Comment on "Evidence for dark matter in the inner Milky Way"
Stacy McGaugh, Federico Lelli, Marcel Pawlowski +21
This is a brief rebuttal to arXiv:1502.03821, which claims to provide the first observational proof of dark matter interior to the solar circle. We point out that this result is no…
A Hybrid N-Body Code Incorporating Algorithmic Regularization and Post-Newtonian Forces
S. Harfst, A. Gualandris, D. Merritt +1
We describe a novel N-body code designed for simulations of the central regions of galaxies containing massive black holes. The code incorporates Mikkola's 'algorithmic' chain regu…
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…
Consequences of gravitational radiation recoil
David Merritt, Milos Milosavljevic, Marc Favata +2
Coalescing binary black holes experience an impulsive kick due to anisotropic emission of gravitational waves. We discuss the dynamical consequences of the recoil accompanying mass…
