The Zurich Environmental Study (ZENS) of Galaxies in Groups along the Cosmic Web. V. Properties and Frequency of Merging Satellites and Centrals in Different Environments
A. Pipino, A. Cibinel, S. Tacchella +6
We use the Zurich ENvironmental Study (ZENS) database to investigate the environmental dependence of the merger fraction and merging galaxy properties in a sample of ~1300 grou…
The hunt for the Milky Way's accreted disc
Gregory R. Ruchti, Justin I. Read, Sofia Feltzing +2
The Milky Way is expected to host an accreted disc of stars and dark matter. This forms as massive >1:10 mergers are preferentially dragged towards the disc plane by dynamical fric…
On the relation between sSFR and metallicity
A. Pipino, S. J. Lilly, C. M. Carollo
In this paper we present an exact general analytic expression linking the gas metallicity Z to the specific star formation rate (sSFR), that validates a…
ZENS IV. Similar Morphological Changes associated with Mass- and Environment-Quenching, and the Relative importance of Bulge Growth versus the Fading of Disks
C. M. Carollo, A. Cibinel, S. J. Lilly +6
We use ZENS data at low redshift to study the dependence of the quenched satellite fraction and of the morphological mix of these quenched satellites, on three different environmen…
The dust content of QSO hosts at high redshift
F. Calura, R. Gilli, C. Vignali +3
Infrared observations of high-z quasar (QSO) hosts indicate the presence of large masses of dust in the early universe. When combined with other observables, such as neutral gas ma…
Galactic and Cosmic Type Ia SN rates: is it possible to impose constraints on SNIa progenitors?
I. Bonaparte, F. Matteucci, S. Recchi +3
We compute the Type Ia supernova rates in typical elliptical galaxies by varying the progenitor models for Type Ia supernovae. To do that a formalism which takes into account the d…
