Red & Dead CANDELS: massive passive galaxies at the dawn of the Universe
E. Merlin, F. Fortuni, M. Torelli +7
We search the five CANDELS fields (COSMOS, EGS, GOODS-North, GOODS-South and UDS) for passively evolving a.k.a. "red and dead" massive galaxies in the first 2 Gyr after the Big Ban…
Horizontal branch morphology: A new photometric parametrization
Marianna Torelli, Giacinto Iannicola, Peter B. Stetson +8
Theory and observations indicate that the distribution of stars along the horizontal branch of Galactic globular clusters mainly depends on the metal content. However, the existenc…
Passive galaxies in the early Universe: ALMA confirmation of z~3-5 candidates in the CANDELS GOODS-South field
P. Santini, E. Merlin, A. Fontana +7
The selection of red, passive galaxies in the early Universe is very challenging, especially beyond z~3, and it is crucial to constrain theoretical modelling of the processes respo…
unVEil the darknesS of The gAlactic buLgE (VESTALE)
G. Bono, M. Dall'Ora, M. Fabrizio +55
The main aim of this experiment is to provide a complete census of old (t > 10 Gyr, RR Lyrae, type II Cepheids, red horizontal branch), intermediate age (red clump, Miras) and youn…
A-PHOT: a new, versatile code for precision aperture photometry
E. Merlin, S. Pilo, A. Fontana +5
We present A-PHOT, a new publicly available code for performing aperture photometry on astronomical images, that is particularly well suited for multi-band extragalactic surveys. A…
Chasing passive galaxies in the early Universe: a critical analysis in CANDELS GOODS-South
E. Merlin, A. Fontana, M. Castellano +12
We search for passive galaxies at in the GOODS-South field, using different techniques based on photometric data, and paying attention to develop methods that are sensitive t…
