The Nature of Faint Fuzzies from the Kinematics of NGC1023
  Faint fuzzies are metal-rich apparently-old star clusters with unusually
large radii (7-15 pc), found mostly in S0 galaxies, whose source remain
obscure. To identify their origins, we compare planetary nebulae and neutral
hydrogen with faint fuzzy positions and line-of-sight velocities in NGC1023. In
this way, we rule out scenarios in which these objects are associated with an
on-going merger or with a spheroid population in NGC1023. Their kinematics are
indistinguishable from the stellar disk population in this galaxy, and we
conclude that faint fuzzies are most likely just remnant open clusters. Their
observed association with S0s then simply reflects the difficulty of
identifying such objects in later-type disk galaxies.
