The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. XXXIV. Ultra-Compact Dwarf (UCD) Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
Chengze Liu, Patrick Côté, Eric W. Peng +26
We present a study of ultra compact dwarf (UCD) galaxies in the Virgo cluster based mainly on imaging from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). Using 100 deg$^{2}…
New Constraints on a complex relation between globular cluster colors and environment
Mathieu Powalka, Thomas H. Puzia, Ariane Lançon +25
We present an analysis of high-quality photometry for globular clusters (GCs) in the Virgo cluster core region, based on data from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) p…
A Tale of Two Tails: Exploring Stellar Populations in the Tidal Tails of NGC 3256
Michael Rodruck, Iraklis Konstantopoulos, Karen Knierman +7
We have developed an observing program using deep, multiband imaging to probe the chaotic regions of tidal tails in search of an underlying stellar population, using NGC 3256's 400…
Stripped gas as fuel for newly formed HII regions in the encounter between VCC1249 and M49: a unified picture from NGVS and GUViCS
Fabrizio Arrigoni Battaia, Giuseppe Gavazzi, Michele Fumagalli +15
Context: We study the peculiar interacting galaxy system of VCC1249/M49 located in the core of the Virgo B subcluster. Owing to a recent interaction between the dwarf galaxy VCC124…
A deep view on the Virgo cluster core
Stefan Lieder, Thorsten Lisker, Michael Hilker +2
In this study we investigate the optical photometric properties of early-type galaxies in the Virgo cluster core region, by analysing their location on the colour magnitude relatio…
Intracluster Planetary Nebulae in the Virgo Cluster III: Luminosity of the Intracluster Light and Tests of the Spatial Distribution
John Feldmeier, Robin Ciardullo, George Jacoby +1
Intracluster planetary nebulae are a useful tracer of the evolution of galaxies and galaxy clusters. We analyze our catalog of 318 intracluster planetary nebulae candidates found i…
