The Resolved Stellar Populations of a Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster
Patrick R. Durrell, Benjamin F. Williams, Robin Ciardullo +11
We report on the discovery of a faint (M_V ~ -10.6 +/- 0.2) dwarf spheroidal galaxy on deep F606W and F814W Hubble Space Telescope images of a Virgo intracluster field. The galaxy…
The Metallicity Distribution of Intracluster Stars in Virgo
Benjamin F. Williams, Robin Ciardullo, Patrick R. Durrell +11
We have used the Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) to detect and measure ~5300 stars in a single intracluster field in the Virgo Cluster. By performing F60…
Virgo's Intracluster Globular Clusters as Seen by the Advanced Camera for Surveys
Benjamin F. Williams, Robin Ciardullo, Patrick R. Durrell +11
We report the discovery of 4 candidate intracluster globular clusters (IGCs) in a single deep HST ACS field of the Virgo Cluster. We show that each cluster is roughly spherical, ha…
Inverting Color-Magnitude Diagrams to Access Precise Star Cluster Parameters: A Bayesian Approach
Ted von Hippel, William H. Jefferys, James Scott +5
We demonstrate a new Bayesian technique to invert color-magnitude diagrams of main sequence and white dwarf stars to reveal the underlying cluster properties of age, distance, meta…
