A big step forward with SHARP: spatially resolved stellar population properties in passive galaxies at z > 1.5
A. Gargiulo, C. Mancini, F. R. Ditrani +6
Understanding when and how massive quiescent galaxies (log(M*/Msun) > 10.5) assembled their stellar mass and quenched remains a central challenge in galaxy evolution. Spatially res…
Probing IMF Variations in High-Redshift Early-Type Galaxies with SHARP
F. La Barbera, G. De Lucia, F. Ditrani +9
The stellar initial mass function (IMF), which describes the distribution of stellar masses at birth, is a fundamental ingredient in shaping galaxy evolution. Recent observations i…
A SHARP Look at Quenching and Bulge-Disk Growth in Massive Galaxies at Cosmic Noon
Chiara Mancini, Adriana Gargiulo, Alvio Renzini +11
The physical mechanisms that quench star formation in massive galaxies remain poorly understood. At cosmic noon (1<z<3), when star formation and AGN activity peak, galaxies rapidly…
Morpho-kinematic of galaxies at cosmic noon
F. Rigamonti, F. R. Ditrani
Recent studies of local galaxies highlight the need for high-resolution photometry and kinematics to accurately characterize galactic structures. From this, limitations emerged in…
Feeding the Dead: Neutral Gas Inflow in a Long-Quenched Ancient Massive Galaxy at Observed with JWST/NIRSpec
Davide Bevacqua, Danilo Marchesini, Paolo Saracco +16
We report the spectroscopic detection of neutral gas inflow into a massive () quiescent galaxy observed at with JWST. F…
Decomposing the growth mechanisms of galaxies over the last 10 billion years
Luke J. M. Davies, Annagrazia Puglisi, Marcella Longhetti +10
Determining how galaxies accumulate stellar mass is paramount to understanding the Universe. Two primary mechanisms drive this process: star-formation (SF) & mergers. Our understan…
