Napolitano,Maurizio Paolillo,Maurizio Paolillo,Maurizio Paolillo,Reynier Peletier,Michele Cantiello,Thorsten Lisker,Carolin Wittmann,Aku Venhola,Michael Hilker,Raffaele D'Abrusco,Vincenzo Pota,Pietro Schipani +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Fornax Deep Survey (FDS) at the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) was used to detect a faint stellar bridge in the intracluster region on the west side of NGC 1399 in the core of the cluster.

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distance to NGC4993 in the F110W and F160W passbands of the Wide Field Camera 3 Infrared Channel on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was derived.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Fornax Deep Survey (FDS) with the VST: III. Low Surface Brightness (LSB) dwarfs and Ultra Diffuse Galaxies (UDGs) in the center of the Fornax cluster
Aku Venhola,Reynier Peletier,Eija Laurikainen,H. Salo,Thorsten Lisker,Enrichetta Iodice,Massimo Capaccioli,G. A. Verdoes Kleijn,Edwin A. Valentijn,Steffen Mieske,M. Hilker,C. Wittman,G.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 2D Sersic model fitting with GALFIT was used to classify low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies in nearby clusters and analyzed their distribution and orientations in the cluster, and studied their colors.
