Evolutionary history of the elliptical galaxy NGC 1052
We have obtained Keck spectra for 16 globular clusters (GCs) associated with the merger remnant elliptical NGC 1052, as well as a long-slit spectrum of the...
Explaining the Mysterious Age Gap of Globular Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has a unique cluster formation history in that nearly all of its globular clusters were formed either ~13 Gyr ago or less than...
Extending the baseline: Spitzer mid-infrared photometry of globular cluster systems in the Centaurus A and Sombrero Galaxies
Spitzer IR Array Camera (IRAC) mid-infrared photometry is presented for the globular cluster (GC) systems of the NGC 5128 (`Centaurus A') and NGC 4594 (...
Extragalactic globular cluster near-infrared spectroscopy: I. Integrated near-infrared spectra of Centaurus A/NGC 5128
Context. One way to constrain the evolutionary histories of galaxies is to analyse their stellar populations. In the local Universe, our understanding of the...
Extragalactic globular cluster near-infrared spectroscopy: II. The stellar population synthesis model zero-point problem extends to the near-infrared
Many recent studies have pointed out significant discrepancies between observations and models of stellar populations in the near-infrared (NIR). With current...
Extragalactic Globular Clusters: Old Spectroscopic Ages and New Views on Their Formation
We present the results of a meta-analysis of Keck spectra of extragalactic globular clusters (GCs) in a sample of eight galaxies, ranging from dwarf galaxies to...
Filaments in Galactic Winds Driven by Young Stellar Clusters
The starburst galaxy M82 shows a system of Hα-emitting filaments that extend to each side of the galactic disk. We model these filaments as the result of the...
Five young star clusters in the outer region of the Small Magellanic Cloud
Colour-magnitude diagrams in the Washington system are presented for the first time for five star clusters projected on to the outer region of the Small...
Formation of Star Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud. I. Preliminary Results on Cluster Formation from Colliding Gas Clouds
We demonstrate that single and binary star clusters can be formed during cloud-cloud collisions triggered by the tidal interaction between the Large and Small...
