluster giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1399, identifying as cluster members 27 previously unknown faint (-10.5<M_g'_<-8.8) compact stellar systems (CSS), and improving redshift accuracy for 23 previously catalogued CSS. ...(more)
Abstract: (hide)
Our observations over two nights in 2004 November at Cerro Paranal, Chile, were made under European Southern Observatory (ESO) observing programme 074.A-0508 with the FLAMES multifibre intermediate to high-resolution spectroscopic system attached to the Nasmyth-A focus of the 8-m Kueyen telescope.
