Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Resolved Stellar Populations Studies in M31 and its Satellites
C. Gallart, E. Fernández-Alvar, A. B. A. Queiroz +48
A 30 m class optical/near-IR telescope in the Northern Hemisphere, equipped for diffraction-limited imaging and high-resolution, multi-object spectroscopy of faint stars, would ena…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Mapping formation pathways of nuclear star clusters across galaxies
Francesca Pinna, Isabel Pérez, Anna Ferré-Mateu +21
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are dense, compact stellar systems only a few parsecs across, located at galaxy centers. Their small sizes make them difficult to resolve spatially. NS…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Ultra-Low-Mass Dwarf Galaxies Across the Boreal Cosmic Web
J. Alfonso L. Aguerri, Jesús Falcón-Barroso, María Argudo-Fernández +22
Dwarf galaxies dominate the galaxy population in the nearby Universe and occupy the regime where feedback, reionization, and environment exert their strongest influence on galaxy f…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Shaping Galaxies and Their Stars with Stellar Population Gradients, IMF Variations and Environmental Drivers in Cluster Early-Type Galaxies
A. Vazdekis, P. Sánchez-Blázquez, A. Ferré-Mateu +23
This white paper highlights how stellar population gradients, chemical abundance patterns, stellar initial mass function (IMF) variations, and structural signatures in early-type g…
The Nuclear Star Cluster of M 74: a fossil record of the very early stages of a star-forming galaxy
Francesca Pinna, Nils Hoyer, Jairo Méndez Abreu +13
Nuclear star clusters (NSC) are dense and compact stellar systems, of sizes of few parsecs, located at galactic centers. Their properties and formation mechanisms seem to be tightl…
Azimuthal offsets in spiral arms of nearby galaxies
Miguel Querejeta, Sharon E. Meidt, Yixian Cao +28
Spiral arms play a central role in disc galaxies, but their dynamical nature remains a long-standing open question. Azimuthal offsets between molecular gas and star formation are e…
