The young nuclear stellar disc in the SB0 galaxy NGC 1023
E. M. Corsini, L. Morelli, N. Pastorello +3
Small kinematically-decoupled stellar discs with scalelengths of a few tens of parsec are known to reside in the centre of galaxies. Different mechanisms have been proposed to expl…
The properties and the formation mechanism of the stellar counter-rotating components in NGC 4191
Lodovico Coccato, Maximilian Fabricius, Lorenzo Morelli +7
We disentangle two counter-rotating stellar components in NGC 4191 and characterize their physical properties (kinematics, morphology, age, metallicity, and abundance ratio). We pe…
Fossil group origins V. The dependence of the luminosity function on the magnitude gap
S. Zarattini, J. A. L Aguerri, R. Sanchez-Janssen +11
In nature we observe galaxy aggregations that span a wide range of magnitude gaps between the two first-ranked galaxies of a system (). There are systems with gaps close t…
Fossil group origins - VI. Global X-ray scaling relations of fossil galaxy clusters
A. Kundert, F. Gastaldello, E. D'Onghia +11
We present the first pointed X-ray observations of 10 candidate fossil galaxy groups and clusters. With these Suzaku observations, we determine global temperatures and bolometric X…
Stellar populations of the bulges of four spiral galaxies
L. Morelli, A. Pizzella, E. M. Corsini +4
Key information to understand the formation and evolution of disk galaxies are imprinted in the stellar populations of their bulges. This paper has the purpose to make available ne…
