Is Galactic Structure Compatible with Microlensing Data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generalize to elliptical models the argument of Kuijken (1997), which connects the microlensing optical depth towards the Galactic bulge to the Galactic rotation curve.
Journal ArticleDOI

The dynamically hot stellar halo around NGC 3311: a small cluster-dominated central galaxy ,

TL;DR: In this paper, an on-going project with the aim to characterize the dynamical state in the core of the Hydra I (Abell 1060) cluster around NGC 3311 is reported.

Candidates for Intracluster Planetary Nebulae in the Virgo Cluster based on the Suprime-Cam Narrow-Band Imaging in O[III] and Halpha

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified 38 candidates of intracluster planetary nebulae (ICPNe) in a $34'times27'$ field in the core of the Virgo cluster based on the Suprime-Cam imaging through two narrow-band filters centered at the redshifted wavelengths of the [OIII]$\lambda=5007\AA$ and the Halpha \lambda=6563\AA lines.
