The Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function of M87 and the Intracluster Stars of Virgo
Robin Ciardullo, George Jacoby, John Feldmeier +1
We present the results of a wide-field [O III] survey for planetary nebulae (PN) in M87 and its surrounding halo. We show that the planetary nebula luminosity function (PNL…
