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…

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…
