The Fornax Cluster VLT Spectroscopic Survey IV -- Cold kinematical substructures in the Fornax core from COSTA
N. R. Napolitano, M. Gatto, C. Spiniello +15
The COld STream finder Algorithm (COSTA) is a novel algorithm to find streams in the phase space of planetary nebulae (PNe) and globular cluster (GCs) populations. COSTA isolates g…
STEP Survey II: Structural Analysis of 170 star clusters in the SMC
M. Gatto, V. Ripepi, M. Bellazzini +9
We derived surface brightness profiles in the \emph{g} band for 170 Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) star clusters (SCs) mainly located in the central region of the galaxy. We provide…
The connection between star formation and supermassive Black Hole activity in the local Universe
Olena Torbaniuk, Maurizio Paolillo, Francisco Carrera +4
We present a study of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity in the local Universe (z < 0.33) and its correlation with the host galaxy properties, derived from a Sloan Digital…
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…
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…
Extending the variability selection of active galactic nuclei in the W-CDF-S and SERVS/SWIRE region
M. Poulain, M. Paolillo, D. De Cicco +14
Variability has proven to be a powerful tool to detect active galactic nuclei (AGN) in multi-epoch surveys. The new-generation facilities expected to become operational in the next…
