Characterization of Omega-WINGS galaxy clusters. I. Stellar light and mass profiles
Stefano Cariddi, Mauro D'Onofrio, Giovanni Fasano +5
Galaxy clusters are the largest virialized structures in the observable Universe. The knowledge of their properties provides many useful astrophysical and cosmological information.…
Ram pressure feeding super-massive black holes
Bianca M. Poggianti, Yara L. Jaffé, Alessia Moretti +10
When supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies accrete matter (usually gas), they give rise to highly energetic phenomena named Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). A number of p…
GASP IV: A muse view of extreme ram-pressure stripping in the plane of the sky: the case of jellyfish galaxy JO204
Marco Gullieuszik, Bianca M. Poggianti, Alessia Moretti +10
In the context of the GAs Stripping Phenomena in galaxies with Muse (GASP) survey, we present the characterization of JO204, a jellyfish galaxy in A957, a relatively low-mass clust…
Structural and dynamical modeling of WINGS clusters. I. The distribution of cluster galaxies of different morphological classes within regular and irregular clusters
Antonio Cava, Andrea Biviano, Gary A. Mamon +8
[Abridged] We use the WINGS database to select a sample of 67 nearby galaxy clusters with at least 30 spectroscopic members each. 53 of these clusters do not show evidence of subst…
The concentration-mass relation of clusters of galaxies from the OmegaWINGS survey
A. Biviano, A. Moretti, A. Paccagnella +8
The relation between a cosmological halo concentration and its mass (cMr) is a powerful tool to constrain cosmological models of halo formation and evolution. On the scale of galax…
GASP VIII: Capturing the birth of a Tidal Dwarf Galaxy in a merging system at z~0.05
Benedetta Vulcani, Alessia Moretti, Bianca M. Poggianti +6
Within the GAs Stripping Phenomena in galaxies with MUSE (GASP) sample, we identified an ongoing 1:1 merger between two galaxies and the consequent formation of a tidal dwarf galax…
GASP I: Gas stripping phenomena in galaxies with MUSE
Bianca M. Poggianti, Alessia Moretti, Marco Gullieuszik +15
GASP (GAs Stripping Phenomena in galaxies with MUSE) is a new integral-field spectroscopic survey with MUSE at the VLT aiming at studying gas removal processes in galaxies. We pres…
GASP II. A MUSE view of extreme ram-pressure stripping along the line of sight: kinematics of the jellyfish galaxy JO201
C. Bellhouse, Y. L. Jaffe, G. K. T. Hau +11
This paper presents a spatially-resolved kinematic study of the jellyfish galaxy JO201, one of the most spectacular cases of ram-pressure stripping (RPS) in the GASP (GAs Stripping…
GASP III. JO36: a case of multiple environmental effects at play?
Jacopo Fritz, Alessia Moretti, Marco Gullieuszik +12
The so-called jellyfish galaxies are objects exhibiting disturbed morphology, mostly in the form of tails of gas stripped from the main body of the galaxy. Several works have stron…
OmegaWINGS: The first complete census of post starburst galaxies in clusters in the local universe
A. Paccagnella, B. Vulcani, B. M. Poggianti +10
Galaxies that abruptly interrupt their star formation in < 1.5 Gyr present recognizable features in their spectra (no emission and Hd in absorption) and are called post starburst (…
OmegaWINGS: spectroscopy in the outskirts of local clusters of galaxies
A. Moretti, M. Gullieuszik, B. Poggianti +9
Studies of the properties of low-redshift cluster galaxies suffer, in general, from small spatial coverage of the cluster area. WINGS, the most homogeneous and complete study of ga…
