The Fornax Deep Survey with the VST. IX. The catalog of sources in the FDS area, with an example study for globular clusters and background galaxies. (2020)

Keywords : galaxies elliptical and lenticular, cD - galaxies: star clusters: general - galaxies: individual: NGC 1316, NGC 1399 - galaxies: clusters: individual: Fornax - galaxies: evolution - galaxies: stellar content

Abstract:A possible pathway for understanding the events and the mechanisms involved in galaxy formation and evolution is an in-depth comprehension of the galactic and inter-galactic fossil sub-structures with long dynamical times-scales: stars in the field and in stellar clusters. This paper continues the series of the Fornax Deep Survey (FDS). Following the previous studies dedicated to extended Fornax cluster members, in this paper we present the catalogs of compact stellar systems in the Fornax cluster as well as extended background sources and point-like sources. ...(more)

Astronomy and Astrophysics policies
We derive ugri photometry of ~1.7 million sources over the ~21 square degree area of the Fornax Deep Survey (FDS) centered on the bright galaxy NGC1399 (fds.dat). For a wider area, of ~27 square degrees extending in the direction of NGC1316, we provide gri photometry for ~3.1 million sources (fdsex.dat). The identification of compact sources, globular clusters (GC) and ultra compact dwarf galaxies (UCD), is obtained from a combination of photometric and morphometric selection criteria taking as reference the properties of confirmed GCs and UCDs in the literature. The master tables of GC and UCD are also provided.
