The Globular Cluster Systems in the Coma Ellipticals. IV: WFPC2 Photometry for Five Giant Ellipticals
W. E. Harris, J. J. Kavelaars, D. A. Hanes +2
We analyze photometric data in V and I for the globular cluster (GC) systems in five of the giant ellipticals in the Coma Cluster: NGC 4874, 4881, 4889, 4926, and IC 4051. We find…
A Search for sub-km KBOs with the Method of Serendipitous Stellar Occultations
S. J. Bickerton, J. J. Kavelaars, D. L. Welch
The results of a search for sub-km Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) with the method of serendipitous stellar occultations are reported. Photometric time series were obtained on the 1.8m…
An Unbiased Survey of 500 Nearby Stars for Debris Disks: A JCMT Legacy Program
B. C. Matthews, J. S. Greaves, W. S. Holland +28
We present the scientific motivation and observing plan for an upcoming detection survey for debris disks using the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. The SCUBA-2 Unbiased Nearby Stars…
The Faint End of the Luminosity Function in the Core of the Coma Cluster
M. L. Milne, C. J. Pritchet, G. B. Poole +4
We present optical measurements of the faint end of the luminosity function in the core of the Coma cluster. Dwarf galaxies are detected down to a limiting magnitude of R approx. 2…
Discovery of a low-eccentricity, high-inclination Kuiper belt object at 58 AU
R. L. Allen, B. Gladman, J. J. Kavelaars +3
We report the discovery of the first trans-neptunian object, designated 2004 XR190, with a nearly-cirular orbit beyond the 2:1 mean-motion resonance. Fitting an orbit to 23 astrome…
Globular Cluster Systems in Brightest Cluster Galaxies: Bimodal Metallicity Distributions and the Nature of the High-Luminosity Clusters
W. E. Harris, B. C. Whitmore, D. Karakla +4
We present new (B,I) photometry for the globular cluster systems in eight Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs), obtained with the ACS/WFC camera on the Hubble Space Telescope. In the…
