Remnants of massive metal-poor stars: viable engines for ultra-luminous X-ray sources
M. Mapelli, E. Ripamonti, L. Zampieri +1
Massive metal-poor stars might end their life by directly collapsing into massive (~25-80 Msun) black holes (BHs). We derive the number of massive BHs (N_BH) that are expected to f…
Blue straggler stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies II: Sculptor and Fornax
M. Mapelli, E. Ripamonti, G. Battaglia +4
The existence of blue straggler stars (BSSs) in dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) is still an open question. In fact, many BSS candidates have been observed in the Local Group dSph…
Are ring galaxies the ancestors of giant low surface brightness galaxies?
M. Mapelli, B. Moore
Giant low surface brightness galaxies (GLSBs), such as Malin 1, have unusually large and flat discs. Their formation is a puzzle for cosmological simulations in the cold dark matte…
Are ring galaxies the ancestors of giant low surface brightness galaxies?
M. Mapelli, B. Moore, E. Ripamonti +4
Giant low surface brightness galaxies (GLSBs) have flat discs extending up to ~100 kpc. Their formation is a puzzle for cosmological simulations in the cold dark matter scenario. W…
The origin of lopsidedness in galaxies
M. Mapelli, B. Moore, J. Bland-Hawthorn
It has long been known that a large fraction of disc galaxies are lopsided. We simulate three different mechanisms that can induce lopsidedness: flyby interactions, gas accretion f…
Lopsided galaxies: the case of NGC 891
M. Mapelli, B. Moore, J. Bland-Hawthorn
It has been known for a long time that a large fraction of disc galaxies are lopsided. We simulate three different mechanisms that can induce lopsidedness: flyby interactions, gas…
