Evidence for the rapid formation of low mass early-type galaxies in dense environments
Yiqing Liu, Eric W. Peng, John Blakeslee +6
We explore the environmental dependence of star formation timescales in low mass galaxies using the [/Fe] abundance ratio as an evolutionary clock. We present integrated [/Fe…
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…
Galaxies at the extremes: Ultra-diffuse galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
Chris Mihos, Patrick R. Durrell, Laura Ferrarese +7
We report the discovery of three large (R29 >~ 1 arcminute) extremely low surface brightness (mu_(V,0) ~ 27.0) galaxies identified using our deep, wide-field imaging of the Virgo C…
A Gemini/GMOS Study of Intermediate Luminosity Early-Type Virgo Cluster Galaxies. I. Globular Cluster and Stellar Kinematics
Biao Li, Eric W. Peng, Hong-xin Zhang +10
We present a kinematic analysis of the globular cluster systems and diffuse stellar light of four intermediate luminosity (sub-) early-type galaxies in the Virgo cluster…
