The GECKOS Survey: Extraplanar ionised gas in star-forming galaxies from eDIG to galaxy-scale winds

R. Elliott, D. B. Fisher, B. Mazzilli Ciraulo +19

We map the extraplanar gas, with 50-200 pc resolution, in nine star-forming galaxies using Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) observations from the GECKOS VLT Large Pro…

The GECKOS Survey: Resolved, multiphase observations of mass-loading and gas density in the galactic wind of NGC 4666

Barbara Mazzilli Ciraulo, D. B. Fisher, R. Elliott +24

We present a multiphase, resolved study of the galactic wind extending from the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 4666. For this we use VLT/MUSE observations from the GECKOS program and…

Scaling relations at the central regions of nearby galaxies

Patrícia da Silva, R. B. Menezes, T. V. Ricci +3

Scaling relations between galactic parameters represent key pieces of evidence for investigating the processes of galaxy formation and evolution. In most studies, these relations h…

The GECKOS survey: Jeans anisotropic models of edge-on discs uncover the impact of dust and kinematic structures

T. H. Rutherford, A. Fraser-McKelvie, E. Emsellem +17

The central regions of disc galaxies host a rich variety of stellar structures: nuclear discs, bars, bulges, and boxy-peanut (BP) bulges. These components are often difficult to di…

Extreme cloud collisions in nearby barred galaxies

Tutku Kolcu, Mattia C. Sormani, Witold Maciejewski +16

The inner regions of the Milky Way are known to contain an enigmatic population of prominent molecular clouds characterised by extremely broad lines. The physical origin of these '…

The GECKOS Survey: Identifying kinematic sub-structures in edge-on galaxies

A. Fraser-McKelvie, J. van de Sande, D. A. Gadotti +30

The vertical evolution of galactic discs is governed by the sub-structures within them. We examine the diversity of kinematic sub-structure present in the first 12 galaxies observe…
