LSST Cadence Optimization White Paper: The Definitive Map of the Galactic bulge

Oscar A. Gonzalez, Will Clarkson, Victor P. Debattista +14

We recommend configuring the LSST coverage of the inner Galactic plane to allow the production of the definitive age/metallicity map of the Galactic bulge from LSST data, matched t…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. XXIII. Fundamentals of nuclear star clusters over seven decades in galaxy mass

R. Sánchez-Janssen, P. Côté, L. Ferrarese +25

Using deep, high resolution optical imaging from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey we study the properties of nuclear star clusters (NSCs) in a sample of nearly 400 quiescen…

The ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC 1052-DF2 with MUSE: I. Kinematics of the stellar body

Eric Emsellem, Remco F. J. van der Burg, Jeremy Fensch +14

The so-called ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC~1052-DF2 was announced to be a galaxy lacking dark matter based on a spectroscopic study of its constituent globular clusters. Here we presen…

From the inner Milky Way to Local Volume galaxies: resolved stellar populations with ELT-HARMONI

Oscar A. Gonzalez, Giuseppina Battaglia

We discuss the predicted performance of the HARMONI spectrograph and the ELT in the context of two specific science cases: resolved stellar populations of Local Volume galaxies and…
