The XMM Cluster Survey: The Dynamical State of XMMXCS J2215.9-1738 at z=1.457
Matt Hilton, Chris A. Collins, S. Adam Stanford +12
We present new spectroscopic observations of the most distant X-ray selected galaxy cluster currently known, XMMXCS J2215.9-1738 at z=1.457, obtained with the DEIMOS instrument at…
Coma cluster object populations down to M_R~-9.5
C. Adami, J. P. Picat, F. Durret +3
This study follows a recent analysis of the galaxy luminosity functions and colour-magnitude red sequences in the Coma cluster (Adami et al. 2007). We analyze here the distribution…
Spatial variations of the optical galaxy luminosity functions and red sequences in the Coma cluster: clues to its assembly history
C. Adami, F. Durret, A. Mazure +4
Clusters of galaxies are believed to be at the intersections of cosmological filaments and to grow by accreting matter from these filaments. Such continuous infall has major conseq…
A Fundamental Relation Between Compact Stellar Nuclei, Supermassive Black Holes, and Their Host Galaxies
Laura Ferrarese, Patrick Cote, Elena Dalla Bonta +9
Imaging surveys with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) have shown that roughly 50-80% of low- and intermediate-luminosity galaxies contain a compact stellar nucleus at their center,…
A search for ultra-compact dwarf galaxies in the NGC 1023 group of galaxies
S. Mieske, M. J. West, C. Mendes de Oliveira
We present a photometric search for UCD candidates in the nearby galaxy group NGC 1023 (d=11 Mpc) -- the poorest environment searched for UCDs yet --, based on wide field imaging w…
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of cD Galaxies and their Globular Cluster Systems
Andres Jordan, Patrick Cote, Michael J. West +3
We have used WFPC2 on the Hubble Space Telescope to obtain F450W and F814W images of four cD galaxies (NGC 541 in Abell 194, NGC 2832 in Abell 779, NGC 4839 in Abell 1656 and NGC 7…
