A Revised Velocity for the Globular Cluster GC-98 in the Ultra Diffuse Galaxy NGC1052-DF2

Published 12 Jun 2018 in astro-ph.GA | (1806.04685v2)

Abstract: We recently published velocity measurements of luminous globular clusters in the galaxy NGC1052-DF2, concluding that it lies far off the canonical stellar mass - halo mass relation. Here we present a revised velocity for one of the globular clusters, GC-98, and a revised velocity dispersion measurement for the galaxy. We find that the intrinsic dispersion $\sigma=5.6{+5.2}_{-3.8}$ km/s using Approximate Bayesian Computation, or $\sigma=7.8{+5.2}_{-2.2}$ km/s using the likelihood. The expected dispersion from the stars alone is ~7 km/s. Responding to a request from the Editors of ApJ Letters and RNAAS, we also briefly comment on the recent analysis of our measurements by Martin et al. (2018).
