The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). II. A Catalog of Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster

Laura Ferrarese, Patrick Cote, Lauren A. MacArthur +51

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) is a deep, high resolution imaging campaign that used the 1 deg MegaCam instrument on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to carr…

Euclid: Calibrating distances from surface brightness fluctuations with Early Release Observations of the Fornax cluster

R. Habas, M. Cantiello, G. Riccio +169

Surface brightness fluctuations (SBF), the pixel-to-pixel variations in flux that arise from the statistical distribution of stars in galaxy images, provide a powerful tool to meas…

MOSAIC at ELT: Design and First Prototyping of Novel Robotic Optical-Relay Positioners

Maxime Rombach, Markus Thurneysen, Lucas Ortolani +27

The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is, to date, the most ambitious ground-based telescope under construction. MOSAIC is a multi-objects spectrograph (MOS) that aims to make full u…

The Pristine Dwarf Galaxy Survey -- VII. The metallicity distributions of 12 Milky Way faint satellites

S. Taibi, P. Jablonka, N. Longeard +10

Spectroscopic studies of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies are typically limited to small samples of stars due to the scarcity of sufficiently bright targets. The small number statistics…

Bulgeless Evolution And the Rise of Discs (BEARD) II. The role of mergers in shaping the Milky Way analogues in TNG50

Yetli Rosas-Guevara, Jairo Méndez-Abreu, Adriana de Lorenzo-Cáceres +20

We study the formation and evolution of bulgeless galaxies within the Milky Way-Andromeda analogue sample of the TNG50 simulation. Through kinematic decomposition with Mordor, we i…

The primordial nature of the C-19 stellar stream

Kim A. Venn, Zhen Yuan, Nicolas F. Martin +32

Stellar streams, remnants of compact star systems stretched out by the tidal forces of the Milky Way, offer a unique way to study stellar populations that formed billions of years…
