Tracing the relic nature of compact galaxies through their globular cluster systems

Micheli T. Moura, Ana L. Chies-Santos, Cristina Furlanetto +6

We investigate the synthetic model of globular cluster (GC) systems of 17 compact massive galaxies (CMGs) from the Illustris TNG100 simulation to explore their connection with mass…

ILLUSTRating red nugget assembly through observations and simulations

Micheli T. Moura, Anna Ferré-Mateu, Ana L. Chies-Santos +2

The properties of massive and compact early-type galaxies provide important constraints on early galaxy formation. Among these, massive relic galaxies, characterized by old stellar…

Distinguishing the formation paths of massive compact ETGs through their internal dynamical structures

Ling Zhu, Ana L. Chies-Santos, Micheli Trindade Moura +1

Massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) are thought to form in two phases: an initial phase of rapid star formation and a later phase of mergers. A small fraction of these galaxies, cal…

The internal dynamics and environments of Relics and compact massive ETGs with TNG50

Micheli T. Moura, Ana L. Chies-Santos, Cristina Furlanetto +2

Relic galaxies are massive, compact, quiescent objects observed in the local Universe that have not experienced any significant interaction episodes or merger events since about $z…

Simulations of the merging galaxy cluster Abell 2034: what determines the level of separation between gas and dark matter

Micheli T. Moura, Rubens E. G. Machado, Rogério Monteiro-Oliveira

Cluster mergers are an important laboratory for studying the behaviour of dark matter (DM) and intracluster gas. There are dissociative collisions that can separate the intracluste…

The dynamical state of Abell 2399: a bullet-like cluster

Ana C. C. Lourenço, P. A. A. Lopes, T. F. Laganá +8

While there are many ways to identify substructures in galaxy clusters using different wavelengths, each technique has its own caveat. In this paper, we conduct a detailed substruc…
