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…

Building the largest spectroscopic sample of ultra-compact massive galaxies with the Kilo Degree Survey
Diana Scognamiglio, Crescenzo Tortora, Marilena Spavone +14
Ultra-compact massive galaxies UCMGs, i.e. galaxies with stellar masses and effective radii kpc, are very rare systems, in partic…
