A Potential Galaxy Threshing System in the Cosmos Field
We report on the discovery of a new potential galaxy threshing system in the COSMOS 2 square degree field using the prime-focus camera, Suprime-Cam, on the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope. This system consists of a giant elliptical galaxy withMV 21:6 and a tidally disrupted satellite galaxy withMV 17:7 at a photometric redshift of z 0:08. This redshift is consistent with the spectroscopic redshift of 0....

We report on the discovery of a new potential galaxy threshing system in the COSMOS 2 square degree field using the prime-focus camera, Suprime-Cam, on the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope. This system consists of a giant elliptical galaxy with MV ≈ −21.6 and a tidally disrupted satellite galaxy with MV ≈ −17.7 at Based on data collected at Subaru Telescope, which is operated by the National Astronomical...
متن کاملGalaxy Threshing and Ultra-Compact Dwarfs in the Fornax Cluster
We have discovered a new type of galaxy in the Fornax Cluster: “ultracompact” dwarfs (UCDs). The UCDs are unresolved in ground-based imaging and have spectra typical of old stellar systems. Although the UCDs resemble overgrown globular clusters, based on VLT UVES echelle spectroscopy, they appear to be dynamically distinct systems with higher internal velocity dispersions and M/L ratios for a g...
متن کاملA deep i - selected multi - waveband galaxy catalogue in the COSMOS field †
In this paper we present a deep and homogeneous i-band selected multi-waveband catalogue in the COSMOS field covering an area of about 0.7⊓⊔◦. Our catalogue with a formal 50% completeness limit for point sources of i ∼ 26.7 comprises about 290 000 galaxies with information in 8 passbands. We combine publicly available u, B, V, r, i, z, and K data with proprietary imaging in H band. We discuss i...
متن کاملGalaxy threshing and the formation of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies
Recent spectroscopic and morphological observational studies of galaxies around NGC 1399 in the Fornax Cluster (Drinkwater et al. 2000b) have discovered several ‘ultra-compact dwarf’ galaxies with intrinsic sizes of ∼ 100 pc and absolute B band magnitudes ranging from −13 to −11 mag. In order to elucidate the origin of these enigmatic objects, we perform numerical simulations on the dynamical e...
