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…
The abundance and radial distribution of faint and ultra-faint dwarfs in galaxy clusters
Pradyumna Sadhu, Laura V. Sales, Julio F. Navarro +3
Cosmological simulations of galaxy clusters are unable to resolve dwarf galaxies due to limited numerical resolution which drives the artificial disruption of dark matter substruct…
JWST Observations of the Double Nucleus in NGC 4486B: Possible Evidence for a Recent Binary SMBH Merger and Recoil
Behzad Tahmasebzadeh, Monica Valluri, Shashank Dattathri +19
A recent study of the compact elliptical galaxy NGC 4486B using JWST-NIRSpec IFU kinematics confirmed a supermassive black hole (SMBH) of mass (~8% of…
AVID: A Near-Major Post-Merger of Late-Type Dwarfs beneath a Regularly Rotating HI Disk (VCC 693)
Fujia Li, Hong-Xin Zhang, Elias Brinks +23
On the periphery of galaxy clusters, moderately high galaxy densities and velocity dispersions favour interactions and mergers that influence galaxy evolution prior to cluster infa…
KMT-2025-BLG-1616Lb: First Microlensing Bound Planet From DREAMS
Hongjing Yang, Weicheng Zang, Yoon-Hyun Ryu +60
We present observations and analysis of the bound planetary microlensing event KMT-2025-BLG-1616. The planetary signal was captured by the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMT…
Kinematics of Distant Milky Way Halo RR Lyrae Stars out to 160 kpc
Yuting Feng, Puragra Guhathakurta, Eric W. Peng +4
We present a kinematical study of the outer halo (r_GC approximately 60 to 160 kpc) of the Milky Way based on spectroscopy of 55 RR Lyrae stars obtained with the ESI instrument on…
