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 Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XL. The Morphological Classification of Virgo Cluster Galaxies

Max M. Kurzner, Patrick Côté, Laura Ferrarese +19

We present a study of morphologies, based on deep imaging of the Virgo Cluster from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS), for 3689…

Unveiling the nature and fate of the almost-dark cloud AGC 226178 through HI mapping

Yu-Zhu Sun, Hong-Xin Zhang, Elias Brinks +18

The origin of extragalactic, almost dark HI clouds with extreme gas-to-stellar mass ratios remains poorly understood. We investigate the nature and fate of the "almost dark" cloud…

AVID: Formation and evolution of a coalesced major merger of late-type dwarf galaxies (VCC 479) on the outskirts of the Virgo cluster

Weibin Sun, Hong-Xin Zhang, Rory Smith +24

Dwarf-dwarf galaxy mergers are among the least explored aspects of dwarf galaxy pre-processing as they fall into clusters. We present the first case study of a coalesced late-type…

A JWST View of the Overmassive Black Hole in NGC 4486B

Behzad Tahmasebzadeh, Matthew A. Taylor, Monica Valluri +19

We present a new stellar dynamical measurement of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the compact elliptical galaxy NGC 4486B, based on integral field spectroscopy with JWST/NIRS…

A Supermassive Black Hole in a Diminutive Ultra-compact Dwarf Galaxy Discovered with JWST/NIRSpec+IFU

Matthew A. Taylor, Behzad Tahmasebzadeh, Solveig Thompson +18

The integral-field unit mode of the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec+IFU) mounted on the James Webb Space Telescope has now enabled kinematic studies of smaller and less massive…

An evolutionary continuum from nucleated dwarf galaxies to star clusters

Kaixiang Wang, Eric W. Peng, Chengze Liu +21

Systematic studies have revealed hundreds of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in the nearby Universe. With half-light radii of approximately 10-100 parsecs and stellar mas…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XXXV. First Kinematical Clues of Overly-Massive Dark Matter Halos in Several Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster

Elisa Toloba, Laura V. Sales, Sungsoon Lim +8

We present Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy of the first complete sample of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the Virgo cluster. We select all UDGs in Virgo that contain at least 10 globula…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XXX. Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies and their Globular Cluster Systems

Sungsoon Lim, Patrick Côté, Eric W. Peng +14

We present a study of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the Virgo Cluster based on deep imaging from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). Applying a new definition for t…
