Ultra-Compact Dwarf (UCD) galaxies in the Antlia cluster

Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics 2009-12-11 v1

Abstract

We present preliminary results of the search for Ultra-compact dwarf galaxies in the central region of the Antlia cluster. This new kind of stellar system has brightness, mass and size between those observed in globular clusters and early-type dwarf galaxies, but their origin is not well understood yet.
