The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey XV. The Formation Efficiencies of Globular Clusters in Early-Type Galaxies: The Effects of Mass and Environment
Eric W. Peng, Andres Jordan, Patrick Cote +8
The fraction of stellar mass contained in globular clusters (GCs), also measured by number as the specific frequency, is a fundamental quantity that reflects both a galaxy's early…
Trends in the Globular Cluster Luminosity Function of Early-Type Galaxies
Andres Jordan, Dean E. McLaughlin, Patrick Cote +8
We present results from a study of the globular cluster luminosity function (GCLF) in a sample of 89 early-type galaxies observed as part of the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. Using a G…
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. VIII. The Nuclei of Early-Type Galaxies
Patrick Cote, Slawomir Piatek, Laura Ferrarese +9
(Abridged) The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey is an HST program to obtain high-resolution, g and z-band images for 100 early-type members of the Virgo Cluster, spanning a range of ~460 i…
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey IX: The Color Distributions of Globular Cluster Systems in Early-Type Galaxies
Eric W. Peng, Andres Jordan, Patrick Cote +7
We present the color distributions of globular cluster (GC) systems for 100 Virgo cluster early-type galaxies observed in the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. The color distributions of i…
Discovery of Strong Lensing by an Elliptical Galaxy at z=0.0345
Russell J. Smith, John P. Blakeslee, John R. Lucey +1
We have discovered strong gravitational lensing by the galaxy ESO325-G004, in images obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope. The lens galaxy is…
Type Ia Supernova Discoveries at z>1 From the Hubble Space Telescope: Evidence for Past Deceleration and Constraints on Dark Energy Evolution
Adam G. Riess, Louis-Gregory Strolger, John Tonry +16
We have discovered 16 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and have used them to provide the first conclusive evidence for cosmic deceleration that pre…
