The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). II. A Catalog of Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
Laura Ferrarese, Patrick Cote, Lauren A. MacArthur +51
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) is a deep, high resolution imaging campaign that used the 1 deg MegaCam instrument on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to carr…
Euclid: Calibrating distances from surface brightness fluctuations with Early Release Observations of the Fornax cluster
R. Habas, M. Cantiello, G. Riccio +169
Surface brightness fluctuations (SBF), the pixel-to-pixel variations in flux that arise from the statistical distribution of stars in galaxy images, provide a powerful tool to meas…
The MASSIVE SURVEY XXI: Local Variations in the Stellar Initial Mass Function of MASSIVE Early-Type Galaxies
Meng Gu, Jenny E. Greene, Andrew B. Newman +2
Extensive evidence suggests that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) varies among early-type galaxies (ETGs), but spatially resolved studies within individual galaxies are limi…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XL. The Morphological Classification of Virgo Cluster Galaxies
Max M. Kurzner, Patrick Côté, Laura Ferrarese +19
We present a study of morphologies, based on deep imaging of the Virgo Cluster from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS), for 3689…
A Supermassive Black Hole in a Diminutive Ultra-compact Dwarf Galaxy Discovered with JWST/NIRSpec+IFU
Matthew A. Taylor, Behzad Tahmasebzadeh, Solveig Thompson +18
The integral-field unit mode of the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec+IFU) mounted on the James Webb Space Telescope has now enabled kinematic studies of smaller and less massive…
A JWST View of the Overmassive Black Hole in NGC 4486B
Behzad Tahmasebzadeh, Matthew A. Taylor, Monica Valluri +19
We present a new stellar dynamical measurement of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the compact elliptical galaxy NGC 4486B, based on integral field spectroscopy with JWST/NIRS…
