THE NEXT GENERATION VIRGO CLUSTER SURVEY. VIII. THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF GLOBULAR CLUSTERS IN THE VIRGO CLUSTER [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 We report on a large-scale study of the distribution of globular clusters (GCs) throughout the Virgo cluster, based on photometry from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey, a large imaging survey covering Virgo's primary subclusters to their virial ...

The Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey – XVI. A cluster inventory★ [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014 Herschel FIR observations are used to construct Virgo cluster galaxy luminosity functions and to show that the cluster lacks the very bright and the numerous faint sources detected in field galaxy surveys.

Dark No More: The Low-luminosity Stellar Counterpart of a Dark Cloud in the Virgo Cluster [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe have discovered the stellar counterpart to the ALFALFA Virgo 7 cloud complex, which has been thought to be optically dark and nearly star-free since its discovery in 2007. This ∼190 kpc long chain of enormous atomic gas clouds ( M _H _i ∼ 10 ^9 M _⊙ )

Expected intermediate-mass black holes in the Virgo cluster. I. Early-type galaxies [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 We expand upon the AMUSE-Virgo survey which imaged 100 early-type Virgo cluster galaxies with the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and we place an emphasis on potential intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs).

VERTICO. VII. Environmental Quenching Caused by the Suppression of Molecular Gas Content and Star Formation Efficiency in Virgo Cluster Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We study how environment regulates the star formation cycle of 33 Virgo Cluster satellite galaxies on 720 pc scales. We present the resolved star-forming main sequence for cluster galaxies, dividing the sample based on their global H i properties and ...

Evidence for Mass-dependent Evolution of Transitional Dwarf Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalThe presence of transitional dwarf galaxies in cluster environments supports the hypothesis that infalling star-forming galaxies are transformed into quiescent early-type dwarf galaxies (ETdGs) through environmental effects.

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XXVII. The Size and Structure of Globular Cluster Systems and Their Connection to Dark Matter Halos [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalWe study the size and structure of globular cluster (GC) systems of 118 early-type galaxies from the NGVS, MATLAS, and ACSVCS surveys. Fitting Sérsic profiles, we investigate the relationship between effective radii of GC systems ( R _e _,gc ) and galaxy

How did the Virgo cluster form? [PDF]
, 2016 While the Virgo cluster is the nearest galaxy cluster and therefore the best observed one, little is known about its formation history. In this paper, a set of cosmological simulations that resemble the Local Universe is used to shed the first light on ...

Star-forming dwarf galaxies in the Virgo cluster: the link between molecular gas, atomic gas, and dust [PDF]
, 2016 We present $^{12}$CO(1-0) and $^{12}$CO(2-1) observations of a sample of 20 star-forming dwarfs selected from the Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey, with oxygen abundances ranging from 12 + log(O/H) ~ 8.1 to 8.8.
