The Fornax Deep Survey (FDS) with the VST: IV. A size and magnitude limited catalog of dwarf galaxies in the area of the Fornax cluster
Aku Venhola, Reynier Peletier, Eija Laurikainen +20
The Fornax Deep Survey (FDS), an imaging survey in the u', g', r', and i'-bands, has a supreme resolution and image depth compared to the previous spatially complete Fornax Cluster…
VEGAS: A VST Early-type GAlaxy Survey. III. Mapping the galaxy structure, interactions and intragroup light in the NGC 5018 group
Marilena Spavone, Enrichetta Iodice, Massimo Capaccioli +8
Most of the galaxies in the Universe at present day are in groups, which are key to understanding the galaxy evolution. In this work we present a new deep mosaic of 1.2 x 1.0 squar…
The first sample of spectroscopically confirmed ultra-compact massive galaxies in the Kilo Degree Survey
C. Tortora, N. R. Napolitano, M. Spavone +25
We present results from an ongoing investigation using the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) on the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) to provide a census of ultra-compact massive galaxies (UCMGs)…
KiDS-SQuaD: The KiDS Strongly lensed Quasar Detection project
C. Spiniello, A. Agnello, N. R. Napolitano +11
New methods have been recently developed to search for strong gravitational lenses, in particular lensed quasars, in wide-field imaging surveys. Here, we compare the performance of…
The Fornax Cluster VLT Spectroscopic Survey II - Planetary Nebulae kinematics within 200 kpc of the cluster core
C. Spiniello, N. R. Napolitano, M. Arnaboldi +10
We present the largest and most spatially extended planetary nebulae (PNe) catalog ever obtained for the Fornax cluster. We measured velocities of 1452 PNe out to 200 kpc in the cl…
The Fornax Cluster VLT Spectroscopic Survey. I - VIMOS spectroscopy of compact stellar systems in the Fornax core region
V. Pota, N. R. Napolitano, M. Hilker +21
We present the results of a wide spectroscopic survey aimed at detecting extragalactic globular clusters (GCs) in the core of the Fornax cluster. About 4500 low resolution spectra…
