Eight New Ultramassive Black Hole Masses confirm Best Correlation with Galaxy Core Sizes
Stefano de Nicola, Jens Thomas, Roberto P. Saglia +3
We analyse black-hole scaling relations at the high-mass end, focusing in particular on the regime of ultra-massive black holes, $\mathrm{M}_\mathrm{BH} > 10^{10}\,\mathrm{M}_\odot…

We derive the band galaxy luminosity function (GLF) of quenched resolved galaxies in the Coma cluster from a deep-imaging survey with around the c…
The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
SDSS Collaboration, Gautham Adamane Pallathadka, Mojgan Aghakhanloo +210
Mapping the local and distant Universe is key to our understanding of it. For decades, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has made a concerted effort to map millions of celestial…
Photometric analysis of the intracluster light in the TNG300 simulation and wide-field observations
Daniel Montenegro-Taborda, Vicente Rodriguez-Gomez, Vladimir Avila-Reese +5
We present a robust, apples-to-apples comparison between the photometric properties of the intracluster light (ICL) in the TNG300 magnetohydrodynamic cosmological simulation and th…
Modeling Tidal Streams and Tidal Tails around Galaxies Using Deep Wendelstein Imaging Data
Jan-Niklas Pippert, Matthias Kluge, Ralf Bender
From the cold dark matter paradigm it is expected that galaxies merge and grow in their environments. These processes form various tidal features depending on the merger mass r…
The VIRUS-dE Survey I: Stars in dwarf elliptical galaxies - 3D dynamics and radially resolved stellar initial mass functions
Mathias Lipka, Jens Thomas, Roberto Saglia +9
We analyse the stellar structure of a sample of dwarf ellipticals (dE) inhabiting various environments within the Virgo cluster. Integral-field observations with a high spectral re…
Triaxial Schwarzschild Models of NGC 708: a 10-billion solar mass black hole in a low dispersion galaxy with a Kroupa IMF
Stefano de Nicola, Jens Thomas, Roberto P. Saglia +3
We report the discovery of a M Supermassive Black Hole (BH) at the centre of NGC 708, the Brightest Cluster Galaxy of Abell 262. Such high B…
Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies A Distinct Population? Dwarf Galaxies in the Coma Cluster and A262 from Deep Wendelstein Imaging Data
Raphael Zöller, Matthias Kluge, Benjamin Staiger +1
In this study, we compare the structural parameters of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) to those of other dwarf galaxies and investigate whether UDGs form a distinct population. We ob…
Central radio galaxies in galaxy clusters: Joint surveys by eROSITA and ASKAP
K. Böckmann, M. Brüggen, B. Koribalski +18
The extended ROentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array (eROSITA) telescope onboard the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) mission has finished the first eROSITA All-Sky Survey (eR…
Composite Bulges -- III. A Study of Nuclear Star Clusters in Nearby Spiral Galaxies
Aishwarya Ashok, Anil Seth, Peter Erwin +17
We present photometric and morphological analyses of nuclear star clusters (NSCs) -- very dense, massive star clusters present in the central regions of most galaxies -- in a sampl…
The eROSITA Final Equatorial-Depth Survey (eFEDS): A Machine Learning Approach to Infer Galaxy Cluster Masses from eROSITA X-ray Images
Sven Krippendorf, Nicolas Baron Perez, Esra Bulbul +15
We develop a neural network based pipeline to estimate masses of galaxy clusters with a known redshift directly from photon information in X-rays. Our neural networks are trained u…
Minor Mergers are not enough: The importance of Major Mergers during Brightest Cluster Galaxy assembly
Matthias Kluge, Ralf Bender
We investigate the roles of major and minor mergers during brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) assembly using surface brightness profiles, line indices, and fundamental plane relations.…
