The WEAVE-TwiLight-Survey: Expanding WEAVE's Reach to Bright and Low-Surface-Density Targets with a Novel Observing Mode

Thomas Hajnik, Nicholas A. Walton, Giuseppe D'Ago +28

Current-day multi-object spectroscopic surveys are often limited in their ability to observe bright stars due to their low surface densities, resulting in increased observational o…

Optical spectral characterization of the gamma-ray blazars S4 0954+65, TXS 1515-273 and RX J0812.0+0237

J. Becerra González, J. A. Acosta-Pulido, W. Boschin +4

The study of gamma-ray blazars is usually hindered due to the lack of information on their redshifts and on their low energy photon fields. This information is key to understand th…

Fossil group origins: VIII RXJ075243.6+455653 a transitionary fossil group

J. A. L. Aguerri, A. Longobardi, S. Zarattini +3

It is thought that fossil systems are relics of structure formation in the primitive Universe. They are galaxy aggregations that have assembled their mass at high redshift with few…

Evolutionary paths among different red galaxy types at 0.3 < z < 1.5 and the late buildup of massive E-S0's through major mergers

Mercedes Prieto, M. Carmen Eliche-Moral, Marc Balcells +11

Some recent observations seem to disagree with hierarchical theories of galaxy formation about the role played by major mergers in the late buildup of massive E-S0's. We re-address…

The nature of growing bulges within z < 1.3 galaxy disks in the GOODS-N field

Lilian Dominguez-Palmero, Marc Balcells

We analyze central surface brightness mu_0, nuclear and global colors of intermediate redshift disk galaxies. On an apparent-diameter limited sample of 398 galaxies from ACS/HST Gr…

Bulges of disk galaxies at intermediate redshifts. I. Samples with and without bulges in the Groth Strip Survey

L. Dominguez-Palmero, M. Balcells, P. Erwin +4

We aim to define a sample of intermediate-z disk galaxies harbouring central bulges, and a complementary sample of disk galaxies without measurable bulges. We intend to provide col…
