The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XXIV. The Red Sequence to 10 L and Comparisons with Galaxy Formation Models

Joel C. Roediger, Laura Ferrarese, Patrick Côté +22

We use deep optical photometry from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey [NGVS] to investigate the color-magnitude diagram for the galaxies inhabiting the core of this cluster.…

The Evolution of Star Formation Activity in Cluster Galaxies Over

Cory R. Wagner, Stephane Courteau, Mark Brodwin +3

We explore 7.5 billion years of evolution in the star formation activity of massive () cluster galaxies using a sample of 25 clusters over $0.15<z<1…

The properties of the Malin 1 galaxy giant disk: A panchromatic view from the NGVS and GUViCS surveys

S. Boissier, A. Boselli, L. Ferrarese +9

Low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) represent a significant percentage of local galaxies but their formation and evolution remain elusive. They may hold crucial information for…

CHANG-ES VIII: Uncovering Hidden AGN Activity in Radio Polarization

Judith A. Irwin, Philip Schmidt, A. Damas-Segovia +12

We report on C-band (5 - 7 GHz) observations of the galaxy, NGC~2992, from the CHANG-ES sample. This galaxy displays an embedded nuclear double-lobed radio morphology within its sp…

Bayesian Mass Estimates of the Milky Way: including measurement uncertainties with hierarchical Bayes

Gwendolyn Eadie, Aaron Springford, William Harris

We present a hierarchical Bayesian method for estimating the total mass and mass profile of the Milky Way Galaxy. The new hierarchical Bayesian approach further improves the framew…

Simulating a slow bar in the low surface brightness galaxy UGC 628

Matthew H. Chequers, Kristine Spekkens, Lawrence M. Widrow +1

We present a disc-halo N-body model of the low surface brightness galaxy UGC 628, one of the few systems that harbours a "slow" bar with a ratio of corotation radius to bar length…

First results from the MADCASH Survey: A Faint Dwarf Galaxy Companion to the Low Mass Spiral Galaxy NGC 2403 at 3.2 Mpc

Jeffrey L. Carlin, David J. Sand, Paul Price +13

We report the discovery of the faintest known dwarf galaxy satellite of an LMC stellar-mass host beyond the Local Group, based on deep imaging with Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam. MADCAS…

Galactoseismology and the Local Density of Dark Matter

Nilanjan Banik, Lawrence M. Widrow, Scott Dodelson

We model vertical breathing mode perturbations in the Milky Way's stellar disc and study their effects on estimates of the local dark matter density, surface density, and vertical…

Galaxy pairs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey - XI. A new method for measuring the influence of the closest companion out to wide separations

David R. Patton, Farid D. Qamar, Sara L. Ellison +5

We describe a statistical approach for measuring the influence that a galaxy's closest companion has on the galaxy's properties out to arbitrarily wide separations. We begin by ide…

The frequency and properties of young tidal dwarf galaxies in nearby gas-rich groups

K. Lee-Waddell, K. Spekkens, P. Chandra +8

We present high-resolution Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) HI observations and deep Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) optical imaging of two galaxy groups: NGC 4725/47 a…

CHANG-ES VII: Magnetic outflows from the Virgo cluster galaxy NGC 4388

Ancor Damas-Segovia, Rainer Beck, Bernd Vollmer +8

We investigate the effects of ram pressure on the ordered magnetic field of a galaxy hosting a radio halo and strong nuclear outflows. New radio images in total and polarized inten…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XIII. The Luminosity and Mass Function of Galaxies in the Core of the Virgo Cluster and the Contribution from Disrupted Satellites

Laura Ferrarese, Patrick Cote, Ruben Sanchez-Janssen +21

We present measurements of the galaxy luminosity and stellar mass function in a 3.71 deg (0.3 Mpc) area in the core of the Virgo cluster, based on data from the Nex…

Magnetized galactic halos and velocity lags

Richard N. Henriksen, Judith A. Irwin

We present an analytic model of a magnetized galactic halo surrounding a Mestel gravitating disc. The magnetic field is taken to be in energy equipartition with the pressure domina…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. VII. The intrinsic shapes of low-luminosity galaxies in the core of the Virgo cluster, and a comparison with the Local Group

R. Sanchez-Janssen, L. Ferrarese, L. A. MacArthur +17

(Abridged) We investigate the intrinsic shapes of low-luminosity galaxies in the central 300 kpc of the Virgo cluster using deep imaging obtained as part of the NGVS. We build a sa…
