The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. XXIII. Fundamentals of nuclear star clusters over seven decades in galaxy mass
R. Sánchez-Janssen, P. Côté, L. Ferrarese +25
Using deep, high resolution optical imaging from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey we study the properties of nuclear star clusters (NSCs) in a sample of nearly 400 quiescen…
The ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC 1052-DF2 with MUSE: I. Kinematics of the stellar body
Eric Emsellem, Remco F. J. van der Burg, Jeremy Fensch +14
The so-called ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC~1052-DF2 was announced to be a galaxy lacking dark matter based on a spectroscopic study of its constituent globular clusters. Here we presen…
A Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission (VESTIGE).V. Properties of the ionised gas filament of M87
A. Boselli, M. Fossati, A. Longobardi +22
We have observed the giant elliptical galaxy M87 during the Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Galaxy Evolution (VESTIGE), a blind narrow-band Halpha+[NII] imaging survey of the Vi…
Pristine Dwarf-Galaxy Survey I: A detailed photometric and spectroscopic study of the very metal-poor Draco II satellite
Nicolas Longeard, Nicolas Martin, Else Starkenburg +17
We present a detailed study of the faint Milky Way satellite Draco II (Dra II) from deep CFHT/MegaCam broadband and photometry and narrow-band metallicity-sensitive CaHK ob…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) XXXI. The kinematics of intra-cluster globular clusters in the core of the Virgo cluster
Alessia Longobardi, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Côté +21
Intra-cluster (IC) populations are expected to be a natural result of the hierarchical assembly of clusters, yet their low space densities make them difficult to detect and study.…
The Pristine Survey IV: Approaching the Galactic metallicity floor with the discovery of an ultra metal-poor star
Else Starkenburg, David S. Aguado, Piercarlo Bonifacio +22
The early Universe presented a star formation environment that was almost devoid of heavy elements. The lowest metallicity stars thus provide a unique window into the earliest Gala…
