Hector Galaxy Survey: Falling in Between - Infalling Galaxies in the Midst of the Abell 3667 Merger

Oğuzhan Çakır, Matt Owers, Gabriella Quattropani +38

Whether cluster mergers enhance ram pressure stripping (RPS) and accelerate member galaxy evolution remains an open question. Here, we investigate galaxy populations in the nearby…

Overcoming the low signal-to-noise problem for hybrid mode-selective photonic lantern-based wavefront correction using machine learning

Nathan K Long, Barnaby Norris, Daniel S Dahl +10

Hybrid mode-selective photonic lanterns transform an input complex point-spread function into several single-mode outputs, where a selected core feeds the fundamental mode to a pho…

Hector Galaxy Survey: Linking the low- and high-mass ends of the initial mass function in star-forming galaxies

Diego Salvador, Andrew Hopkins, Matt Owers +30

The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is a fundamental ingredient in galaxy evolution, linking observed integrated light to galaxy properties. Constraining the full IMF shape bey…

Large-scale and local environmental drivers of quenching: tracing H concentration in X-ray and optical galaxy groups

Stefania Barsanti, Di Wang, Matthew Colless +11

To explore the environmental mechanisms causing quenching in nearby star-forming galaxies, we study the variation with local and large-scale environments of a star formation concen…

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Quenching of Star Formation in Clusters III. Ram-Pressure-Affected Galaxy Populations

Oğuzhan Çakır, Matt S. Owers, Luca Cortese +15

Cluster environments influence galaxy evolution by curtailing star formation activity, notably through ram-pressure stripping (RPS). In this study, using spatially resolved spectro…
