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.…
The hidden past of M92: Detection and characterization of a newly formed 17° long stellar stream using the Canada-France Imaging Survey
Guillaume F. Thomas, Jaclyn Jensen, Alan McConnachie +17
We present an analysis of the structure, kinematics and orbit of a newly found stellar stream emanating from the globular cluster M92 (NGC 6341). This stream was discovered in an i…
