The evolution of early-type galaxies in clusters from z~ 0.8 to z~ 0: the ellipticity distribution and the morphological mix
Benedetta Vulcani, Bianca M. Poggianti, Alan Dressler +10
We present the ellipticity distribution and its evolution for early-type galaxies in clusters from z~0.8 to z~0, based on the WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey (WINGS)(0.04<z…
Galaxy stellar mass functions of different morphological types in clusters, and their evolution between z=0.8 and z=0
Benedetta Vulcani, Bianca M. Poggianti, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca +11
We present the galaxy stellar mass function (MF) and its evolution in clusters from z~0.8 to the current epoch, based on the WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey (WINGS) (0.04<z…
An update of the on-sky performance of the Layer-Oriented wave-front sensor for MAD
Carmelo Arcidiacono, Matteo Lombini, Alessia Moretti +5
The Multi-conjugate Adaptive optics Demonstrator, MAD, successfully demonstrated on sky the MCAO technique both in Layer Oriented and Star Oriented modes. As results of the Guarant…
Superdense massive galaxies in the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS)
T. Valentinuzzi, B. M. Poggianti, R. P. Saglia +9
We find a significant number of massive and compact galaxies in clusters from the ESO Distant Clusters Survey (EDisCS) at 0.4<z<1. They have similar stellar masses, ages, sizes and…
A decline and fall in the future of Italian Astronomy?
Angelo Antonelli, Vincenzo Antonuccio-Delogu, Andrea Baruffolo +89
On May 27th 2010, the Italian astronomical community learned with concern that the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) was going to be suppressed, and that its employees wer…
The Shapes of BCGs and normal Ellipticals in Nearby Clusters
G. Fasano, D. Bettoni, B. Ascaso +13
We compare the apparent axial ratio distributions of Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) and normal ellipticals (Es) in our sample of 75 galaxy clusters from the WINGS survey. Most B…
