The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XXVII.The Size and Structure of Globular Cluster Systems and their Connection to Dark Matter Halos

Sungsoon Lim, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Côté +18

We study the size and structure of globular clusters (GC) systems of 118 early-type galaxies from the NGVS, MATLAS, and ACSVCS surveys. Fitting Sérsic profiles, we investigate the…

Constraining the stellar populations of ultra-diffuse galaxies in the MATLAS survey using spectral energy distribution fitting

Maria Luisa Buzzo, Duncan A. Forbes, Thomas H. Jarrett +12

We use spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to place constraints on the stellar populations of 59 ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the low-to-moderate density fields of the M…

An evolutionary continuum from nucleated dwarf galaxies to star clusters

Kaixiang Wang, Eric W. Peng, Chengze Liu +21

Systematic studies have revealed hundreds of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in the nearby Universe. With half-light radii of approximately 10-100 parsecs and stellar mas…

The creation of a massive UCD by tidal threshing from NGC 936

Sanjaya Paudel, Pierre-Alain Duc, Sungsoon Lim +9

We study a compact nucleus embedded in an early-type dwarf galaxy, MATLAS-167, which is in the process of disruption by the tidal force of the neighboring giant S0 galaxy, NGC 936,…

A Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission (VESTIGE).XIII. The role of ram-pressure stripping in transforming the diffuse and ultra-diffuse galaxies in the Virgo cluster

Junais, S. Boissier, A. Boselli +16

Low-surface-brightness galaxies (LSBs) contribute to a significant fraction of all the galaxies in the Universe. Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) form a subclass of LSBs that has attr…

The Color Gradients of the Globular Cluster Systems in M87 and M49

Yiming Wu, Chengze Liu, Eric W. Peng +8

Combining data from the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey (ACSVCS) and the Next Generation Virgo cluster Survey (NGVS), we extend previous studies of color gradients of the globular cluster…
