Bayesian Redshift Classification of Emission-line Galaxies with Photometric Equivalent Widths
Andrew S. Leung, Viviana Acquaviva, Eric Gawiser +13
We present a Bayesian approach to the redshift classification of emission-line galaxies when only a single emission line is detected spectroscopically. We consider the case of surv…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. X. Properties of Ultra-Compact Dwarfs in the M87, M49 and M60 Regions
Chengze Liu, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Cote +18
We use imaging from the Next Generation Virgo cluster Survey (NGVS) to present a comparative study of ultra-compact dwarf (UCD) galaxies associated with three prominent Virgo sub-c…
Galaxies at the extremes: Ultra-diffuse galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
Chris Mihos, Patrick R. Durrell, Laura Ferrarese +7
We report the discovery of three large (R29 >~ 1 arcminute) extremely low surface brightness (mu_(V,0) ~ 27.0) galaxies identified using our deep, wide-field imaging of the Virgo C…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. IX. Estimating the Efficiency of Galaxy Formation on the Lowest-Mass Scales
Jonathan Grossauer, James E. Taylor, Laura Ferrarese +11
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey has recently determined the luminosity function of galaxies in the core of the Virgo cluster down to unprecedented magnitude and surface br…
A Comprehensive HST BVI Catalogue Of Star Clusters In Five Hickson Compact Groups Of Galaxies
K. Fedotov, S. C. Gallagher, P. R. Durrell +5
We present a photometric catalogue of star cluster candidates in Hickson compact groups (HCGs) 7, 31, 42, 59, and 92, based on observations with the Advanced Camera for Surveys and…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. VI. The Kinematics of Ultra-compact Dwarfs and Globular Clusters in M87
Hong-Xin Zhang, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Cote +19
The origin of ultra-compact dwarfs (UCDs)--objects larger and more massive than typical globular clusters (GCs), but more compact than typical dwarf galaxies--has been hotly debate…
