Euclid: Calibrating distances from surface brightness fluctuations with Early Release Observations of the Fornax cluster
R. Habas, M. Cantiello, G. Riccio +169
Surface brightness fluctuations (SBF), the pixel-to-pixel variations in flux that arise from the statistical distribution of stars in galaxy images, provide a powerful tool to meas…
From DES to KiDS: Domain adaptation for cross-survey detection of low-surface-brightness galaxies
Hareesh Thuruthipilly, Krzysztof Lisiecki, Junais +19
Low-surface-brightness galaxies (LSBGs) are vital for understanding galaxy formation, but their diffuse nature makes them challenging to detect. Upcoming large-scale surveys are ex…
FAST-SBF: an automatic procedure for the measurement of Surface Brightness Fluctuations for large sky surveys
Gabriele Riccio, Michele Cantiello, Rebecca Habas +9
The Surface Brightness Fluctuation method is one of the most reliable and efficient ways of measuring distances to galaxies within 100 Mpc. While recent implementations have increa…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
VEGAS-SSS: An intra-group component in the globular cluster system of NGC 5018 group of galaxies using VST data
Pratik Lonare, Michele Cantiello, Marco Mirabile +7
Globular clusters (GCs) are fossil tracer of formation and evolution of galaxies and studying their properties provides crucial insights into past formation and interaction events.…
Rubin ToO 2024: Envisioning the Vera C. Rubin Observatory LSST Target of Opportunity program
Igor Andreoni, Raffaella Margutti, John Banovetz +86
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) at Vera C. Rubin Observatory is planned to begin in the Fall of 2025. The LSST survey cadence has been designed via a community-driven pr…
VEGAS-SSS: Tracing Globular Cluster Populations in the Interacting NGC3640 Galaxy Group
Marco Mirabile, Michele Cantiello, Pratik Lonare +15
Globular clusters (GCs) are among the oldest stellar systems in the universe. As such, GCs population are valuable fossil tracers of galaxy formation and interaction history. We us…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). III. A Catalog of Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distances and the Three-Dimensional Distribution of Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
Michele Cantiello, John P. Blakeslee, Patrick Côté +9
The surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) method is a robust and efficient way of measuring distances to galaxies containing evolved stellar populations. Although many recent applic…
Gathering Galaxy Distances in Abundance with Roman Wide-Area Data
John P. Blakeslee, Michele Cantiello, Michael J. Hudson +5
The extragalactic distance scale is fundamental to our understanding of astrophysics and cosmology. In recent years, the surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) method, applied in the…
Cosmological coupling of nonsingular black holes
M. Cadoni, A. P. Sanna, M. Pitzalis +4
We show that -- in the framework of general relativity (GR) -- if black holes (BHs) are singularity-free objects, they couple to the large-scale cosmological dynamics. We find that…
Science with the Einstein Telescope: a comparison of different designs
Marica Branchesi, Michele Maggiore, David Alonso +73
The Einstein Telescope (ET), the European project for a third-generation gravitational-wave detector, has a reference configuration based on a triangular shape consisting of three…
A study of globular clusters in a lenticular galaxy in Hydra I from deep HST/ACS photometry
Nandini Hazra, Michele Cantiello, Gabriella Raimondo +4
We take advantage of exquisitely deep optical imaging data from HST/ACS in the F475W () and F606W () bands, to study the properties of the globular cluster (G…
Probing the shot behaviour in Cygnus X-1 using simultaneous AstroSat-NICER observation
Yash Bhargava, Nandini Hazra, A. R. Rao +4
We analyse the aperiodic flaring features, also known as shots, observed in Cyg X-1 in the 0.1-80 keV energy band using a 6.39 ks simultaneous observation with AstroSat and NICER.…
