The ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) NGC 1052-DF2 has captured the interest of astronomers ever since the low velocity dispersion measured from ten globular clusters...
SDSS J103913.70+533029.7: A Super Star Cluster in the Outskirts of a Galaxy Merger
We describe the serendipitous discovery in the spectroscopic data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey of a starlike object, SDSS J103913.70+533029.7, at a...
Seven young star clusters in the inner region of the Small Magellanic Cloud
We present CCD photometry in the Washington system C and T1 passbands down to T1 ~ 22 in the fields of L35, L45, L49, L50, L62, L63 and L85, seven poorly...
Shapes and correlations as observational discriminants for the origin of diffuse bands
The authors have measured the intensities of several diffuse interstellar bands in intermediate resolution spectra (0.35 - 0.65 Å) of heavily reddened early...
Signature of spin-down stalling in stellar magnetic activity: The case of the open cluster NGC 6811
Context. Stellar rotation and magnetic activity have a complex evolution that reveals multiple regimes. One of the related transitions that is seen in the...
Simultaneous modelling of the stellar halo and globular cluster system of NGC 5128
An important test for models of galaxy formation lies in the metallicity distribution functions (MDFs) of spheroid stars and their globular clusters (GCs). We...
Spectroscopy of globular cluster candidates in the Sculptor group galaxies NGC 253 and 55
We have obtained spectra for 103 published globular cluster candidates in the Sculptor group galaxies NGC 253 and 55. On the basis of radial velocities and...
Spectroscopy of Globular Clusters in the Fornax Dwarf Galaxy
We present low-resolution, integrated Keck spectra of the five globular clusters (GCs) of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We find a tentative age spread...
Star cluster catalogues for the LEGUS dwarf galaxies
We present the star cluster catalogues for 17 dwarf and irregular galaxies in the HST Treasury Program `Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey' (LEGUS). Cluster...
