Euclid: Calibrating distances from surface brightness fluctuations with Early Release Observations of the Fornax cluster
R. Habas, M. Cantiello, G. Riccio +169
Surface brightness fluctuations (SBF), the pixel-to-pixel variations in flux that arise from the statistical distribution of stars in galaxy images, provide a powerful tool to meas…
From DES to KiDS: Domain adaptation for cross-survey detection of low-surface-brightness galaxies
Hareesh Thuruthipilly, Krzysztof Lisiecki, Junais +19
Low-surface-brightness galaxies (LSBGs) are vital for understanding galaxy formation, but their diffuse nature makes them challenging to detect. Upcoming large-scale surveys are ex…
FAST-SBF: an automatic procedure for the measurement of Surface Brightness Fluctuations for large sky surveys
Gabriele Riccio, Michele Cantiello, Rebecca Habas +9
The Surface Brightness Fluctuation method is one of the most reliable and efficient ways of measuring distances to galaxies within 100 Mpc. While recent implementations have increa…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
VEGAS-SSS: An intra-group component in the globular cluster system of NGC 5018 group of galaxies using VST data
Pratik Lonare, Michele Cantiello, Marco Mirabile +7
Globular clusters (GCs) are fossil tracer of formation and evolution of galaxies and studying their properties provides crucial insights into past formation and interaction events.…
Rubin ToO 2024: Envisioning the Vera C. Rubin Observatory LSST Target of Opportunity program
Igor Andreoni, Raffaella Margutti, John Banovetz +86
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) at Vera C. Rubin Observatory is planned to begin in the Fall of 2025. The LSST survey cadence has been designed via a community-driven pr…
