Beyond the Disc--Spheroid Dichotomy at : Evidence for a Morphological Indeterminacy Regime from JWST

Igor Kolesnikov, Reinaldo Ramos de Carvalho, Jeong Hwan Lee +3

Galaxy morphology is a fundamental tracer of galaxy assembly, but its characterization becomes increasingly uncertain in the early Universe. We investigate morphological classifica…

The assembly of bulge-dominated galaxies: two evolutionary channels traced through morphology, kinematics, and environment with a hybrid classification pipeline

R. Flores-Freitas, R. R. de Carvalho, K. V. Nedkova +3

We investigate the physical origin of the bimodality in bulge-dominated galaxies, originally identified by Sampaio et al. (2025), by combining non-parametric morphological metrics,…

Black holes in the low-mass galaxy regime: imprint of AGN feedback on the circumgalactic medium of central dwarf galaxies

R. Flores-Freitas, D. Wylezalek, M. Trevisan +7

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) have been observed in dwarf galaxies, yet the impact of black hole feedback in these low-mass systems remains unclear. To uncover the potential effects…

Low surface brightness dwarf galaxies and their globular cluster populations around the low-density environment of our closest S0 NGC3115

Marco A. Canossa-Gosteinski, Ana L. Chies-Santos, Cristina Furlanetto +12

Understanding faint dwarf galaxies is fundamental to the development of a robust theory of galaxy formation on small scales. Since the discovery of a population of ultra diffuse ga…

Compact groups of dwarf galaxies in TNG50: late hierarchical assembly and delayed stellar build-up in the low-mass regime

Rodrigo Flores-Freitas, Marina Trevisan, Maitê Mückler +3

Compact groups of dwarf galaxies (CGDs) have been observed at low redshifts () and are direct evidence of hierarchical assembly at low masses. To understand the formation of…

Relic galaxy analogues in Illustris TNG50: the formation pathways of surviving red nuggets in a cosmological simulation

Rodrigo Flores-Freitas, Ana L. Chies-Santos, Cristina Furlanetto +4

Relic galaxies are massive compact quiescent galaxies that formed at high-redshift and remained almost unchanged since then. In this work, we search for analogues to relic galaxies…

The Puzzling Origin of Massive Compact Galaxies in MaNGA

A. Schnorr-Müller, M. Trevisan, R. Riffel +7

We characterized the kinematics, morphology, and stellar population (SP) properties of a sample of massive compact quiescent galaxies (MCGs, /$M_\odot \le…

Globular Cluster Systems of Relic Galaxies

Karla A. Alamo-Martínez, Ana L. Chies-Santos, Michael A. Beasley +6

We analyse the globular cluster (GC) systems of a sample of 15 massive, compact early-type galaxies (ETGs), 13 of which have already been identified as good relic galaxy candidates…
