The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. XXIII. Fundamentals of nuclear star clusters over seven decades in galaxy mass
R. Sánchez-Janssen, P. Côté, L. Ferrarese +25
Using deep, high resolution optical imaging from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey we study the properties of nuclear star clusters (NSCs) in a sample of nearly 400 quiescen…
The ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC 1052-DF2 with MUSE: I. Kinematics of the stellar body
Eric Emsellem, Remco F. J. van der Burg, Jeremy Fensch +14
The so-called ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC~1052-DF2 was announced to be a galaxy lacking dark matter based on a spectroscopic study of its constituent globular clusters. Here we presen…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) XXXI. The kinematics of intra-cluster globular clusters in the core of the Virgo cluster
Alessia Longobardi, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Côté +21
Intra-cluster (IC) populations are expected to be a natural result of the hierarchical assembly of clusters, yet their low space densities make them difficult to detect and study.…
The Globular Cluster Systems of Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies in the Coma Cluster
Sungsoon Lim, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Cote +4
Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are unusual galaxies with low luminosities, similar to classical dwarf galaxies, but sizes up to larger than expected for their mass. Some U…
Gemini/GMOS Spectroscopy of Globular Clusters in the Merger Remnant Galaxy M85
Youkyung Ko, Myung Gyoon Lee, Hong Soo Park +3
M85 is a peculiar S0 galaxy in Virgo and is a well-known merger remnant. In this paper, we present the first spectroscopic study of globular clusters (GCs) in M85. We obtain spectr…
Dark Matter in Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster from their Globular Cluster Populations
Elisa Toloba, Sungsoon Lim, Eric Peng +11
We present Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy of globular clusters (GCs) around the ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) VLSB-B, VLSB-D, and VCC615 located in the central regions of the Virgo clust…
Stellar Population Properties of Ultracompact Dwarfs in M87: a Mass-metallicity Correlation Connecting Low-metallicity Globular Clusters and Compact Ellipticals
Hong-Xin Zhang, Thomas H. Puzia, Eric W. Peng +12
We derive stellar population parameters for a representative sample of ultracompact dwarfs (UCDs) and a large sample of massive globular clusters (GCs) with stellar masses $\gtrsim…
