Pulsating red giant and supergiant stars in the Local Group dwarf galaxy Andromeda I
We have conducted an optical long-term monitoring survey of the majority of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group, with the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), to identify the long period variable (LPV) stars. LPV stars vary on timescales of months to years, and reach the largest amplitudes of their brightness variations at optical wavelengths, due to the changing temperature. They trace stellar populati...
متن کاملThe Globular Cluster System of the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy
Prompted by the discovery of the accreted Canis Major dwarf galaxy and its associated globular cluster (GC) system (Martin et al.), we investigate the contribution of accreted GCs to the Galactic system. The Canis Major GCs, and those associated with the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy, exhibit a range of galactocentric radii, prograde and retro-grade motions, and horizontal branch morphologies, indic...
متن کاملGlobular Cluster Systems in the Hydra I Galaxy Cluster
In this contribution, first results of deep VLT photometry (V,I) in the central region of the Hydra I galaxy cluster are presented. Many star clusters have been identified not only around several earlytype galaxies, but also in the intra-cluster field, as far as 250 kpc from the cluster center. Outside the bulges of the central galaxies NGC 3311 and NGC 3309, the intra-cluster globular cluster ...
متن کاملFe b 20 03 Substructure in the Andromeda Galaxy Globular Cluster System
In the most prominent current scenario of galaxy formation, galaxies form hierarchically through the merger of smaller systems. Such mergers could leave behind dynamical signatures which may linger long after the event. In particular, the globular cluster system (GCS) of a merging satellite galaxy may remain as a distinct sub-population within the GCS of a massive galaxy. Using the latest avail...
متن کاملThe dwarf LSB galaxy population of the Virgo Cluster I . The faint - end slope of the Luminosity Function
The widely varying dwarf galaxy counts in different environments provide a strong challenge to standard hierarchical clustering models. The luminosity function is not universal, but seems to be strongly dependent upon environment. In this paper we describe an automated procedure for detecting and measuring very low surface brightness (LSB) features in deep CCD data. We apply this procedure to l...
