Probing dynamics of extreme galaxies I. Dark matter content in ultra-diffuse galaxies

Filippo Bouchè, Chiara Buttitta, Saboura Zamani +6

We investigate the internal structure of two galaxies from the LEWIS sample: the ultra-diffuse galaxy UDG-1 and the extended dwarf LSB-6. Both show coherent stellar rotation combin…

Advancing the detection of low surface brightness galaxies. I. ATTILA: multi-tAsking deTecTIon tool for Lsb gAlaxies

E. Borsato, F. Fonzo, N. Bellucco +15

Context. Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) lie at the extreme end of the size-luminosity distribution of low surface-brightness (LSB) galaxies. Their detection and characterization req…

Looking into the faintEst WIth MUSE (LEWIS): Exploring the nature of ultra-diffuse galaxies in the Hydra-I cluster IV. A study of the Globular Cluster population in four UDGs

Marco Mirabile, Michele Cantiello, Marina Rejkuba +20

As old stellar systems, globular clusters (GCs) are key fossil tracers of galaxy formation and interaction histories. This paper is part of the LEWIS project, an integral-field spe…

The dynamical state of bars in cluster dwarf galaxies: The cases of NGC 4483 and NGC 4516

V. Cuomo, L. Morelli, J. A. L. Aguerri +13

Dwarf barred galaxies are the perfect candidates for hosting slowly-rotating bars. They are common in dense environments and they have a relatively shallow potential well, making t…

A Milky Way-like barred spiral galaxy at a redshift of 3

Luca Costantin, Pablo G. Pérez-González, Yuchen Guo +30

The majority of massive disk galaxies in the local Universe show a stellar barred structure in their central regions, including our Milky Way. Bars are supposed to develop in dynam…

The bar rotation rate as a diagnostic of dark matter content in the centre of disc galaxies

C. Buttitta, E. M. Corsini, J. A. L. Aguerri +6

We investigate the link between the bar rotation rate and dark matter content in barred galaxies by concentrating on the cases of the lenticular galaxies NGC4264 and NGC4277. These…
