Fueling and feedback mechanisms at the nodes of the cosmic web

M. Polletta, G. De Lucia, A. R. Gallazzi +1

The environment plays a key role in shaping how galaxies form and evolve. Galaxies in dense nodes of the cosmic web are thought to grow and quench earlier, and faster and become mo…

A big step forward with SHARP: spatially resolved stellar population properties in passive galaxies at z > 1.5

A. Gargiulo, C. Mancini, F. R. Ditrani +6

Understanding when and how massive quiescent galaxies (log(M*/Msun) > 10.5) assembled their stellar mass and quenched remains a central challenge in galaxy evolution. Spatially res…

Probing IMF Variations in High-Redshift Early-Type Galaxies with SHARP

F. La Barbera, G. De Lucia, F. Ditrani +9

The stellar initial mass function (IMF), which describes the distribution of stellar masses at birth, is a fundamental ingredient in shaping galaxy evolution. Recent observations i…

A SHARP Look at Quenching and Bulge-Disk Growth in Massive Galaxies at Cosmic Noon

Chiara Mancini, Adriana Gargiulo, Alvio Renzini +11

The physical mechanisms that quench star formation in massive galaxies remain poorly understood. At cosmic noon (1<z<3), when star formation and AGN activity peak, galaxies rapidly…

SHARP -- A spectrograph proposal to fully exploit ELT capabilities and look beyond JWST

P. Saracco, P. Conconi, C. Arcidiacono +47

The Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs), with their large apertures and cutting-edge Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) systems, promise to deliver data that is both sharper and…

A novel data-driven approach to extract stellar population properties from galaxy spectra using absorption indices

Zahra Sharbaf, Ignacio Ferreras, Anna R. Gallazzi +3

In an era of highly complex machine learning methods that often are informative but not straightforward to interpret, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) offers a simple, easily int…
