Mysterious Globular Cluster System of the Peculiar Massive Galaxy M85

Youkyung Ko, Myung Gyoon Lee, Hong Soo Park +4

We present a study on stellar population and kinematics of globular clusters (GCs) in the peculiar galaxy M85. We obtain optical spectra of 89 GCs at 8 kpc 160 kpc using th…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XXX. Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies and their Globular Cluster Systems

Sungsoon Lim, Patrick Côté, Eric W. Peng +14

We present a study of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the Virgo Cluster based on deep imaging from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). Applying a new definition for t…

Revealing the formation mechanism of the shell galaxy NGC474 with MUSE

Jeremy Fensch, Pierre-Alain Duc, Sungsoon Lim +6

Stellar shells around galaxies could provide precious insights into their assembly history. However, their formation mechanism remains poorly empirically constrained, in particular…

A spectroscopic study of MATLAS-2019 with MUSE: an ultra-diffuse galaxy with an excess of old globular clusters

Oliver Müller, Francine R. Marleau, Pierre-Alain Duc +10

The MATLAS deep imaging survey has uncovered a plethora of dwarf galaxies in the low density environment it has mapped. A fraction of them are unusually extended and have a low-sur…

A discrete chemo-dynamical model of M87's globular clusters: Kinematics extending to ~ 400 kpc

Chao Li, Ling Zhu, R. J. Long +14

We study the mass distribution and kinematics of the giant elliptical galaxy M87 (NGC 4486) using discrete chemo-dynamical, axisymmetric Jeans equation modelling. Our catalogue com…

The Formation of Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies in Clusters

Laura V. Sales, Julio F. Navarro, Louis Penafiel +3

We use the IllustrisTNG cosmological hydrodynamical simulation to study the formation of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in galaxy clusters. We supplement the simulations with a real…
