An evolutionary continuum from nucleated dwarf galaxies to star clusters
Kaixiang Wang, Eric W. Peng, Chengze Liu +21
Systematic studies have revealed hundreds of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in the nearby Universe. With half-light radii of approximately 10-100 parsecs and stellar mas…
The creation of a massive UCD by tidal threshing from NGC 936
Sanjaya Paudel, Pierre-Alain Duc, Sungsoon Lim +9
We study a compact nucleus embedded in an early-type dwarf galaxy, MATLAS-167, which is in the process of disruption by the tidal force of the neighboring giant S0 galaxy, NGC 936,…
Radial velocities and stellar population properties of 56 MATLAS dwarf galaxies observed with MUSE
Nick Heesters, Oliver Müller, Francine R. Marleau +6
Dwarf galaxies have been extensively studied in the Local Group, in nearby groups, and selected clusters, giving us a robust picture of their global stellar and dynamical propertie…
The Pristine Dwarf-Galaxy survey -- V. The edges of the dwarf galaxy Hercules
Nicolas Longeard, Pascale Jablonka, Giuseppina Battaglia +6
We present a new spectroscopic study of the dwarf galaxy Hercules (d ~ 132 kpc) with data from the Anglo-Australian Telescope and its AAOmega spectrograph together with the Two Deg…
The ESO's Extremely Large Telescope Working Groups
Paolo Padovani, Michele Cirasuolo, Remco van der Burg +82
Since 2005 ESO has been working with its community and industry to develop an extremely large optical/infrared telescope. ESO's Extremely Large Telescope, or ELT for short, is a re…
