NGC 5746: formation history of a massive disc-dominated galaxy
Marie Martig, Francesca Pinna, Jesús Falcón-Barroso +6
The existence of massive galaxies lacking a classical bulge has often been proposed as a challenge to CDM. However, recent simulations propose that a fraction of massive disc ga…
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…
Local variations of the Stellar Velocity Ellipsoid-I: the disc of galaxies in the Auriga simulations
Daniel Walo-Martín, Isabel Pérez, Robert J. J. Grand +3
The connection between the Stellar Velocity Ellipsoid (SVE) and the dynamical evolution of galaxies has been a matter of debate in the last years and there is no clear consensus wh…
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…
Resolved nuclear kinematics link the formation and growth of nuclear star clusters with the evolution of their early and late-type hosts
Francesca Pinna, Nadine Neumayer, Anil Seth +7
We present parsec-scale kinematics of eleven nearby galactic nuclei, derived from adaptive-optics assisted integral-field spectroscopy at (near-infrared) CO band-head wavelengths.…
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 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…
AlFoCS + F3D II: unexpectedly low gas-to-dust ratios in the Fornax galaxy cluster
Nikki Zabel, Timothy A. Davis, Matthew W. L. Smith +14
We combine observations from ALMA, ATCA, MUSE, andHerschel to study gas-to-dust ratios in 15 Fornax cluster galaxies detected in the FIR/sub-mm by Herschel and observed by ALMA as…
