The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey II. Data Reduction Procedures
Andres Jordan, John P. Blakeslee, Eric W. Peng +7
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey is a large program to carry out multi-color imaging of 100 early-type members of the Virgo Cluster using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the H…
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey III. Chandra and HST Observations of Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries and Globular Clusters in M87
Andres Jordan, Patrick Cote, Laura Ferrarese +7
The ACIS instrument on board the Chandra X-ray Observatory has been used to carry out the first systematic study of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in M87. We identify 174 X-ray po…
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. I. Introduction to the Survey
Patrick Cote, John P. Blakeslee, Laura Ferrarese +7
The Virgo Cluster is the dominant mass concentration in the Local Supercluster and the largest collection of elliptical and lenticular galaxies in the nearby universe. In this pape…
X-ray and Optical Filaments in M87
William B. Sparks, Megan Donahue, Andres Jordan +2
We compare a very deep X-ray image of M87, at the center of the Virgo Cluster, to high-quality optical images of the low excitation emission-line gas in the same region. There are…
Reconstructing Galaxy Histories from Globular Clusters
Michael J. West, Patrick Cote, Ronald O. Marzke +1
Nearly a century after the true nature of galaxies as distant "island universes" was established, their origin and evolution remain great unsolved problems of modern astrophysics.…
