The Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS)
Peter J. Wheatley, Richard G. West, Michael R. Goad +43
We describe the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS), which is a ground-based project searching for transiting exoplanets orbiting bright stars. NGTS builds on the legacy of previ…
The Color-Magnitude Relation for Metal-Poor Globular Clusters in M87: Confirmation From Deep HST/ACS Imaging
Eric W. Peng, Andres Jordan, John P. Blakeslee +6
Metal-poor globular clusters (GCs) are our local link to the earliest epochs of star formation and galaxy building. Studies of extragalactic GC systems using deep, high-quality ima…
A Transient Black-Hole Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Candidate in Centaurus A
Gregory R. Sivakoff, Ralph P. Kraft, Andrés Jordán +14
We report the discovery of a bright transient X-ray source, CXOU J132518.2-430304, towards Centaurus A (Cen A) using six new Chandra X-Ray Observatory observations in 2007 March--M…
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…
