A Search for M32-like Galaxies in the Fornax Cluster using Flair
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Results of a spectroscopic search for M32-like compact elliptical galaxies in the Fornax cluster are presented. None were found, which suggests that these objects represent the low luminosity end of the giant elliptical luminosity function, rather than being formed by tidal stripping. The sample is used to investigate the large-scale distribution of bright ellipticals.
