The truncation of the disk of NGC 4565: Detected up to z=4 kpc, with star formation, and affected by the warp

Cristina Martinez-Lombilla, Raul Infante-Sainz, Felipe Jimenez-Ibarra +5

Context: The hierarchical model of galaxy formation suggests that galaxies are continuously growing. However, our position inside the Milky Way prevents us from studying the disk e…

Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): Comparing Visually and Spectroscopically Identified Galaxy Merger Samples

Alice Desmons, Sarah Brough, Cristina Martínez-Lombilla +3

We conduct a comparison of the merging galaxy populations detected by a sample of visual identification of tidal features around galaxies as well as spectroscopically-detected clos…

Discovery of disc truncations above the galaxies' mid-plane in Milky Way-like galaxies

Cristina Martinez-Lombilla, Ignacio Trujillo, Johan H. Knapen

Disc truncations are the closest feature to an edge that galaxies have, but the nature of this phenomena is not yet understood. In this paper, we explore the truncations in two nea…
