The Fornax3D project: The assembly history of massive early-type galaxies in the Fornax cluster from deep imaging and integral field spectroscopy

M. Spavone, E. Iodice, G. D'Ago +16

This work is based on high quality integral-field spectroscopic data obtained with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the Very Large Telescope (VLT). The 21 brightest…

The MAGPI Survey -- science goals, design, observing strategy, early results and theoretical framework

C. Foster, J. T. Mendel, C. D. P. Lagos +40

We present an overview of the Middle Ages Galaxy Properties with Integral Field Spectroscopy (MAGPI) survey, a Large Program on ESO/VLT. MAGPI is designed to study the physical dri…

The GECKOS survey: Jeans anisotropic models of edge-on discs uncover the impact of dust and kinematic structures

T. H. Rutherford, A. Fraser-McKelvie, E. Emsellem +17

The central regions of disc galaxies host a rich variety of stellar structures: nuclear discs, bars, bulges, and boxy-peanut (BP) bulges. These components are often difficult to di…

The MAGPI Survey: Evidence Against the Bulge-Halo Conspiracy

C. Derkenne, R. M. McDermid, G. Santucci +14

Studies of the internal mass structure of galaxies have observed a `conspiracy' between the dark matter and stellar components, with total (stars dark) density profiles showing…

The Fornax3D project: Assembly histories of lenticular galaxies from a combined dynamical and population orbital analysis

A. Poci, R. M. McDermid, M. Lyubenova +14

Abridged for arXiv: In this work, we apply a powerful new technique in order to observationally derive accurate assembly histories through a self-consistent combined stellar dynami…

The GECKOS Survey: Identifying kinematic sub-structures in edge-on galaxies

A. Fraser-McKelvie, J. van de Sande, D. A. Gadotti +30

The vertical evolution of galactic discs is governed by the sub-structures within them. We examine the diversity of kinematic sub-structure present in the first 12 galaxies observe…
