Formation of S0s in extreme environments I: clues from kinematics and stellar populations

Lodovico Coccato, Yara L. Jaffé, Arianna Cortesi +8

Despite numerous efforts, it is still unclear whether lenticular galaxies (S0s) evolve from spirals whose star formation was suppressed, or formed trough mergers or disk instabilit…

J-PLUS: the impact of bars on quenching time-scales in nearby green valley disc galaxies

J. P. Nogueira-Cavalcante, R. Dupke, P. Coelho +28

In a framework where galaxies mostly migrate on the colour-magnitude diagram from star-forming to quiescent, the green valley is considered a transitional galaxy stage. The details…

The Odd Offset between the Galactic Disk and Its Bar in NGC 3906

Bonita de Swardt, Kartik Sheth, Taehyun Kim +27

We use mid-infrared 3.6 and 4.5microns imaging of NGC 3906 from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) to understand the nature of an unusual offset between its…

The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (SG): Precise Stellar Mass Distributions from Automated Dust Correction at 3.6 microns

M. Querejeta, S. E. Meidt, E. Schinnerer +26

The mid-infrared is an optimal window to trace stellar mass in nearby galaxies and the 3.6 IRAC band has been exploited to this effect, but such mass estimates can be biased by…
