The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey XV. The Formation Efficiencies of Globular Clusters in Early-Type Galaxies: The Effects of Mass and Environment
Eric W. Peng, Andres Jordan, Patrick Cote +8
The fraction of stellar mass contained in globular clusters (GCs), also measured by number as the specific frequency, is a fundamental quantity that reflects both a galaxy's early…
Trends in the Globular Cluster Luminosity Function of Early-Type Galaxies
Andres Jordan, Dean E. McLaughlin, Patrick Cote +8
We present results from a study of the globular cluster luminosity function (GCLF) in a sample of 89 early-type galaxies observed as part of the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. Using a G…
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. VIII. The Nuclei of Early-Type Galaxies
Patrick Cote, Slawomir Piatek, Laura Ferrarese +9
(Abridged) The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey is an HST program to obtain high-resolution, g and z-band images for 100 early-type members of the Virgo Cluster, spanning a range of ~460 i…
An Overdensity of Galaxies near the Most Distant Radio-Loud Quasar
W. Zheng, R. Overzier, R. J. Bouwens +41
A five square arcminute region around the luminous radio-loud quasar SDSS J0836+0054 (z=5.8) hosts a wealth of associated galaxies, characterized by very red (1.3 < i_775 - z_{850}…
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey IX: The Color Distributions of Globular Cluster Systems in Early-Type Galaxies
Eric W. Peng, Andres Jordan, Patrick Cote +7
We present the color distributions of globular cluster (GC) systems for 100 Virgo cluster early-type galaxies observed in the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. The color distributions of i…
