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…
Looking into the faintEst WIth MUSE (LEWIS): Exploring the nature of ultra-diffuse galaxies in the Hydra-I cluster. VI. A star-forming UDG in Hydra I: a rare UDG or a transition phase?
Luca Rossi, Chiara Buttitta, Goran Doll +21
This paper presents a detailed analysis of a gas-rich star-forming ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) as part of the ESO Large Programme 'Looking into the faintEst WIth MUSE (LEWIS)'. Amon…
Intracluster globular clusters as tracers of the mass assembly of the Hydra I galaxy cluster
Felipe S. Lohmann, Magda Arnaboldi, Michael Hilker +7
In galaxy clusters, hierarchical assembly predicts the formation of stellar substructures and intracluster light (ICL), a diffuse stellar component tracing the global cluster poten…
Looking into the faintEst WIth MUSE (LEWIS): on the nature of ultra-diffuse galaxies in the Hydra I cluster. V. Integrated stellar population properties
Goran Doll, Chiara Buttitta, Enrichetta Iodice +19
Context: This paper presents new results from the ESO Large Programme Looking into the faintEst WIth MUSE (LEWIS). The sample consists of low-surface brightness (LSB) and ultra-dif…
The Spatial Distribution of Intra-Cluster Globular Clusters in the Fornax Cluster
Raffaele D'Abrusco, Marco Mirabile, Michele Cantiello +6
We investigate the spatial distribution of the Intra-Cluster Globular Clusters (ICGCs) detected in the core of the Fornax galaxy cluster. By separately modeling different component…
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…
