VEGAS-SSS: An intra-group component in the globular cluster system of NGC 5018 group of galaxies using VST data
Pratik Lonare, Michele Cantiello, Marco Mirabile +7
Globular clusters (GCs) are fossil tracer of formation and evolution of galaxies and studying their properties provides crucial insights into past formation and interaction events.…
Stellar Halos of Bright Central Galaxies: A View from the FEGA Semi-Analytic Model of Galaxy Formation and VEGAS Survey
Emanuele Contini, Marilena Spavone, Rossella Ragusa +2
We present theoretical predictions and extrapolations from observed data of the stellar halos surrounding central group/cluster galaxies and the transition radius between them and…
VST-SMASH: the VST Survey of Mass Assembly and Structural Hierarchy
Crescenzo Tortora, Rossella Ragusa, Massimiliano Gatto +21
The VLT Survey Telescope Survey of Mass Assembly and Structural Hierarchy (VST-SMASH) aims to detect tidal features and remnants around very nearby galaxies, a unique and essential…
Galaxy populations in the Hydra I cluster from the VEGAS survey III. The realm of low surface brightness features and intra-cluster light
Marilena Spavone, Enrichetta Iodice, Felipe S. Lohmann +10
In this paper, we analyse the light distribution in the Hydra I cluster of galaxies to explore their low surface brightness features, measure the intra-cluster light, and address t…
VEGAS-SSS: Tracing Globular Cluster Populations in the Interacting NGC3640 Galaxy Group
Marco Mirabile, Michele Cantiello, Pratik Lonare +15
Globular clusters (GCs) are among the oldest stellar systems in the universe. As such, GCs population are valuable fossil tracers of galaxy formation and interaction history. We us…
The YMCA (Yes, Magellanic Clouds Again) survey: probing the outer regions of the Magellanic system with VST
Massimiliano Gatto, Vincenzo Ripepi, Michele Bellazzini +9
The Magellanic Clouds (MCs) are the Milky Way's most massive dwarf satellites. As they also represent the closest pair of galaxies in an ongoing tidal interaction, while simultaneo…
