The ACS Fornax Cluster Survey. II. The Central Brightness Profiles of Early-Type Galaxies: A Characteristic Radius on Nuclear Scales and the Transition from Central Luminosity Deficit to Excess
Patrick Cote, Laura Ferrarese, Andres Jordan +9
We analyse HST surface brightness profiles for 143 early-type galaxies in the Virgo and Fornax Clusters. Sersic models provide accurate descriptions of the global profiles with a n…
The Environment of M85 optical transient 2006-1: constraints on the progenitor age and mass
E. O. Ofek, S. R. Kulkarni, A. Rau +11
M85 optical transient 2006-1 (M85 OT 2006-1) is the most luminous member of the small family of V838 Mon-like objects, whose nature is still a mystery. This event took place in the…
Infrared Emission from the Nearby Cool Core Cluster Abell 2597
Megan Donahue, Andres Jordan, Stefi A. Baum +9
We observed the brightest central galaxy (BCG) in the nearby (z=0.0821) cool core galaxy cluster Abell 2597 with the IRAC and MIPS instruments on board the Spitzer Space Telescope.…
The Black Hole Mass of NGC 4151: Comparison of Reverberation Mapping and Stellar Dynamical Measurements
Christopher A. Onken, Monica Valluri, Bradley M. Peterson +11
We present a stellar dynamical estimate of the black hole (BH) mass in the Seyfert 1 galaxy, NGC 4151. We analyze ground-based spectroscopy as well as imaging data from the ground…
The Black Hole Mass of Abell 1836-BCG and Abell 3565-BCG
E. Dalla Bonta', L. Ferrarese, E. M. Corsini +3
Two brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), namely Abell 1836-BCG and Abell 3565-BCG, were observed with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrogra…
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. XII. The Luminosity Function of Globular Clusters in Early Type Galaxies
Andres Jordan, Dean E. McLaughlin, Patrick Cote +7
We analyze the luminosity function of the globular clusters (GCs) belonging to the early-type galaxies observed in the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. We have obtained estimates for a Ga…
