Ultra-compact dwarf galaxies: a new component of galaxy clusters and groups
We recently reported the discovery of a new galaxy type, ultra-compact dwarf (UCD) galaxies, in both the Fornax and Virgo clusters. Here we present new detections of a larger population of UCDs in the Fornax Cluster, as well as the first detections of UCDs in two galaxy groups. We extended our origi...

| description | We recently reported the discovery of a new galaxy type, ultra-compact dwarf (UCD) galaxies, in both the Fornax and Virgo clusters. Here we present new detections of a larger population of UCDs in the Fornax Cluster, as well as the first detections of UCDs in two galaxy groups. We extended our original survey of the Fornax Cluster 1 magnitude fainter, finding a further 46 new compact objects. This means that UCDs outnumber normal galaxies in the central region of the Fornax Cluster. We used this large UCD sample to test the tidal stripping model: simulations indicate that only about half of the UCD population may have formed by disruption of the observed population of nucleated dwarf galaxies. As the UCDs are strongly clustered towards the cluster centre, we conclude that the remaining UCDs must be associated with the much earlier assembly of the central galaxy. |
