Strong Lensing Tomography: Double and pseudo multi-source plane strong gravitational lensing to constrain dark energy
Paras Sharma, Simon Birrer, Narayan Khadka +12
Tomographic measurements of gravitational lensing with different lens and source redshift distributions contain crucial information about the universe's relative expansion rate, an…
Reconciling the Fundamental Plane of Early-Type Galaxies with hydrodynamical simulations: The case of IllustrisTNG100-1
Pedro de Araujo Ferreira, Nicola R. Napolitano, Crescenzo Tortora +2
The Fundamental Plane (FP) of Early-Type Galaxies (ETGs) encapsulates a tight correlation among their structural and dynamical properties and provides an important benchmark for ga…
Kinematically cold and warm planetary nebulae samples, HII regions and supernovae remnants in the disc of the face-on spiral galaxy NGC 628 (M74) -- The Planetary Nebulae Spectrograph with the H arm
Magda Arnaboldi, Ortwin Gerhard, Surya Aniyan +14
We present the results for the galaxy NGC 628 observed with the Planetary Nebulae Spectrograph (PN.S) equipped with the H arm. With the third PN.S arm, the H arm, we measur…
Unlocking the physics of dwarf galaxies in the 2040s: The case for a next-generation wide-field spectroscopic facility with fibres and IFUs
Crescenzo Tortora, Daniela Carollo, Leslie Hunt +25
Dwarf galaxies () are the most numerous galaxies in the Universe and critical probes of dark matter, baryonic feedback, and galaxy formation. D…
Using Deep Learning Methods to Detect for Ultra-diffuse Galaxies in KiDS
Hao Su, Rui Li, Nicola R. Napolitano +13
Ultra-diffuse Galaxies (UDGs) are a subset of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies (LSBGs), showing mean effective surface brightness fainter than and a d…
Optical+NIR analysis of a Newly Confirmed Einstein ring at z1 from the Kilo-Degree Survey: Dark matter fraction, total and dark matter density slope and IMF
Rui Li, Nicola R. Napolitano, Giuseppe D Ago +16
We report the spectroscopic confirmation of a bright blue Einstein ring in the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) footprint: the Einstein ``blue eye''. Spectroscopic data from X-Shooter at…
