Intracluster Planetary Nebulae as Probes of Intracluster Starlight
John J. Feldmeier
I review the progress in research on Intracluster Planetary Nebulae (IPN). Hundreds of IPN candidates have now been found in the Virgo and Fornax galaxy clusters, and searches of t…
A CFH12K Survey of Red Giant Stars in the M81 Group
Patrick R. Durrell, Megan E. DeCesar, Robin Ciardullo +2
We present the preliminary results of a wide-field photometric survey of individual red giant branch (RGB) and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the M81 group, performed with…
Intracluster Planetary Nebulae in Clusters and Groups
John J. Feldmeier, Robin B. Ciardullo, George H. Jacoby +2
We present the results from multiple surveys for intracluster planetary nebulae (IPNe) in nearby galaxy clusters and groups. We find that in the case of clusters, our observations…
Results from a diffuse intracluster light survey
John J. Feldmeier, J. Christopher Mihos, Heather L. Morrison +2
We give an update of our ongoing survey for intracluster light (ICL), in a sample of distant Abell clusters. We find that the amount of intracluster starlight is comparable to that…
Using Intracluster Light to Study Cluster Evolution
John J. Feldmeier, J. Christopher Mihos, Heather L. Morrison +2
We present some early results from our deep imaging survey of galaxy clusters intended to detect and study intracluster light (ICL). From our observations to date, we find that ICL…
Intracluster Planetary Nebulae
John J. Feldmeier
We review the progress of research on intracluster planetary nebulae (IPN). In the past five years, hundreds of IPN candidates have been detected in the Virgo and Fornax galaxy clu…
