A comparison of stellar populations in galaxy spheroids across a wide range of Hubble types
- R. Proctor, A. Sansom
- Physics
- 21 February 2002
We present line-strengths and kinematics from the central regions of 32 galaxies with Hubble types ranging from E to Sbc. Spectral indices, based on the Lick system, are measured in the optical and…
THE MASS-METALLICITY GRADIENT RELATION OF EARLY-TYPE GALAXIES*
- M. Spolaor, R. Proctor, D. Forbes, W. Couch
- Physics
- 5 January 2009
We present a newly observed relation between galaxy mass and radial metallicity gradients of early-type galaxies. Our sample of 51 early-type galaxies encompasses a comprehensive mass range from…
THE CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF MILKY WAY AND M31 GLOBULAR CLUSTERS. I. A COMPARATIVE STUDY
- M. Beasley, J. Brodie, J. Huchra
- Physics
- 1 May 2004
A comparative analysis is performed between high-quality integrated spectral indices of 30 M31 globular clusters, 20 Milky Way globular clusters, and a sample of field and cluster elliptical…
J-PAS: The Javalambre-Physics of the Accelerated Universe Astrophysical Survey
- N. Benı́tez, R. Dupke, L. Valdivielso
- Physics
- 20 March 2014
The Javalambre-Physics of the Accelerated Universe Astrophysical Survey (J-PAS) is a narrow band, very wide field Cosmological Survey to be carried out from the Javalambre Observatory in Spain with a…
Spatially resolved spectroscopy of early-type galaxies over a range in mass
- P. Sánchez-Blázquez, D. Forbes, Swinburne University Epfl Switzerland UCOLick
- Physics
- 21 February 2007
Long-slit spectra have been obtained with the Keck telescope for a sample of 11 early-type galaxies covering a wide range in luminosity and hence mass. Rotation velocity and velocity dispersions,…

Spatially resolved kinematics and stellar populations of brightest cluster and group galaxies
- S. Brough, R. Proctor, R. Mann
- Physics
- 24 April 2007
We present an examination of the kinematics and stellar populations of a sample of three brightest group galaxies (BGGs) and three brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in X-ray groups and clusters. We…
Ages and metallicities of Hickson compact group galaxies
- R. Proctor, D. Forbes, A. Terlevich
- Physics
- 8 January 2004
ABSTRACT Hickson Compact Groups (HCGs) constitute an interesting extreme in the range ofenvironments in which galaxies are located, as the space density of galaxies in thesesmall groups are otherwise…
