OMEGA -- OSIRIS Mapping of Emission-line Galaxies in A901/2 -- V. The rich population of jellyfish galaxies in the multi-cluster system Abell 901/2

Fernanda V. Roman-Oliveira, Ana L. Chies-Santos, Bruno Rodríguez del Pino +3

We present the results of a systematic search and characterisation of jellyfish galaxy candidates in the multi-cluster system A901/2, at z ~ 0.165, as part of the OMEGA survey. By…

OMEGA - OSIRIS Mapping of Emission-line Galaxies in A901/2: IV. - Extinction of Star-Formation Estimators with Inclination

Christian Wolf, Tim Weinzirl, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca +6

We study the effect of inclination on the apparent brightness of star-forming galaxies in spectral passbands that are commonly used as star-formation indicators. As diagnostics we…

Galaxy Cluster Mass Reconstruction Project - IV. Understanding the effects of imperfect membership on cluster mass estimation

R. Wojtak, L. Old, G. A. Mamon +17

The primary difficulty in measuring dynamical masses of galaxy clusters from galaxy data lies in the separation between true cluster members from interloping galaxies along the lin…

Galaxy Zoo: constraining the origin of spiral arms

Ross E. Hart, Steven P. Bamford, William C. Keel +4

Since the discovery that the majority of low-redshift galaxies exhibit some level of spiral structure, a number of theories have been proposed as to why these patterns exist. A pop…
