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…
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…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. VI. The Kinematics of Ultra-compact Dwarfs and Globular Clusters in M87
Hong-Xin Zhang, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Cote +19
The origin of ultra-compact dwarfs (UCDs)--objects larger and more massive than typical globular clusters (GCs), but more compact than typical dwarf galaxies--has been hotly debate…
