Hubble Space Telescope Observations of Two Faint Dwarf Satellites of Nearby LMC Analogs from MADCASH

Jeffrey L. Carlin, Burcin Mutlu-Pakdil, Denija Crnojevic +11

We present a deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging study of two dwarf galaxies in the halos of Local Volume Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) analogs. These dwarfs were discovered a…

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. XXXIV. Ultra-Compact Dwarf (UCD) Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster

Chengze Liu, Patrick Côté, Eric W. Peng +26

We present a study of ultra compact dwarf (UCD) galaxies in the Virgo cluster based mainly on imaging from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). Using 100 deg$^{2}…

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…
