A Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission (VESTIGE). II. Constraining the quenching time in the stripped galaxy NGC 4330
M. Fossati, J. T. Mendel, A. Boselli +24
The Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission (VESTIGE) is a blind narrow-band H+[NII] imaging survey carried out with MegaCam at the CFHT. During pilot observati…
Flattened structures of dwarf satellites around massive host galaxies in the MATLAS low-to-moderate density fields
N. Heesters, R. Habas, F. R. Marleau +6
It was first observed in the 1970s that the dwarf galaxies surrounding our Milky Way, so-called satellites, appear to be arranged in a thin, vast plane. Similar discoveries have be…
The Beginning of the End: Hubble Space Telescope Images of Seyfert's Sextet
C. Palma, S. Zonak, S. Hunsberger +4
Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 images of Hickson Compact Group 79, Seyfert's Sextet, are presented. Both point sources and extended sources detected on the th…
Spectacular tails of ionised gas in the Virgo cluster galaxy NGC 4569
A. Boselli, J. C. Cuillandre, M. Fossati +14
We obtained using MegaCam at the CFHT a deep narrow band Halpha+[NII] wide field image of NGC 4569, the brightest late-type galaxy in the Virgo cluster. The image reveals the prese…
A Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission (VESTIGE).III. Star formation in the stripped gas of NGC 4254
A. Boselli, M. Fossati, J. C. Cuillandre +22
During pilot observations of the Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Galaxy Evolution (VESTIGE), a blind narrow-band Halpha+[NII] imaging survey of the Virgo cluster carried out wit…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. XXIII. Fundamentals of nuclear star clusters over seven decades in galaxy mass
R. Sánchez-Janssen, P. Côté, L. Ferrarese +25
Using deep, high resolution optical imaging from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey we study the properties of nuclear star clusters (NSCs) in a sample of nearly 400 quiescen…
