Polar bulges and polar nuclear discs: the case of NGC 4698
E. M. Corsini, J. Méndez-Abreu, N. Pastorello +5
The early-type spiral NGC 4698 is known to host a nuclear disc of gas and stars which is rotating perpendicularly with respect to the galaxy main disc. In addition, the bulge and m…
Dating the formation of the counter-rotating stellar disc in the spiral galaxy NGC 5719 by disentangling its stellar populations
Lodovico Coccato, Lorenzo Morelli, Enrico Maria Corsini +4
We present the results of the VLT/VIMOS integral-field spectroscopic observations of the inner 28"x28" (3.1 kpc x 3.1 kpc) of the interacting spiral NGC 5719, which is known to hos…
Multiband photometric decomposition of nuclear stellar disks
L. Morelli, M. Cesetti, E. M. Corsini +4
Small and bright stellar disks with scale lengths of few tens of parsec are known to reside in the center of galaxies. They are believed to have formed in a dissipational process a…
The ultraviolet flare at the center of the elliptical galaxy NGC 4278
A. Cardullo, E. M. Corsini, A. Beifiori +5
A large fraction of otherwise normal galaxies shows a weak nuclear activity. One of the signatures of the low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) is the ultraviolet variabil…
Could the Fermi-LAT detect gamma-rays from dark matter annihilation in the dwarf galaxies of the Local Group?
L. Pieri, A. Pizzella, E. M. Corsini +2
The detection of gamma-rays from dark matter (DM) annihilation is among the scientific goals of the Fermi Large Area Telescope (formerly known as GLAST) and Cherenkov telescopes. I…
Upper Limits on the Masses of 105 Supermassive Black Holes from Hubble Space Telescope/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph Archival Data
A. Beifiori, M. Sarzi, E. M. Corsini +4
Based on the modeling of the central emission-line width measured over sub-arcsecond apertures with the Hubble Space Telescope, we present stringent upper bounds on the mass of the…
