Radial velocities and metallicities have been measured for 82 RR Lyrae identified by the QUEST survey in the direction of the Virgo constellation. Distributed over 90 sq. deg. of the sky, they lie from 4 to 23 kpc from the Sun. Using an…

We report the discovery of three large (R29 >~ 1 arcminute) extremely low surface brightness (mu_(V,0) ~ 27.0) galaxies identified using our deep, wide-field imaging of the Virgo Cluster from the Burrell Schmidt telescope. Complementary…

The distance of the Virgo cluster is derived in the B band from the 21 cm-line width-absolute magnitude relation. The latter is calibrated using 18 spirals with Cepheid distances mainly from HST. The calibration is applied to a complete…

We present three-dimensional space velocities of stars selected to be consistent with membership in the Virgo stellar substructure. Candidates were selected from SA 103, a single 40x40 arcmin field from our proper motion (PM) survey in…

Ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have the sizes of giant galaxies but the luminosities of dwarfs. A key to understanding their origins comes from their total masses, but their low surface brightnesses ($\mu(V) \geq$ 25.0) generally prohibit…

By virtue of its proximity, the Virgo Cluster is an ideal laboratory for testing our understanding structure formation in the Universe. In this spirit, we present a dynamical study Virgo galaxies as part of the Spectroscopic and H-band…

The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey consists of HST ACS imaging for 100 early-type galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, observed in the F475W and F850LP filters. We derive distances for 84 of these galaxies using the method of surface brightness…

We undertook a surface photometry survey of 200 galaxies in the Virgo cluster (complete to B<14.0 mag) carried out in the near-Infrared (NIR) H band. Combining velocity dispersion measurements from the literature with new spectroscopic data…

We present observations of an HI cloud complex most likely located in the Virgo galaxy cluster, first reported by Kent et al. (2007). The complex consists of five clouds, detected in the data set of the ALFALFA extragalactic HI survey at…

New observations of 16 dwarf elliptical galaxies in the Virgo Cluster indicate that at least seven dEs have significant velocity gradients along their optical major axis, with typical rotation amplitudes of 20-30 km/s. Of the remaining nine…
