observations of star clusters in NGC 1023 : Evidence for three cluster populations ?
Using HST images we have carried out a study of cluster populations in the nearby S0 galaxy NGC 1023. In two WFPC2 pointings we have identified 221 cluster candidates. The small distance (∼ 9 Mpc) combined with deep F555W and F814W images allows us to reach about two magnitudes below the expected turn-over of the globular cluster luminosity function. NGC 1023 appears to contain at least three i...
متن کاملThe possible origin of the faint fuzzy star clusters in NGC 1023
In the lenticular galaxy NGC 1023 a new population of star clusters (" faint fuzzies ") was recently discovered by Larsen & Brodie. These clusters are found inside the disc and are faint (23 ≤ V ≤ 24 mag) and extended with effective radii of r eff ≈ 7 to 15 pc. We present here N-body calculations of a likely formation-scenario through merging star clusters in clusters of star clusters (super-cl...
متن کاملKeck spectroscopy of young and old star clusters in NGC 1023 1
We present Keck/LRIS spectra for 11 old globular clusters in the S0type galaxy NGC 1023 and 2 young blue clusters in the nearby companion NGC 1023A. Analysis of the spectra of 7 old clusters with sufficient S/N shows generally good agreement between spectroscopic and previous photometric metallicity estimates, but the integrated colors of two clusters are too blue for their spectroscopic metall...
متن کاملNuclear embedded star clusters in NGC 7582
We report on the discovery of several compact regions of mid-infrared emission in the starforming circum nuclear disk of the starburst/Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 7582. The compact sources do not have counterparts in the optical and near-infrared, suggesting that they are deeply embedded in dust. We use the [Ne ii]12.8μm line emission to estimate the emission measure of the ionized gas, which in turn ...
متن کاملDust and Super Star Clusters in NGC 5253
We present new observations of the famous starburst galaxy NGC 5253 which owes its celebrity to possibly being the youngest and closest starburst galaxy known. Our observations in the infrared and millimeter contribute to shed light on the properties of this interesting object. We have used our new data along with data from the literature to study the properties of the young stellar clusters pr...
