Color-Magnitude Relations within Globular Cluster Systems of Giant Elliptical Galaxies: The Effects of Globular Cluster Mass Loss and the Stellar Initial Mass Function
Paul Goudfrooij, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen
Several recent studies have provided evidence for a `bottom-heavy' stellar initial mass function (IMF) in massive elliptical galaxies. Here we investigate the influence of the IMF…
The HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey - VII. Structure and Assembly of Massive Galaxies in the Center of the Coma Cluster
Tim Weinzirl, Shardha Jogee, Eyal Neistein +16
We constrain the assembly history of galaxies in the projected central 0.5 Mpc of the Coma cluster by performing structural decomposition on 69 massive (M_star >= 10^9 M_sun) galax…
Luminosity profiles and sizes of massive star clusters in NGC 7252
Nate Bastian, Francois Schweizer, Paul Goudfrooij +2
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide-Field Camera 3 (WFC3) images of the merger remnant NGC 7252. In particular, we focus on the surface brightness profiles and effective r…
The Optical Colors of Giant Elliptical Galaxies and their Metal-Rich Globular Clusters Indicate a Bottom-Heavy Initial Mass Function
Paul Goudfrooij, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen
We report a systematic and statistically significant offset between the optical (g-z or B-I) colors of seven massive elliptical galaxies and the mean colors of their associated mas…
Sizes, Half-Mass Densities, and Mass Functions of Star Clusters in the Merger Remnant NGC 1316: Clues to the Fate of Second-Generation Globular Clusters
Paul Goudfrooij
We study mass functions of globular clusters derived from HST/ACS images of the early-type merger remnant galaxy NGC 1316 which hosts a significant population of metal-rich globula…
The HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey. VIII. Barred Disk Galaxies in the Core of the Coma Cluster
Irina Marinova, Shardha Jogee, Tim Weinzirl +16
(ABRIDGED) We use high resolution (~0.1") F814W ACS images from the HST ACS Treasury survey of the Coma cluster at z~0.02 to study bars in massive disk galaxies (S0s), and in dwarf…
