Chemodynamics of compact stellar systems in ngc 5128: how similar are globular clusters, ultra-compact dwarfs, and dwarf galaxies? ?
Matthew A. Taylor,Thomas H. Puzia,Gretchen L. H. Harris,William E. Harris,Markus Kissler-Patig,Michael Hilker +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, velocity dispersion measurements are presented for several of the most luminous globular clusters (GCs) in NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) derived from high-resolution spectra obtained with the UVES echelle spectrograph on the 8.2m ESO/Very Large Telescope.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present MASSIV (Mass Assembly Survey with SINFONI in VVDS), an on-going survey with VLT/SINFoni aiming to probe the kinematics and chemical abundances of a unique sample of 84 star-forming galaxies selected in the redshift range z ~ 1−2.
Dynamics of the NGC 4636 globular cluster system - An extremely dark matter dominated galaxy?
Y. Schuberth,Y. Schuberth,Thomas Richtler,Boris Dirsch,Michael Hilker,S. S. Larsen,Markus Kissler-Patig,Ulrich Mebold +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the first dynamical study of the globular cluster s ystem of NGC 4636, which is the southernmost giant elliptical galaxy of the Virgo cluster, according to X-ray observations.

Delabre,Rob Donaldson,Michel Duchateau,Simone Esposito,Enrico Fedrigo,Daniele Gallieni,Wolfgang Hackenberg,Norbert Hubin,M. Kasper,Markus Kissler-Patig,M. Le Louarn,Richard M.

TL;DR: The Adaptive Optics Facility is a project to convert one VLT-UT into a specialized Adaptive Telescope as discussed by the authors, where the present M2 will be replaced by a new M2-Unit hosting a 1170 actuators deformable mirror.
Five new post-main-sequence debris disks with gaseous emission
Erik Dennihy,Siyi Xu,Samuel Lai,Amy Bonsor,J. C. Clemens,Patrick Dufour,Boris T. Gänsicke,Nicola Pietro Gentile Fusillo,François Hardy,R. J. Hegedus,J. J. Hermes,B. C. Kaiser,Markus Kissler-Patig,Beth Klein,Christopher J. Manser,Joshua S. Reding +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the discovery of five new debris disks around white dwarf stars with gaseous debris in emission, which can be used to trace planetary activity across a wide range of stellar types.
