Hubble Space Telescope Imaging of Globular Clusters in Two Face-On Low Surface Brightness Galaxies UGC 5981 and UGC 6614

Kim, Ji Hoon

We present a study searching for globular cluster systems (GCSs) of two face-on low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs), UGC 5981 and UGC 6614. Based on HST WFPC2 images of F555W and F814W filters, we detect 12 and 18 GC candidates for UGC 5981 and UGC 6614, respectively. Although these two LSBGs have very different bulge properties, they have ver…

The Properties of the Stellar Nuclei with the Host Galaxy Morphology in the ACSVCS

Lee, Hyun-Chul

We have revisited the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey (ACSVCS), a Hubble Space Telescope program to obtain ACS/WFC g and z bands imaging for a sample of 100 early-type galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. In this study, we examine 51 nucleated early-type galaxies in the ACSVCS in order to look into the relationship between the photometric and structural proper…
