Deep spectroscopic luminosity function of Abell 85: no evidence for a steep upturn of the faint-end slope
I. Agulli, J. A. L. Aguerri, R. Sánchez-Janssen +4
We present a new deep determination of the spectroscopic LF within the virial radius of the nearby and massive Abell\,85 (A85) cluster down to the dwarf regime (M* + 6) using VLT/V…
Revisiting the Impact of Atmospheric Dispersion and Differential Refraction on Widefield Multiobject Spectroscopic Observations. From VLT/VIMOS to Next Generation Instruments
Rubén Sánchez-Janssen, Steffen Mieske, Fernando Selman +5
(Abridged) Atmospheric dispersion and field differential refraction impose severe constraints on widefield MOS observations. Flux reduction and spectral distortions must be minimis…
Fossil Groups Origins III. Characterization of the sample and observational properties of fossil systems
S. Zarattini, R. Barrena, M. Girardi +15
(Abridged) Fossil systems are group- or cluster-sized objects whose luminosity is dominated by a very massive central galaxy. In the current cold dark matter scenario, these object…
Fossil Groups Origins III. The relation between optical and X-ray luminosities
M. Girardi, J. A. L. Aguerri, S. De Grandi +11
This study is part of the FOssil Groups Origin (FOGO) project which aims at carrying out a systematic and multiwavelength study of a large sample of fossil systems. Here we focus o…
The Morphological Transformation of Red-Sequence Galaxies in the Distant Cluster XMMU J1229+0151
P. Cerulo, W. J. Couch, C. Lidman +5
We present the results of a detailed analysis of galaxy properties along the red sequence in XMMU J1229+0151, an X-ray selected cluster at drawn from the HAWK-I Cluster Su…
