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…
Independent Analysis of the Distance to NGC1052-DF2
John P. Blakeslee, Michele Cantiello
The conclusion that the diffuse galaxy NGC1052-DF2 is deficient in dark matter depends critically on the distance, as noted in the original publication and subsequent works. The re…
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 Globular Cluster Systems of Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies in the Coma Cluster
Sungsoon Lim, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Cote +4
Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are unusual galaxies with low luminosities, similar to classical dwarf galaxies, but sizes up to larger than expected for their mass. Some U…
A Precise Distance to the Host Galaxy of the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817 Using Surface Brightness Fluctuations
Michele Cantiello, J. B. Jensen, J. P. Blakeslee +25
The joint detection of gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation from the binary neutron star (BNS) merger GW170817 has provided unprecedented insight into a wide range of…
Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XXXII:~Search for a Globular Cluster Substructure in the Virgo Galaxy Cluster Core
Mathieu Powalka, Thomas H. Puzia, Ariane Lançon +19
Substructure in globular cluster (GC) populations around large galaxies is expected in galaxy formation scenarios that involve accretion or merger events, and it has been searched…
