KiDS J1447-0149: The first spatially resolved spectroscopy of a relic galaxy beyond the local universe. An old high-dispersion core embedded in a compact rotating stellar structure
Johanna Hartke, Chiara Spiniello, Michele Cappellari +13
Relic galaxies are the descendants of high-redshift compact quiescent systems. We present the first spatially resolved spectroscopic study of J1447-0149, a massive relic at $z=0.21…
Growing in number, passive in nature: tracing the evolution of the most massive quiescent galaxies since z ~ 0.8 with BOSS and DESI
F. R. Ditrani, M. Fossati, M. Longhetti +5
Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) are among the most massive galaxies at any epoch, and lack ongoing star formation. As systems hosting most of the baryonic mass in the local Universe,…
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…
INSPIRE: INvestigating Stellar Populations In RElics. IX. KiDS J0842+0059: the first fully confirmed relic beyond the local Universe
C. Tortora, G. Tozzi, G. Agapito +20
Relics are massive, compact and quiescent galaxies that assembled the majority of their stars in the early Universe and lived untouched until today, completely missing any subseque…
INSPIRE: INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics VIII. Emission lines and UV colours in ultra-compact massive galaxies
Chiara Spiniello, Mario Radovich, Anna Ferré-Mateu +13
We report the discovery of emission lines in the optical spectra of ultra-compact massive galaxies (UCMGs) from INSPIRE, including relics, which are the oldest galaxies in the Univ…
TP-AGB stars and stellar population properties of a post-starburst galaxy at through optical and NIR spectroscopy with JWST
Davide Bevacqua, Paolo Saracco, Francesco La Barbera +11
We present a detailed optical and NIR spectral analysis of J-138717, a post-starburst galaxy at observed with JWST/NIRSpec, for which we derive a stellar mass of $3.5…
INSPIRE: INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics -- VII. The local environment of ultra-compact massive galaxies
Diana Scognamiglio, Chiara Spiniello, Mario Radovich +15
Relic galaxies, the oldest ultra-compact massive galaxies (UCMGs), contain almost exclusively "pristine" stars formed during an intense star formation (SF) burst at high redshift.…
A new perspective on the stellar Mass-Metallicity Relation of quiescent galaxies from the LEGA-C survey
D. Bevacqua, P. Saracco, A. Boecker +7
We investigate the stellar Mass-Metallicity Relation (MZR) using a sample of 637 quiescent galaxies with 10.4 <= log(M*/M ) < 11.7 selected from the LEGA-C survey at 0.6 <= z <= 1.…
INSPIRE: INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics VI -- The low-mass end slope of the stellar Initial Mass Function and chemical composition
Michalina Maksymowicz-Maciata, Chiara Spiniello, Ignacio Martín-Navarro +9
The INSPIRE project has built the largest sample of ultra-compact massive galaxies (UCMGs) at 0.1<z<0.4 and obtained their star formation histories (SFHs). Due to their preserved v…
INSPIRE: INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics V. A catalogue of ultra-compact massive galaxies outside the local Universe and their degree of relicness
C. Spiniello, G. D'Ago, L. Coccato +18
This paper presents the third data release of the INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics (INSPIRE) project, comprising 52 ultra-compact massive galaxies (UCMGs) observed with t…
The elemental abundances of quiescent galaxies in the LEGA-C survey: the (non-)evolution of [α/Fe] from z = 0.75 to z = 0
Davide Bevacqua, Paolo Saracco, Francesco La Barbera +6
We measure the [/Fe] abundances for 183 quiescent galaxies at z = 0.60 - 0.75 with stellar masses ranging 10.4 \leq log10 10.4 log10 (M /M) 11.6 select…
INSPIRE: INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics III. Second data release (DR2): testing the systematics on the stellar velocity dispersion
G. D'Ago, C. Spiniello, L. Coccato +15
This is the second data release (DR2) of the INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics (INSPIRE) project, comprising 21 new systems with observations completed before March 2022.…
The star formation history and the nature of the mass-metallicity relation of passive galaxies at 1.0<z<1.4 from VANDELS
Paolo Saracco, Francesco La Barbera, Roberto De Propris +9
We derived stellar ages and metallicities [Z/H] for 70 passive early type galaxies (ETGs) selected from VANDELS survey over the redshift range 1.01.4 and stellar mas…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: Integral-field kinematics and stellar population of a sample of galaxies with counter-rotating stellar disks selected from about 4000 galaxies
