The southern leading and trailing wraps of the Sagittarius tidal stream around the globular cluster Whiting1

Julio A. Carballo-Bello, Jesus M. Corral-Santana, David Martinez-Delgado +6

We present a study of the kinematics of 101 stars observed with VIMOS around Whiting1, a globular cluster embedded in the Sagittarius tidal stream. The obtained velocity distributi…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XIII. The Luminosity and Mass Function of Galaxies in the Core of the Virgo Cluster and the Contribution from Disrupted Satellites

Laura Ferrarese, Patrick Cote, Ruben Sanchez-Janssen +21

We present measurements of the galaxy luminosity and stellar mass function in a 3.71 deg (0.3 Mpc) area in the core of the Virgo cluster, based on data from the Nex…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey XVI. The Angular Momentum of Dwarf Early-Type Galaxies from Globular Cluster Satellites

Elisa Toloba, Biao Li, Puragra Guhathakurta +10

We analyze the kinematics of six Virgo cluster dwarf early-type galaxies (dEs) from their globular cluster (GC) systems. We present new Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy for three of them a…

Solo Dwarfs I: Survey introduction and first results for the Sagittarius Dwarf Irregular Galaxy

C. R. Higgs, A. W. McConnachie, M. Irwin +6

We introduce the Solitary Local Dwarfs Survey (Solo), a wide field photometric study targeting every isolated dwarf galaxy within 3 Mpc of the Milky Way. Solo is based on (u)gi mul…

Spectacular tails of ionised gas in the Virgo cluster galaxy NGC 4569

A. Boselli, J. C. Cuillandre, M. Fossati +14

We obtained using MegaCam at the CFHT a deep narrow band Halpha+[NII] wide field image of NGC 4569, the brightest late-type galaxy in the Virgo cluster. The image reveals the prese…
