The VMC survey -- XLI. Stellar proper motions within the Small Magellanic Cloud

F. Niederhofer, M. -R. L. Cioni, S. Rubele +13

We used data from the near-infrared VISTA survey of the Magellanic Cloud system (VMC) to measure proper motions (PMs) of stars within the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The data ana…

Gaia view of a stellar sub-structure in front of the Small Magellanic Cloud

Abinaya O. Omkumar, Smitha Subramanian, Florian Niederhofer +6

Recent observational studies identified a foreground stellar sub-structure traced by red clump (RC) stars (~ 12 kpc in front of the main body) in the eastern regions of the Small M…

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: A Range in S0 Properties Indicating Multiple Formation Pathways

Simon Deeley, Michael J. Drinkwater, Sarah M. Sweet +14

It has been proposed that S0 galaxies are either fading spirals or the result of galaxy mergers. The relative contribution of each pathway, and the environments in which they occur…

The VMC survey -- XXXVIII. Proper motion of the Magellanic Bridge

Thomas Schmidt, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni, Florian Niederhofer +14

The Magellanic Clouds are a nearby pair of interacting dwarf galaxies and satellites of the Milky Way. Studying their kinematic properties is essential to understanding their origi…

The assembly history of the nearest S0 galaxy NGC 3115 from its kinematics out to six half-light radii

Arianna Dolfi, Duncan A. Forbes, Warrick J. Couch +6

Using new and archival data, we study the kinematic properties of the nearest field S0 galaxy, NGC 3115, out to half-light radii () from its stars (integrat…

Classifying the formation processes of S0 galaxies using Convolutional Neural Networks

J. D. Diaz, Kenji Bekki, Duncan A. Forbes +3

Numerous studies have demonstrated the ability of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to classify large numbers of galaxies in a manner which mimics the expertise of astronomers.…
