Fossil Group Origins VII. Galaxy substructures in fossil systems
S. Zarattini, M. Girardi, J. A. L. Aguerri +9
Fossil groups are expected to be the final product of galaxy merging within galaxy groups. In simulations, they are predicted to assemble their mass at high redshift. This early fo…
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…
On the Assembly of Dwarf Galaxies in Clusters and their Efficient Formation of Globular Clusters
Pouria A. Mistani, Laura V. Sales, Annalisa Pillepich +6
Galaxy clusters contain a large population of low mass dwarf elliptical galaxies whose exact origin is unclear: their colors, structural properties and kinematics differ substantia…
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…
