Intra-cluster patches of baryons in the core of the Fornax cluster
E. Iodice, M. Spavone, M. Cantiello +12
In the core of the Fornax cluster, on the West side of NGC1399, we have detected a previously unknown region of intra-cluster light (ICL). It is made up by several faint ($μ_r \sim…
VEGAS-SSS II: Comparing the globular cluster systems in NGC3115 and NGC1399 using VEGAS and FDS survey data
Michele Cantiello, Raffaele D'Abrusco, Marilena Spavone +15
We analyze the globular cluster (GC) systems in two very different galaxies, N3115 and N1399. With the papers of this series, we aim at highlighting common and different properties…
Sloshing in its cD halo: MUSE kinematics of the central galaxy NGC 3311
Carlos E. Barbosa, Magda Arnaboldi, Lodovico Coccato +4
Early-type galaxies show a strong size evolution with redshift. This evolution is explained by fast "in-situ" star formation at high- followed by a late mass assembly mostly dri…
The Fornax Deep Survey (FDS) with the VST: III. Low Surface Brightness (LSB) dwarfs and Ultra Diffuse Galaxies (UDGs) in the center of the Fornax cluster
A. Venhola, R. Peletier, E. Laurikainen +16
Studies of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies in nearby clusters have revealed a sub-population of extremely diffuse galaxies with central surface brightness > 24 mag…
Age as a Major Factor in the Onset of Multiple Populations in Stellar Clusters
S. Martocchia, I. Cabrera-Ziri, C. Lardo +16
It is now well established that globular clusters (GCs) exhibit star-to-star light-element abundance variations (known as multiple stellar populations, MPs). Such chemical anomalie…
The formation of UCDs and massive GCs: Quasar-like objects for testing for a variable stellar initial mass function (IMF)
Tereza Jerabkova, Pavel Kroupa, Joerg Dabringhausen +2
The stellar initial mas function (IMF) has been described as being invariant, bottom heavy or top-heavy in extremely dense star burst conditions. To provide usable observable diagn…
The difference in metallicity distribution functions of halo stars and globular clusters as a function of galaxy type: A tracer of globular cluster formation and evolution
Henny J. G. L. M. Lamers, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Nate Bastian +3
Observations of globular clusters (GCs) and field stars in the halos of the giant elliptical galaxy Cen A and the spiral galaxy M31 show a large range of cluster-to-star number rat…
Detection of Supermassive Black Holes in Two Virgo Ultracompact Dwarf Galaxies
Christopher P. Ahn, Anil C. Seth, Mark den Brok +13
We present the detection of supermassive black holes (BHs) in two Virgo ultracompact dwarf galaxies (UCDs), VUCD3 and M59cO. We use adaptive optics assisted data from the Gemini/NI…
