Fornax 3D project: assessing the diversity of IMF and stellar population maps within the Fornax Cluster
I. Martín-Navarro, F. Pinna, L. Coccato +14
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is central to our interpretation of astronomical observables and to our understanding of most baryonic processes within galaxies. The univer…
The Fornax3D project: Planetary nebulae catalogue and independent distance measurements to Fornax cluster galaxies
T. W. Spriggs, M. Sarz, P. M. Galán-de Anta +17
Extragalactic planetary nebulae (PNe) offer a way to determine the distance to their host galaxies thanks to the nearly universal shape of the planetary nebulae luminosity function…
The Fornax 3D project: PNe populations and stellar metallicity in edge-on galaxies
P. M. Galán-de Anta, M. Sarzi, T. W. Spriggs +17
Context. Extragalactic Planetary Nebulae (PNe) are useful distance indicators and are often used to trace the dark-matter content in external galaxies. At the same time, PNe can al…
Diversity of nuclear star cluster formation mechanisms revealed by their star formation histories
K. Fahrion, M. Lyubenova, G. van de Ven +15
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are the densest stellar systems in the Universe and are found in the centres of all types of galaxies. They are thought to form via mergers of star clu…
The VST Early-type GAlaxy Survey (VEGAS) data release 1
E. Iodice, M. Spavone, M. A. Raj +3
We present the first data release (DR1) of the VST Early-type GAlaxy Survey (VEGAS). This is a deep multi-band (u'g'r'i') imaging survey, carried out with the ESO VLT Survey Telesc…
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…
