Laura Ferrarese,Patrick Côté,Andrés Jordán,Andrés Jordán,Eric W. Peng,John P. Blakeslee,John P. Blakeslee,Slawomir Piatek,Simona Mei,David Merritt,Milos Milosavljevic,Milos Milosavljevic,John L. Tonry,Michael J. West +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of the morphology, isophotal parameters, and surface brightness profiles for 100 early-type members of the Virgo Cluster, from dwarfs (MB = -15.1 mag) to giants (GB = -21.8 mag), was presented.

Patrick Côté,Slawomir Piatek,Laura Ferrarese,Andrés Jordán,Andrés Jordán,David Merritt,Eric W. Peng,Monica Hasegan,John P. Blakeslee,John P. Blakeslee,Simona Mei,Michael J. West,Milos Milosavljevic,Milos Milosavljevic,John L. Tonry +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey data set to examine the innermost structure of these galaxies and to characterize the properties of their compact central nuclei, showing that the nuclei are the low-mass counterparts of the supermassive black holes (SBHs) detected in the bright galaxies.

A Fundamental Relation between Compact Stellar Nuclei, Supermassive Black Holes, and Their Host Galaxies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine HST imaging for early-type galaxies from the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey with ground-based long-slit spectra from KPNO to show that the masses of compact stellar nuclei in Virgo cluster galaxies obey a tight correlation with the mass of the host galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proper motions of the large magellanic cloud and small magellanic Cloud: Re-analysis of hubble space telescope data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Hubble Space Telescope to measure proper motions of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellan Cloud (SMC) using images in 21 and five fields, respectively, all centered on known quasi-stellar objects (QSOs).
