Galaxies at the edges: a complete census of MACS J0416.1-2403 cluster

Rossella Ragusa, Maurizio D'Addona, Amata Mercurio +20

Numerous studies have established that the environment influences the physical properties of a galaxy. While gas inflows supply the fuel for SF, high density and temperature condit…

The velocity field of the Lyra complex

M. Girardi, W. Boschin, S. De Grandi +7

The formation of cosmic structure culminates with the assembly of galaxy clusters, a process quite different from cluster to cluster. We present the study of the structure and dyna…

Fossil group origins X. Velocity segregation in fossil systems

S. Zarattini, J. A. L. Aguerri, A. Biviano +3

We want to study how the velocity segregation and the radial profile of the velocity dispersion depend on the prominence of the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). We divide a sampl…

Mass distribution in the core of MACS J1206: robust modeling from an exceptionally large sample of central multiple images

G. B. Caminha, C. Grillo, P. Rosati +24

We present a new strong lensing analysis of the galaxy cluster MACS J1206.2-0847 (MACS 1206), at z=0.44, using deep spectroscopy from CLASH-VLT and VLT/MUSE archival data in combin…

A textbook example of ram-pressure stripping in the Hydra A/A780 cluster

S. De Grandi, D. Eckert, S. Molendi +7

In the current epoch, one of the main mechanisms driving the growth of galaxy clusters is the continuous accretion of group-scale halos. In this process, the ram pressure applied b…

CLASH-VLT: Strangulation of cluster galaxies in MACSJ0416.1-2403 as seen from their chemical enrichment

C. Maier, U. Kuchner, B. L. Ziegler +9

(abridged) We explore the Frontier Fields cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 at z=0.3972 with VIMOS/VLT spectroscopy from the CLASH-VLT survey covering a region which corresponds to almost…
