The Globular Cluster System of the Virgo Cluster Ultradiffuse Galaxy VCC 615
J. Christopher Mihos, Patrick R. Durrell, Elisa Toloba +5
We use Hubble Space Telescope imaging to study the globular cluster system of the Virgo Cluster ultradiffuse galaxy (UDG) VCC 615. We select globular cluster candidates through a c…
The Spatial Distribution of Globular Cluster Systems in Early Type Galaxies: Estimation Procedure and Catalog of Properties for Globular Cluster Systems Observed with Deep Imaging Surveys
Sungsoon Lim, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Côté +18
We present an analysis of the spatial distribution of globular cluster (GC) systems of 118 nearby early-type galaxies in the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) and Mass As…
Dwarf Galaxies in the MATLAS Survey: The satellite system of NGC474 under scrutiny with MUSE
Oliver Müller, Francine R. Marleau, Nick Heesters +12
A recent study of the distribution of dwarf galaxies in the MATLAS sample in galaxy groups revealed an excess of flattened satellite structures, reminiscent of the co-rotating plan…
The PIPER Survey. II. The Globular Cluster Systems of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies in the Perseus Cluster
Steven R. Janssens, Duncan A. Forbes, Aaron J. Romanowsky +7
We present Hubble Space Telescope ACS/WFC and WFC3/UVIS imaging for a sample of 50 low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies in the 10 M Perseus cluster, which w…
Dwarf Galaxies in the MATLAS Survey: Hubble Space Telescope Observations of the Globular Cluster Systems of 74 Ultra Diffuse Galaxies
Francine R. Marleau, Pierre-Alain Duc, Melina Poulain +7
Ultra diffuse galaxies, characterized by their low surface brightness and large physical size, constitute a subclass of dwarf galaxies that challenge our current understanding of g…
