Fresh Insights on the Kinematics of M49's Globular Cluster System with MMT/Hectospec Spectroscopy
Matthew A. Taylor, Youkyung Ko, Patrick Côté +10
We present the first results of an MMT/Hectospec campaign to measure the kinematics of globular clusters (GCs) around M49 -- the brightest galaxy in the Virgo galaxy cluster, which…
A Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission (VESTIGE).X. Formation of a red ultra-diffuse galaxy and an almost dark galaxy during a ram-pressure stripping event
Junais, S. Boissier, A. Boselli +16
The evolution of galaxies depends on their interaction with the surrounding environment. Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have been found in large numbers in clusters. We detected a f…
The Mass and Age Distribution of Halo White Dwarfs in the Canada-France Imaging Survey
Nicholas J. Fantin, Patrick Côté, Alan W. McConnachie +6
We present optical spectroscopy for 18 halo white dwarfs identified using photometry from the Canada-France Imaging Survey and Pan-STARRS1 DR1 3 survey combined with astrometry…
Solo dwarfs II: The stellar structure of isolated Local Group dwarf galaxies
C. R. Higgs, A. W. McConnachie, N. Annau +5
The Solo (Solitary Local) Dwarf Galaxy survey is a volume limited, wide-field g- and i- band survey of all known nearby (<3 Mpc) and isolated (>300 kpc from the Milky Way or M31) d…
Solo dwarfs III: Exploring the orbital origins of isolated Local Group galaxies with Gaia Data Release 2
Alan W. McConnachie, Clare R. Higgs, Guillaume F. Thomas +4
We measure systemic proper motions for distant dwarf galaxies in the Local Group and investigate if these isolated galaxies have ever had an interaction with the Milky Way or M31.…
Tightening weak lensing constraints on the ellipticity of galaxy-scale dark matter haloes
Tim Schrabback, Henk Hoekstra, Ludovic Van Waerbeke +19
Cosmological simulations predict that galaxies are embedded into triaxial dark matter haloes, which appear approximately elliptical in projection. Weak gravitational lensing allows…
