The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). II. A Catalog of Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
Laura Ferrarese, Patrick Cote, Lauren A. MacArthur +51
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) is a deep, high resolution imaging campaign that used the 1 deg MegaCam instrument on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to carr…
NGC 6397: The metallicity trend along the isochrone revisited
Rashi Jain, Philippe Prugniel, Lucimara Martins +1
Recent work has used spectra of about 5000 stars in NGC 6397 that were extracted from a MUSE mosaic to determine the atmospheric parameters for these stars by fitting the spectra a…
Faint Dwarf Galaxies in Hickson Compact Group 90
Yasna Ordenes-Briceño, Matthew A. Taylor, Thomas H. Puzia +11
We report the discovery of a very diverse set of five low-surface brightness (LSB) dwarf galaxy candidates in Hickson Compact Group 90 (HCG 90) detected in deep U- and I-band image…
The Survey of Centaurus A's Baryonic Structures (SCABS). II. The Extended Globular Cluster System of NGC5128 and its Nearby Environment
Matthew A. Taylor, Thomas H. Puzia, Roberto P. Muñoz +5
Wide-field Dark Energy Camera observations centred on the giant elliptical galaxy NGC5128 covering are used to compile a new catalogue of glob…
Flux calibration of medium-resolution spectra from 300 nm to 2500 nm: Model reference spectra and telluric correction
S. Moehler, A. Modigliani, W. Freudling +8
While the near-infrared wavelength regime is becoming more and more important for astrophysics there is a marked lack of spectrophotometric standard star data that would allow the…
The circumnuclear environment of NGC613: a nuclear starburst caught in the act?
J. Falcón-Barroso, C. Ramos Almeida, T. Böker +4
We present near-infrared (- and -band) integral-field observations of the inner 700pc of the active spiral galaxy NGC613, obtained with SINFONI on the Very Large Telesc…
Accounting for Stochastic Fluctuations when Analysing Integrated Light of Star Clusters. I: First Systematics
Morgan Fouesneau, Ariane Lançon
Star clusters are studied widely both as benchmarks for stellar evolution models and in their own right. Cluster age and mass distributions within galaxies are probes of star forma…
Pinning down the ram-pressure-induced halt of star formation in the Virgo cluster spiral galaxy NGC 4388. A joint inversion of spectroscopic and photometric data
C. Pappalardo, A. Lancon, B. Vollmer +3
In a galaxy cluster, the evolution of spiral galaxies depends on their cluster environment. Ram pressure due to the rapid motion of a spiral galaxy within the hot intracluster medi…
Near-infrared spectroscopy of AGB star candidates in Fornax, Sculptor and NGC 6822
M. A. T. Groenewegen, A. Lancon, M. Marescaux
Context: The Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) phase is characterised by substantial mass loss that is accompanied by the formation of dust. In extreme cases this will make the star no…
STEllar Content and Kinematics from high resolution galactic spectra via Maximum A Posteriori
P. Ocvirk, C. Pichon, A. Lancon +1
We introduce STECKMAP (STEllar Content and Kinematics via Maximum A Posteriori), a method to recover the kinematical properties of a galaxy simultaneously with its stellar content…
STELIB: a library of stellar spectra at R~2000
J. -F. Le Borgne, G. Bruzual, R. Pello +6
We present STELIB, a new spectroscopic stellar library, available at http://webast.ast.obs-mip.fr/stelib . STELIB consists of an homogeneous library of 249 stellar spectra in the v…
The FALCON concept: multi-object spectroscopy combined with MCAO in near-IR
F. Hammer, F. Sayède, E. Gendron +16
A large fraction of the present-day stellar mass was formed between z=0.5 and z~3 and our understanding of the formation mechanisms at work at these epochs requires both high spati…
