Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
We present a study of the smallest and faintest galaxies found in a very deep photographic R band survey of regions of the Virgo Cluster, totalling over 3 square degrees, made with the UK Schmidt Telescope. The objects we detect have the same physical sizes and surface brightnesses as Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies. The luminosity function of these extremely low luminosity galaxies (down...
متن کاملDiscovery of Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
We have discovered nine ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in the Virgo Cluster, extending samples of these objects outside the Fornax Cluster. Using the 2dF multi-fiber spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, the new Virgo members were found among 1500 color-selected, star-like targets with 16.0 < bj < 20.2 in a two-degree diameter field centered on M87 (NGC4486). Institute for Geophy...
متن کاملKeck Spectroscopy of Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
Keck spectroscopy is presented for four dwarf elliptical galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. At this distance, the mean velocity and velocity dispersion are well resolved as a function of radius between 100 to 1000 pc, allowing a clear separation between nuclear and surrounding galaxy light. We find a variety of dispersion profiles for the inner regions of these objects, and show that none of these ...
متن کاملCompleting HI observations of galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
High sensitivity (rms noise ∼ 0.5 mJy) 21-cm H i line observations were made of 33 galaxies in the Virgo cluster, using the refurbished Arecibo telescope, which resulted in the detection of 12 objects. These data, combined with the measurements available from the literature, provide the first set of H i data that is complete for all 355 late-type (Sa-Im-BCD) galaxies in the Virgo cluster with m...
متن کاملUv Properties of Early-type Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
We study the UV properties of a volume limited sample of early-type galaxies in the Virgo cluster combining new GALEX far(1530 Å) and near-ultraviolet (2310 Å) data with spectro-photometric data available at other wavelengths. The sample includes 264 ellipticals, lenticulars and dwarfs spanning a large range in luminosity (MB ≤ -15). While the NUV to optical or near-IR color magnitude relations...
