The Metallicity Distribution of Intracluster Stars in Virgo
Benjamin F. Williams, Robin Ciardullo, Patrick R. Durrell +11
We have used the Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) to detect and measure ~5300 stars in a single intracluster field in the Virgo Cluster. By performing F60…
Virgo's Intracluster Globular Clusters as Seen by the Advanced Camera for Surveys
Benjamin F. Williams, Robin Ciardullo, Patrick R. Durrell +11
We report the discovery of 4 candidate intracluster globular clusters (IGCs) in a single deep HST ACS field of the Virgo Cluster. We show that each cluster is roughly spherical, ha…
Diffuse Light in Hickson Compact Groups: The Dynamically Young System HCG 44
J. A. L. Aguerri, N. Castro-Rodriguez, N. Napolitano +2
Compact groups are associations of a few galaxies in which the environment plays an important role in galaxy evolution. The low group velocity dispersion favors tidal interactions…
Growth of galactic bulges by mergers. II. Low-density satellites
M. C. Eliche-Moral, M. Balcells, J. A. L. Aguerri +1
Satellite accretion events have been invoked for mimicking the internal secular evolutionary processes of bulge growth. However, N-body simulations of satellite accretions have pai…
