We present a study of the old globular clusters (GC) using archival F606W and F814W HST/ACS images of 19 Magellanic-type dwarf Irregular (dIrr) galaxies found in nearby (2 - 8 Mpc) associations of only dwarf galaxies. All dIrrs have…

We present radial velocity measurements for 74 globular clusters (GCs) in the nearby giant elliptical NGC 5128, of which 31 are newly discovered clusters. All the GC candidates were taken from the list of possible new clusters given in the…

We detect a tidal stream generated by the globular cluster NGC 3201 extending over ~140 degrees on the sky, using the Gaia DR2 data, with the maximum likelihood method we presented previously to study the M68 tidal stream. Most of the…

We have used the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 aboard the Hubble Space Telescope to image the compact star cluster nuclei of the nearby, late-type, low-luminosity spiral galaxies NGC 4395, NGC 4242, and ESO 359-029. We also analyze archival…

We report results from Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 imaging of the field of the luminous, bursting X-ray source in the globular cluster NGC 6441. Although the X-ray position is known to a precision of a few arcseconds, this source is only…

The northwest side of the disk of M31 is known to be the near side because of the differential reddening of globular clusters found from their photographic photometry. This paper reports a simple geometric model to evaluate the visibility…

We used the HST WFPC2 to obtain I-band images of the centers of 81 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), drawn from a volume-limited sample of nearby BCGs. The images show a rich variety of morphological features, including multiple or double…

We have obtained multi-object spectroscopy of H II regions in the spiral galaxy M51 with the Keck I telescope and the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer. For 10 objects we have detected the auroral line [N II] 5755, while [S III] 6312 has…

The determination of structural parameters of 11 faint Galactic globular clusters that, in most cases, had not been previously studied in this context. The clusters are IC1257, Lynga7, Terzan4, Terzan10, BH176, ESO452-SC11, ESO280-SC08,…

On the basis of the best available member list and duplicity information, we have studied the radial distribution of 270 stars and multiple systems earlier than K0 in the Pleiades. Five new long period spectroscopic binaries have been…

A comparative analysis is performed between high-quality integrated spectra of 30 globular clusters in M31, 20 Milky Way clusters, and a sample of field and cluster elliptical galaxies. We find that the Lick CN indices in the M31 and…

The peripheral regions of globular clusters (GCs) are extremely challenging to study due to their low surface brightness nature and the dominance of Milky Way contaminant populations along their sightlines. We have developed a probabilistic…

We present a study of globular clusters (GCs) in 17 relatively nearby early-type galaxies, based on deep HST/WFPC2 F555W and F814W images. We compare color distributions, cluster sizes and luminosity functions with those of GCs in the Milky…

We use two-band imaging data from the Advanced Camera for Surveys on board the Hubble Space Telescope for a detailed study of NGC1533, an SB0 galaxy in the Dorado group surrounded by a ring of HI. NGC1533 appears to be completing a…

This paper is the third in the series of papers on M81 globular clusters. In this paper, we present spatial and metal abundance properties of 95 M81 globular clusters, which comprise nearly half of all the M81 globular cluster system. These…

[abridged] We present a unified picture for the evolution of star clusters on the two-body relaxation timescale. We use direct N-body simulations of star clusters in a galactic tidal field starting from different multi-mass King models, up…

The ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) NGC1052-DF2 has captured the interest of astronomers ever since the low velocity dispersion measured from ten globular clusters (GCs) suggested a low dark matter fraction. Also, its GC system was found to be…

We examine the connection between diffuse ionised gas (DIG), HII regions, and field O and B stars in the nearby spiral M101 and its dwarf companion NGC 5474 using ultra-deep H$\alpha$ narrow-band imaging and archival GALEX UV imaging. We…

Recent studies of nearby globular clusters have discovered excess dark mass in their cores, apparently in an extended distribution, and simulations indicate that this mass is composed mostly of white dwarfs (respectively stellar-mass black…

At ~50 Mpc, the Hydra I cluster of galaxies is among the closest cluster in the z=0 Universe, and an ideal environment to study dwarf galaxy properties in a cluster environment. We exploit deep imaging data of the Hydra I cluster to…
