The vast thin plane of M31 co-rotating dwarfs: an additional fossil signature of the M31 merger and of its considerable impact in the whole Local Group
François Hammer, Yanbin Yang, Sylvain Fouquet +5
The recent discovery by Ibata et al. (2013) of a vast thin disk of satellites (VTDS) around M31 offers a new challenge for the understanding of the Local Group properties. This com…
Loops formed by tidal tails as fossil records of a major merger
J. Wang, F. Hammer, E. Athanassoula +3
Many haloes of nearby disc galaxies contain faint and extended features, including loops, which are often interpreted as relics of satellite infall in the main galaxy's potential w…
The Milky Way and other spiral galaxies
F. Hammer, M. Puech, H. Flores +3
Cosmologists have often considered the Milky Way as a typical spiral galaxy, and its properties have considerably influenced the current scheme of galaxy formation. Here we compare…
The Evolution of the Baryonic Tully-Fisher Relation over the past 6 Gyr
M. Puech, F. Hammer, H. Flores +3
Scaling relations are salient ingredients of galaxy evolution and formation models. I summarize results from the IMAGES survey, which combines spatially-resolved kinematics from FL…
Extreme Starbursts in the Local Universe
R. M. Gonzalez Delgado, J. Rodriguez Zaurin, E. Perez +44
The "Extreme starbursts in the local universe" workshop was held at the Insituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia in Granada, Spain on 21-25 June 2010. Bearing in mind the advent of a n…
The star formation histories of red and blue low surface brightness disk galaxies
G. H. Zhong, Y. C. Liang, F. Hammer +3
We study the star formation histories (SFH) and stellar populations of 213 red and 226 blue nearly face-on low surface brightness disk galaxies (LSBGs), which are selected from the…
