CANDELS Observations Of The Environmental Dependence Of The Color-Mass-Morphology Relation At Z=1.6
(2013-06)
We study the environmental dependence of color, stellar mass, and morphology by comparing galaxies in a forming cluster to those in the field at z = 1.6 with Hubble Space Telescope near-infrared imaging in the CANDELS/UDS ...
Structure and Formation of Elliptical and Spheroidal Galaxies
(2009-05)
New surface photometry of all known elliptical galaxies in the Virgo cluster is combined with published data to derive composite profiles of brightness, ellipticity, position angle, isophote shape, and color over large ...
Interacting Galaxies In The A901/902 Supercluster With Stages
(2009-11)
We present a study of galaxy mergers and the influence of environment in the Abell 901/902 supercluster at z similar to 0.165, based on 893 bright (R(Vega) <= 24) intermediate-mass (M(*) >= 10(9) M(circle dot)) galaxies. ...
Stellar Tidal Streams In Spiral Galaxies Of The Local Volume: A Pilot Survey With Modest Aperture Telescopes
(2010-10)
Within the hierarchical framework for galaxy formation, minor merging and tidal interactions are expected to shape all large galaxies to the present day. As a consequence, most seemingly normal disk galaxies should be ...
Stellar Tidal Streams In Spiral Galaxies Of The Local Volume: A Pilot Survey With Modest Aperture Telescopes
(2010-10)
Within the hierarchical framework for galaxy formation, minor merging and tidal interactions are expected to shape all large galaxies to the present day. As a consequence, most seemingly normal disk galaxies should be ...
A Revised Parallel-Sequence Morphological Classification of Galaxies: Structure and Formation of S0 and Spheroidal Galaxies
(2012-01)
We update van den Bergh's parallel-sequence galaxy classification in which S0 galaxies form a sequence S0a-S0b-S0c that parallels the sequence Sa-Sb-Sc of spiral galaxies. The ratio B/T of bulge-to-total light defines the ...
The HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey. VIII. Barred Disk Galaxies In The Core Of The Coma Cluster
(2012-02)
We use high-resolution (similar to 0.'' 1) F814W Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) images from the Hubble Space Telescope ACS Treasury survey of the Coma cluster at z similar to 0.02 to study bars in massive disk galaxies ...
Angular Momenta, Dynamical Masses, And Mergers Of Brightest Cluster Galaxies
(2013-12)
Using the VIMOS integral field unit (IFU) spectrograph on the Very Large Telescope, we have spatially mapped the kinematic properties of 10 nearby brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and 4 BCG companion galaxies located ...
A Dozen New Galaxies Caught In The Act: Gas Stripping And Extended Emission Line Regions In The Coma Cluster
(2010-12)
We present images of extended H alpha clouds associated with 14 member galaxies in the Coma cluster obtained from deep narrowband imaging observations with the Suprime-Cam at the Subaru Telescope. The parent galaxies of ...
Relating Basic Properties Of Bright Early-Type Dwarf Galaxies To Their Location In Abell 901/902
(2009-12)
We present a study of the population of bright early-type dwarf galaxies in the multiple-cluster system Abell 901/902. We use data from the STAGES survey and COMBO-17 to investigate the relation between the color and ...
