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…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. X. Properties of Ultra-Compact Dwarfs in the M87, M49 and M60 Regions
Chengze Liu, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Cote +18
We use imaging from the Next Generation Virgo cluster Survey (NGVS) to present a comparative study of ultra-compact dwarf (UCD) galaxies associated with three prominent Virgo sub-c…
Globular cluster formation efficiencies from black-hole X-ray binary feedback
Stephen Justham, Eric W. Peng, Kevin Schawinski
We investigate a scenario in which feedback from black-hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs) sometimes begins inside young star clusters before strong supernova feedback. Those BHXBs could r…
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…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. IX. Estimating the Efficiency of Galaxy Formation on the Lowest-Mass Scales
Jonathan Grossauer, James E. Taylor, Laura Ferrarese +11
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey has recently determined the luminosity function of galaxies in the core of the Virgo cluster down to unprecedented magnitude and surface br…
