The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G): Precise Stellar Mass Distributions from Automated Dust Correction at 3.6 μm

TL;DR: In this article, Meidt et al. used Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to reveal the old stellar flux at 3.6μm and obtain stellar mass maps for more than 1600 galaxies available from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S^4G).
Journal ArticleDOI

The ubiquity and dual nature of ultra‐compact dwarfs

TL;DR: In this paper, the discovery of several Ultra Compact Dwarfs (UCDs) around the group elliptical NGC3923 (and most UCDs in general) have properties consistent with their being the most luminous members of the host galaxy's globular cluster (GC) system.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel look at energy equipartition in globular clusters

TL;DR: In this paper, the stellar mass dependence of the velocity dispersion σ(m) can be described by an exponential function σ 2 ∝ exp(−m/meq), with the parameter σ 1 −m −meq quantifying the degree of partial energy equipartition of the systems.
