TL;DR: In this article, specific frequencies, luminosities, and mass fractions for the globular cluster systems of 100 early-type galaxies in the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey were presented, showing that the fraction of stellar mass contained in globular clusters (GCs) is a fundamental quantity that reflects both a galaxy's early star formation and its entire merging history.

TL;DR: The detection of a planet orbiting a post-red-giant star demonstrates that planets with orbital distances of less than 2 au can survive the red-Giant expansion of their parent stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homogeneous UGRIZ Photometry for ACS Virgo Cluster Survey Galaxies: A Non-parametric Analysis from SDSS Imaging
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present photometric and structural parameters for 100 ACS Virgo Cluster Survey (ACSVCS) galaxies based on homogeneous, multi-wavelength (ugriz), wide-field SDSS (DR5) imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological Distortion of Galactic Globular Clusters
C. W. Chen,Wen Ping Chen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the shapes and sizes of 116 Galactic globular clusters (GCs) are presented, based on the analysis of the spatial distribution of 2MASS point sources.

TL;DR: In this paper, a smooth broken power-law function was described for the R-band light curves of GRB 050319, with α 1 = -0.84 ± 0.02, α 2 = −0.48 ± 0,03, 0.04 days after the gamma-ray burst.
