FCOS Ultra Compact Dwarf galaxies radial vel.

Description

The relation between the Ultra Compact Dwarf galaxies (hereafter UCDs) recently discovered in the Fornax cluster (Drinkwater et al., 2003Natur.423..519D; Mieske et al., 2002, Cat. <J/A+A/383/823>) and the brightest globular clusters associated with the central galaxy NGC 1399 has been investigated in the spectroscopic Fornax Compact Object Survey FCOS. FCOS was carried out with the 2.5m du Pont telescope at Las Campanas, in the three nights of 2002/12/04 to 2002/12/06.

Mieske et al. (2002, Cat. <J/A+A/383/823>) deals with the first part FCOS-1, this paper deals with the larger FCOS-2. The spectral resolution of FCOS was approx. 4{AA}. In the FCOS, 280 unresolved objects with 0<(V-I)<1.5mag in the magnitude space covering UCDs and bright globular clusters (18<V<21mag) were observed spectroscopically, among them 185 in FCOS-2.

In the entire FCOS-sample there are five already known UCDs and 54 new Fornax members, 12 from FCOS-1 and 42 from FCOS-2.
