Abstract:
We have obtained spectroscopic redshifts of colour-selected point
sources in four wide area VLT-FLAMES (Very Large Telescope-Fibre Large
Array Multi Element Spectrograph) fields around the Fornax cluster
giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1399, identifying as cluster members 27
previously unknown faint (-10.5<Mg'←8.8) compact stellar systems
(CSS), and improving redshift accuracy for 23 previously catalogued
CSS.
Description:
Our observations over two nights in 2004 November at Cerro Paranal,
Chile, were made under European Southern Observatory (ESO) observing
programme 074.A-0508 with the FLAMES multifibre intermediate to
high-resolution spectroscopic system attached to the Nasmyth-A focus
of the 8-m Kueyen telescope.

Note (1): Type of cluster as follows:
1 = known Fornax cluster galaxies
2 = known Fornax cluster compact stellar systems (CSS)
3 = new Fornax cluster compact stellar systems (CSS)
Note (2): The stellarity index (SGC-r), derived by SExtractor from r' band
photometry (Karick, 2005, PhD thesis, Univ. Melbourne), compares the
target light profile to a point-spread function (0 = extended object;
1 = point source)
Note (3): Note on SGC-r as follows:
c = Photometry of these CSS has been affected by partial blending
with adjacent stars.
d = UCD3 is known to have an extended stellar halo (De Propris et al.
2005ApJ...623L.105D 2005ApJ...623L.105D), and may be eventually classified as a
dE,N galaxy (see full version of table).
e = Photometry of this CSS has been affected by blending with a
background galaxy
Note (4): 2dF revised velocity data are derived from Drinkwater et al.
(2000PASA...17..227D 2000PASA...17..227D) and Gregg (in preparation).
Note (5): FCOS data are from the Fornax Compact Object Survey (Mieske et
al., 2004, Cat. J/A+A/418/445). FCOS catalogue identifiers (as
sequenced in the table): 1-017, 2-0231, 2-078, 4-2028, 2-073, 0-2025,
3-2027, 1-2053, 1-060, 3-2004, 1-2083 and 3-2019.
Note (6): Bergond data are from VLT-FLAMES spectroscopy (Bergond et al.,
2006, Cat. J/A+A/448/155).
Note (7): Therefore, a ratio less than 1 implies they are gravitationally
bound.
Note (8): 'a' quotes CSS considered to be gravitationally bound to a
prominent cluster galaxy other than NGC 1399 - see analysis in
the text.
