The diffuse extended outer regions of galaxies are hard to study because they are faint, with typical surface brightness of 1% of the dark night sky. We can tackle this problem by using resolved star tracers which remain visible at large distances from the galaxy centres. This article describes the use of Planetary Nebulae as tracers and the calibration of their properties as indicators of the star formation history, mean age and metallicity of the parent stars in the Milky Way and Local Group galaxies . We then report on the results from a deep, extended, planetary nebulae survey in a 0.5 sqdeg region centred on the brightest cluster galaxy NGC 4486 (M87) in the Virgo cluster core, carried out with SuprimeCam@Subaru and FLAMES-GIRAFFE@VLT. Two PN populations are identified out to 150 kpc distance from the centre of M87. One population is associated with the M87 halo and the second one with the intracluster light in the Virgo cluster core. They have different line-of-sight velocity and spatial distributions, as well as different planetary nebulae specific frequencies and luminosity functions. The intracluster planetary nebulae in the surveyed region correspond to a luminosity of four times the luminosity of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The M87 halo planetary nebulae trace an older, more metal-rich, parent stellar population. A substructure detected in the projected phase-space of the line-of-sight velocity vs. major axis distance for the M87 halo planetary nebulae provides evidence for the recent accretion event of a satellite galaxy with luminosity twice that of M33. The satellite stars were tidally stripped about 1 Gyr ago, and reached apocenter at a major axis distance of 60-90 kpc from the centre of M87. The M87 halo is still growing significantly at the distances where the substructure is detected.

本文介绍了对室女星系团中的球状星团(GCs)进行宽场光谱观测的结果。我们利用多镜望远镜的Hectospec获得了201颗GC和55颗超紧矮星的光谱,并推导了它们的径向速度。利用3D GMM方法对空间和径向速度分布进行了检验,确定了46个与室女座星系无关的真正的团内GC,它们位于距M87中心200 kpc $\lesssim$ R $\lesssim$ 500 kpc处。这些IGC的径向速度分布显示出两个峰值,一个在$v_{\rm r}$ = 1023 km s $^{-1}$处与室女座主体有关,另一个在$v_{\rm r}$ = 36 km s $^{-1}$处与坠落结构有关。室女座主体星系的速度色散为$σ_{\rm{GC}} \sim$ 314 km s $^{-1}$,与M87星系的速度色散曲线平滑相连,但远低于同一观测场中矮星系的速度色散曲线$σ_{\rm{dwarf}} \sim$ 608 km s $^{-1}$。UCD更集中在大质量星系M87、M86和M84上。UCD系统的径向速度色散比矮星系小得多。我们的研究结果证实了大规模分布的室女座IGCs由以前的光度调查。确认的IGCs的颜色分布显示出与M87 GCs相似的双峰性。这表明大多数IGC是从矮星系剥离出来的,有些是从室女座的大质量星系剥离出来的。
