The galaxy environment in GAMA G3C groups using the Kilo Degree Survey Data Release 3

M. V. Costa-Duarte, M. Viola, A. Molino +13

We aim to investigate the galaxy environment in GAMA Galaxy Groups Catalogue (G3C) using a volume-limited galaxy sample from the Kilo Degree Survey Data Release 3. The k-Nearest Ne…

Constraints on cosmic strings using data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1042

Cosmic strings are topological defects which can be formed in GUT-scale phase transitions in the early universe. They are also predicted to form in the context of string theory. Th…

On the Progenitor of Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1095

On 2017 August 17 the merger of two compact objects with masses consistent with two neutron stars was discovered through gravitational-wave (GW170817), gamma-ray (GRB 170817A), and…

Intra-cluster patches of baryons in the core of the Fornax cluster

E. Iodice, M. Spavone, M. Cantiello +12

In the core of the Fornax cluster, on the West side of NGC1399, we have detected a previously unknown region of intra-cluster light (ICL). It is made up by several faint ($μ_r \sim…
