Newly Discovered Globular Clusters in the Outer Halo of M31
We present nine newly discovered globular clusters in the outer halo of M31, found by a semi-automated procedure from an INT Wide Field Camera survey of the region. The sample includes a candidate at the largest known projected galactocentric radius yet from M31.
متن کاملScaling relations in dynamical evolution of star clusters
We have carried out a series of small scale collisional N-body calculations of single-mass star clusters to investigate the dependence of the lifetime of star clusters on their initial parameters. Our models move through an external galaxy potential with a logarithmic density profile and they are limited by a cut-off radius. In order to find scaling relations between the lifetime of star cluste...
متن کاملGlobular clusters and the formation of the outer Galactic halo
Globular clusters in the outer halo (Rgc > 15 kpc) are found to be systematically fainter than those at smaller Galactocentric distances. Within the outer halo the compact clusters with halflight radii Rh < 10 pc are only found at Rgc < 40 kpc, while on the other hand the larger clusters with Rh > 10 pc are encountered at all Galactocentric distances. Among the compact clusters with Rh < 10 pc ...
متن کاملFrom nuclear clusters to halo globulars: Star clusters as basic galactic building blocks
I assess the similarities and differences between the star-formation modes in quiescent spiral galaxies versus those in violent starburst regions, including galactic nuclei. As opposed to the quiescent star-formation mode, current empirical evidence on the star-formation processes in the extreme, high-pressure environments induced by galaxy encounters strongly suggests that star cluster formati...
متن کاملStar Formation in the Extreme Outer Galaxy: Digel Cloud 2 Clusters
As a first step for studying star formation in the extreme outer Galaxy (EOG), we obtained deep near-infrared (J,H,K-bands) images of two embedded clusters at the northern and southern CO peaks of Cloud 2, which is one of the most distant star forming regions in the outer Galaxy (galactic radius Rg ∼ 19 kpc). With high spatial resolution (FWHM ∼ 0. 3–0. 35) and deep imaging (K ∼ 21 mag, 5 σ) wi...
