Euclid: Calibrating distances from surface brightness fluctuations with Early Release Observations of the Fornax cluster
R. Habas, M. Cantiello, G. Riccio +169
Surface brightness fluctuations (SBF), the pixel-to-pixel variations in flux that arise from the statistical distribution of stars in galaxy images, provide a powerful tool to meas…
VEGAS-SSS: Tracing Globular Cluster Populations in the Interacting NGC3640 Galaxy Group
Marco Mirabile, Michele Cantiello, Pratik Lonare +15
Globular clusters (GCs) are among the oldest stellar systems in the universe. As such, GCs population are valuable fossil tracers of galaxy formation and interaction history. We us…
A study of globular clusters in a lenticular galaxy in Hydra I from deep HST/ACS photometry
Nandini Hazra, Michele Cantiello, Gabriella Raimondo +4
We take advantage of exquisitely deep optical imaging data from HST/ACS in the F475W () and F606W () bands, to study the properties of the globular cluster (G…
A Precise Distance to the Host Galaxy of the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817 Using Surface Brightness Fluctuations
Michele Cantiello, J. B. Jensen, J. P. Blakeslee +25
The joint detection of gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation from the binary neutron star (BNS) merger GW170817 has provided unprecedented insight into a wide range of…
VEGAS-SSS II: Comparing the globular cluster systems in NGC3115 and NGC1399 using VEGAS and FDS survey data
Michele Cantiello, Raffaele D'Abrusco, Marilena Spavone +15
We analyze the globular cluster (GC) systems in two very different galaxies, N3115 and N1399. With the papers of this series, we aim at highlighting common and different properties…
The STREGA survey. II. Globular Cluster Palomar 12
I. Musella, M. Di Criscienzo, M. Marconi +17
In the framework of the STREGA (STRucture and Evolution of the GAlaxy) survey, two fields around the globular cluster Pal 12 were observed with the aim of detecting the possible pr…
