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…
Dwarf galaxies in the MATLAS Survey: Hubble Space Telescope observations of nuclear star clusters
Mélina Poulain, Francine R. Marleau, Pierre-Alain Duc +8
In dwarf galaxies, nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are believed to primarily form from the migration and merger of globular clusters (GCs), with a possible contribution from in-situ s…
Low Surface Brightness structures from annotated deep CFHT images: effects of the host galaxy's properties and environment
Elisabeth Sola, Pierre-Alain Duc, Mathias Urbano +20
Hierarchical galactic evolution models predict that mergers drive galaxy growth, producing low surface brightness (LSB) tidal features that trace galaxies' late assembly. These fai…
Evidence of star cluster migration and merger in dwarf galaxies
Mélina Poulain, Rory Smith, Pierre-Alain Duc +8
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are the densest stellar systems in the Universe. They can be found at the center of all galaxy types, but tend to favor galaxies of intermediate stella…
Pearls on a string: Dark and bright galaxies on a strikingly straight and narrow filament
Maryam Arabsalmani, Sambit Roychowdhury, Benjamin Schneider +11
We identify a chain of galaxies along an almost straight line in the nearby Universe with a projected length of ~5 Mpc. The galaxies are distributed within projected distances of o…
