The Kiloparsec Scale Influence of the AGN in NGC 1068 with SALT RSS Fabry-Pérot Spectroscopy
Raphael E. Hviding, Ryan Hickox, P. Väisänen +2
We present Fabry-Pérot (FP) imaging and longslit spectroscopy of the nearby Seyfert II galaxy NGC 1068 using the Robert Stobie Spectrograph (RSS) on the Southern African Large Tele…
The SUNBIRD survey: the K-band luminosity functions of young massive clusters in intensely star-forming galaxies
Z. Randriamanakoto, P. Vaisanen, P. Ranaivomanana +5
Strongly star-forming galaxies are prolific in producing the young and most massive star clusters (YMCs) still forming today. This work investigates the star cluster luminosity fun…
Core-collapse supernova subtypes in luminous infrared galaxies
E. Kankare, A. Efstathiou, R. Kotak +34
We present the discovery and follow-up observations of two CCSNe that occurred in the luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG), NGC3256. The first, SN2018ec, was discovered using the ESO HA…
A SALT Spectral Study of S0s Hosting Pseudobulges
Kaustubh Vaghmare, Sudhanshu Barway, Petri Väisänen +3
We present a SALT-RSS spectroscopic study of a sample of S0 galaxies established by Vaghmare et al. (2015) as having pseudobulges using a combination of photometric criteria. We ex…
Star formation and AGN activity in a sample of local Luminous Infrared Galaxies through multi-wavelength characterization
Rubén Herrero-Illana, Miguel Á. Pérez-Torres, Zara Randriamanakoto +8
Nuclear starbursts and AGN activity are the main heating processes in luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) and their relationship is fundamental to understand galaxy evolution. In th…
Shutting down or powering up a (U)LIRG? Merger components in distinctly different evolutionary states in IRAS 19115-2124 (The Bird)
P. Väisänen, J. Reunanen, J. Kotilainen +4
We present new SINFONI near-infrared integral field unit (IFU) spectroscopy and SALT optical long-slit spectroscopy characterising the history of a nearby merging luminous infrared…
High proper motion objects towards the inner Milky Way: characterisation of newly identified nearby stars from the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea Survey
M. Gromadzki, R. Kurtev, J. C. Beamin +10
The census of the Solar neighbourhood is still incomplete, as demonstrated by recent discoveries of many objects within 5-10 pc from the Sun. The area around the mid-plane and bulg…
