Issue Date: | 2015 | Journal: | THE MESSENGER | Number: | 159 | First Page: | 46 | Abstract: | The VEGAS-SSS programme is devoted to studying the properties of small stellar systems (SSSs) in and around bright galaxies, built on the VLT Survey Telescope early-type galaxy survey (VEGAS), an ongoing guaranteed time imaging survey distributed over many semesters (Principal Investigator: Capaccioli). On completion, the VEGAS survey will have collected detailed photometric information of ~ 100 bright early-type galaxies to study the properties of diffuse light (surface brightness, colours, surface brightness fluctuations, etc.) and the distribution of clustered light (compact ''small'' stellar systems) out to previously unreached projected galactocentric radii. VEGAS-SSS will define an accurate and homogeneous dataset that will have an important legacy value for studies of the evolution and transformation processes taking place in galaxies through the fossil information provided by SSSs. <P /> | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/23910 | URL: | https://www.eso.org/sci/publications/messenger/toc.html?v=159&m=Mar&y=15 | ISSN: | 0722-6691 | Bibcode ADS: | 2015Msngr.159...46C | Fulltext: | open |
