TL;DR: In this paper, a 2D Sersic model fitting with GALFIT was used to identify low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies in the Fornax Deep Survey (FDS) images.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Stellar Dynamics and Mass of NGC 1316 Using the Radial Velocities of Planetary Nebulae
Magda Arnaboldi,Kenneth C. Freeman,Ortwin Gerhard,M. Matthias,Rolf-Peter Kudritzki,Roberto H. Méndez,Massimo Capaccioli,Holland C. Ford +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a study of the kinematics of the outer regions of the early-type galaxy NGC 1316, based on radial velocity measurements of 43 planetary nebulae as well as deep integrated light absorption line spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Fornax Deep Survey (FDS) dwarf galaxy catalog as discussed by the authors was used to study the galaxies down to r'-band magnitude m(r') approximate to 21 mag (M-r' approximate to -10.5 mag), which opens a new parameter regime to investigate the evolution of dwarf galaxies in the cluster environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The VST Early-type GAlaxy Survey (VEGAS) as mentioned in this paper was designed to obtain deep multiband photometry in g,r,i, of about one hundred nearby galaxies down to 27.3, 26.8, and 26 mag/arcsec2 respectively.
