A Naked Dwarf: Molecular Gas in the Completely Stripped HI Tail of VCC 1249

Bumhyun Lee, Aeree Chung, Paolo Serra +12

We present the first observational hints of the severe removal of both molecular and HI gas from the dwarf galaxy VCC 1249. This extreme stripping event is thought to be driven by…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). II. A Catalog of Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster

Laura Ferrarese, Patrick Cote, Lauren A. MacArthur +51

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) is a deep, high resolution imaging campaign that used the 1 deg MegaCam instrument on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to carr…

Dwarf galaxies in the MATLAS Survey: Hubble Space Telescope observations of nuclear star clusters

Mélina Poulain, Francine R. Marleau, Pierre-Alain Duc +8

In dwarf galaxies, nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are believed to primarily form from the migration and merger of globular clusters (GCs), with a possible contribution from in-situ s…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XL. The Morphological Classification of Virgo Cluster Galaxies

Max M. Kurzner, Patrick Côté, Laura Ferrarese +19

We present a study of morphologies, based on deep imaging of the Virgo Cluster from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS), for 3689…

Evidence of star cluster migration and merger in dwarf galaxies

Mélina Poulain, Rory Smith, Pierre-Alain Duc +8

Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are the densest stellar systems in the Universe. They can be found at the center of all galaxy types, but tend to favor galaxies of intermediate stella…

The Globular Cluster System of the Virgo Cluster Ultradiffuse Galaxy VCC 615

J. Christopher Mihos, Patrick R. Durrell, Elisa Toloba +5

We use Hubble Space Telescope imaging to study the globular cluster system of the Virgo Cluster ultradiffuse galaxy (UDG) VCC 615. We select globular cluster candidates through a c…
