Evidence for the rapid formation of low mass early-type galaxies in dense environments
Yiqing Liu, Eric W. Peng, John Blakeslee +6
We explore the environmental dependence of star formation timescales in low mass galaxies using the [/Fe] abundance ratio as an evolutionary clock. We present integrated [/Fe…
Compact stellar systems in the polar ring galaxies NGC 4650A and NGC 3808B: Clues to polar disk formation
Yasna Ordenes-Briceño, Iskren Y. Georgiev, Thomas H. Puzia +2
Polar ring galaxies (PRGs) are composed of two kinematically distinct and nearly orthogonal components, a host galaxy (HG) and a polar ring/disk (PR). The HG usually contains an ol…
Unveiling a Rich System of Faint Dwarf Galaxies in the Next Generation Fornax Survey
Roberto P. Munoz, Paul Eigenthaler, Thomas H. Puzia +18
We report the discovery of 158 previously undetected dwarf galaxies in the Fornax cluster central regions using a deep coadded and -band image obtained with the DECam wid…
The Sensitivity of Harassment to Orbit: Mass Loss from Early-Type Dwarfs in Galaxy Clusters
Rory Smith, Ruben Sanchez-Janssen, Michael A. Beasley +11
We conduct a comprehensive numerical study of the orbital dependence of harassment on early-type dwarfs consisting of 168 different orbits within a realistic, Virgo-like cluster, v…
The Most Massive Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster
Chengze Liu, Eric W. Peng, Elisa Toloba +15
We report on the properties of the most massive ultra-compact dwarf galaxy (UCD) in the nearby Virgo Cluster of galaxies using imaging from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. X. Properties of Ultra-Compact Dwarfs in the M87, M49 and M60 Regions
Chengze Liu, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Cote +18
We use imaging from the Next Generation Virgo cluster Survey (NGVS) to present a comparative study of ultra-compact dwarf (UCD) galaxies associated with three prominent Virgo sub-c…
