INSPIRE: INvestigating Stellar Populations In RElics. IX. KiDS J0842+0059: the first fully confirmed relic beyond the local Universe
C. Tortora, G. Tozzi, G. Agapito +20
Relics are massive, compact and quiescent galaxies that assembled the majority of their stars in the early Universe and lived untouched until today, completely missing any subseque…
INSPIRE: INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics VIII. Emission lines and UV colours in ultra-compact massive galaxies
Chiara Spiniello, Mario Radovich, Anna Ferré-Mateu +13
We report the discovery of emission lines in the optical spectra of ultra-compact massive galaxies (UCMGs) from INSPIRE, including relics, which are the oldest galaxies in the Univ…
The catalogue of virtual early-type galaxies from IllustrisTNG: validation and real observation consistency
Pedro de Araujo Ferreira, Nicola R. Napolitano, Luciano Casarini +3
Early-type galaxies (ETGs) are reference systems to understand galaxy formation and evolution processes. The physics of their formation and internal dynamics are codified in well-k…
INSPIRE: INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics -- VII. The local environment of ultra-compact massive galaxies
Diana Scognamiglio, Chiara Spiniello, Mario Radovich +15
Relic galaxies, the oldest ultra-compact massive galaxies (UCMGs), contain almost exclusively "pristine" stars formed during an intense star formation (SF) burst at high redshift.…
INSPIRE: INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics VI -- The low-mass end slope of the stellar Initial Mass Function and chemical composition
Michalina Maksymowicz-Maciata, Chiara Spiniello, Ignacio Martín-Navarro +9
The INSPIRE project has built the largest sample of ultra-compact massive galaxies (UCMGs) at 0.1<z<0.4 and obtained their star formation histories (SFHs). Due to their preserved v…
Planetary nebulae populations in the haloes of nearby massive early-type galaxies
J. Hartke, M. Arnaboldi, O. Gerhard +8
Planetary nebulae (PNe) are excellent tracers of the metal-poor haloes of nearby early-type galaxies. They are commonly used to trace spatial distribution and kinematics of the hal…
