Unlocking the physics of dwarf galaxies in the 2040s: The case for a next-generation wide-field spectroscopic facility with fibres and IFUs
Crescenzo Tortora, Daniela Carollo, Leslie Hunt +25
Dwarf galaxies () are the most numerous galaxies in the Universe and critical probes of dark matter, baryonic feedback, and galaxy formation. D…
SHARP: Beyond JWST -- Revealing the galaxy birth and growth with the resolution of the ELT
P. Saracco, P. Conconi, C. Arcidiacono +37
A deep understanding of the life-cycle of galaxies, particularly those of high mass, requires clarifying the mechanisms that regulate star formation (SF) and its abrupt shutdown (q…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: A Low Surface Brightness Science Case
Mireia Montes, Ignacio Trujillo, David Martínez Delgado +27
The Extragalactic Low Surface Brightness (LSB, mag/arcsec) Universe represents a crucial, yet largely unseen, frontier in modern astrophysics. This faint realm…
The Spatial Distribution of Intra-Cluster Globular Clusters in the Fornax Cluster
Raffaele D'Abrusco, Marco Mirabile, Michele Cantiello +6
We investigate the spatial distribution of the Intra-Cluster Globular Clusters (ICGCs) detected in the core of the Fornax galaxy cluster. By separately modeling different component…
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…
Euclid: Early Release Observations of diffuse stellar structures and globular clusters as probes of the mass assembly of galaxies in the Dorado group
M. Urbano, P. -A. Duc, T. Saifollahi +160
Deep surveys reveal tidal debris and associated compact stellar systems. Euclid's unique combination of capabilities (spatial resolution, depth, and wide sky coverage) will make it…
