The haloes and environments of nearby galaxies (HERON) -- III. A 45 kpc spiral structure in the GLSB galaxy UGC 4599
Aleksandr V. Mosenkov, R. Michael Rich, Michael Fusco +10
We use a 0.7-m telescope in the framework of the Halos and Environments of Nearby Galaxies (HERON) survey to probe low surface brightness structures in nearby galaxies. One of our…
Brightest Cluster Galaxies: the centre can(not?) hold
Roberto De Propris, Michael J. West, Felipe Andrade-Santos +9
We explore the persistence of the alignment of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) with their local environment. We find that a significant fraction of BCGs do not coincide with the…
Clustering of red and blue galaxies around high-redshift 3C radio sources as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope
Zohreh Ghaffari, Martin Haas, Marco Chiaberge +5
To properly understand the evolution of high-redshift galaxy clusters, both passive and star-forming galaxies have to be considered. Here we study the clustering environment of 21…
Ten Billion Years of Brightest Cluster Galaxy Alignments
Michael J. West, Roberto De Propris, Malcolm N. Bremer +1
A galaxy's orientation is one of its most basic observable properties. Astronomers once assumed that galaxies are randomly oriented in space, however it is now clear that some have…
VLT/Magellan spectroscopy of 29 strong lensing selected galaxy clusters
Mauricio Carrasco, L. Felipe Barrientos, Timo Anguita +6
We present an extensive spectroscopic follow-up campaign of 29 strong lensing (SL) selected galaxy clusters discovered primarily in the Second Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS-2).…
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…
