Hypervelocity intracluster stars ejected by supermassive black hole binaries
Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Steinn Sigurdsson, J. Christopher Mihos +3
Hypervelocity stars have been recently discovered in the outskirts of galaxies, such as the unbound star in the Milky Way halo, or the three anomalously fast intracluster planetary…
Diffuse Light in the Virgo Cluster
Chris Mihos, Paul Harding, John Feldmeier +1
We present deep optical imaging of the inner 1.5 x 1.5 degrees of the Virgo cluster to search for diffuse intracluster light (ICL). Our image reaches a 1 sigma depth of mu_v=28.5 m…
Close Binaries as the Progenitors of the Brightest Planetary Nebulae
Robin Ciardullo, Steinn Sigurdsson, John J. Feldmeier +1
We investigate the possible progenitors of the planetary nebulae (PNs) which populate the top 0.5 mag of the [O III] 5007 planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF). We show that…
