Understanding the processes that shape and influence the centers of galaxies is crucial to understanding galaxies as a whole. In particular, data suggests nuclear star clusters are three times more common than previously thought and there is evidence to suggest that they may be the low-mass analogues to the supermassive black holes found in more luminous galaxies. My research focuses on the cores of early-type galaxies and how they relate, influence, and respond to processes occurring in the rest of the galaxy. I will present new results from the ACS Virgo and Fornax Cluster Surveys that shed light on these questions.
