Formation of an ultra-diffuse galaxy in the stellar filaments of NGC3314A: caught in act?
Enrichetta Iodice, Antonio La Marca, Michael Hilker +13
The VEGAS imaging survey of the Hydra I cluster reveals an extended network of stellar filaments to the south-west of the spiral galaxy NGC3314A. Within these filaments, at a proje…
INSPIRE: INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics II. First Data Release (DR1)
C. Spiniello, C. Tortora, G. D'Ago +12
The INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics is an on-going project targeting 52 ultra-compact massive galaxies at 0.1<z<0.5 with the X-Shooter@VLT spectrograph (XSH). These obje…
INSPIRE: INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics -- I. Survey presentation and pilot program
C. Spiniello, C. Tortora, G. D'Ago +12
Massive ETGs are thought to form through a two-phase process. At early times, an intense and fast starburst forms blue and disk-dominated galaxies. After quenching, the remaining s…
Discovery of two Einstein crosses from massive post--blue nugget galaxies at z>1 in KiDS
N. R. Napolitano, R. Li, C. Spiniello +18
We report the discovery of two Einstein Crosses (ECs) in the footprint of the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS): KIDS J232940-340922 and KIDS J122456+005048. Using integral field spectrosc…
The first detection of ultra-diffuse galaxies in the Hydra I cluster from VEGAS survey
E. Iodice, M. Cantiello, M. Hilker +13
In this paper we report on the discovery of 27 low-surface brightness galaxies, of which 12 are candidate ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) in the Hydra I cluster, based on deep observati…
Nature versus nurture: relic nature and environment of the most massive passive galaxies at
C. Tortora, N. R. Napolitano, M. Radovich +13
Relic galaxies are thought to be the progenitors of high-redshift red nuggets that for some reason missed the channels of size growth and evolved passively and undisturbed since th…
