Hidden mass in early galaxies revealed by bottom-heavy initial mass functions

Chloe M. Cheng, Martje Slob, Mariska Kriek +21

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations have revealed that massive galaxies formed and evolved faster than predicted by galaxy formation models, with many having already ass…

The relic galaxy NGC~1277 rules out intermediate-age stellar populations origin of CO-strong absorptions in massive early-type galaxies

Elham Eftekhari, Francesco La Barbera, Alexandre Vazdekis +1

Massive Early-Type Galaxies (ETGs) show several strong CO absorption features in their H- and K-band spectra that cannot be explained by state-of-the-art stellar population models.…

Strong CO Absorption Features in Massive ETGs

Elham Eftekhari, Francesco La Barbera, Alexandre Vazdekis +2

Massive Early-Type Galaxies (ETG) in the local Universe are believed to be the most mature stage of galaxy evolution. Their stellar population content reveals the evolutionary hist…

Fingerprints of Stellar Populations in the Near-Infrared: An Optimised Set of Spectral Indices in the JHK-Bands

Elham Eftekhari, Alexandre Vazdekis, Francesco La Barbera

Stellar population studies provide unique clues to constrain galaxy formation models. So far, detailed studies based on absorption line strengths have mainly focused on the optical…

Reconstructing the mass accretion histories of nearby Red Nuggets with their globular cluster systems

Michael A. Beasley, Ryan Leaman, Ignacio Trujillo +6

It is generally recognized that massive galaxies form through a combination of in-situ collapse and ex-situ accretion. The in-situ component forms early, where gas collapse and com…

Comparing IMF-sensitive indices of intermediate-mass quiescent galaxies in various environments

Elham Eftekhari, Moein Mosleh, Alexandre Vazdekis +1

Using samples drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we study for the first time the relation between large-scale environments (Clusters, Groups and Voids) and the stellar Initia…
