Fossil Group Origins VII. Galaxy substructures in fossil systems
S. Zarattini, M. Girardi, J. A. L. Aguerri +9
Fossil groups are expected to be the final product of galaxy merging within galaxy groups. In simulations, they are predicted to assemble their mass at high redshift. This early fo…
CLASH-VLT: Dissecting the Frontier Fields Galaxy Cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 with Spectra of Member Galaxies
I. Balestra, A. Mercurio, B. Sartoris +33
We present VIMOS-VLT spectroscopy of the Frontier Fields cluster MACS~J0416.1-2403 (z=0.397). Taken as part of the CLASH-VLT survey, the large spectroscopic campaign provided more…
Luminosity functions in the CLASH-VLT cluster MACS J1206.2-0847: the importance of tidal interactions
A. Mercurio, M. Annunziatella, A. Biviano +10
We present the optical luminosity functions (LFs) of galaxies for the CLASH-VLT cluster MACS J1206.2-0847 at z=0.439, based on HST and SUBARU data, including ~600 spectroscopically…
CLASH-VLT: Environment-driven evolution of galaxies in the z=0.209 cluster Abell 209
M. Annunziatella, A. Mercurio, A. Biviano +19
The analysis of galaxy properties and the relations among them and the environment, can be used to investigate the physical processes driving galaxy evolution. We study the cluster…
A multiwavelength view of the galaxy cluster Abell 523 and its peculiar diffuse radio source
M. Girardi, W. Boschin, F. Gastaldello +7
We study the structure of the galaxy cluster Abell 523 (A523) at z=0.104 using new spectroscopic data for 132 galaxies acquired at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo, new photometric…
Fossil group origins V. The dependence of the luminosity function on the magnitude gap
S. Zarattini, J. A. L Aguerri, R. Sanchez-Janssen +11
In nature we observe galaxy aggregations that span a wide range of magnitude gaps between the two first-ranked galaxies of a system (). There are systems with gaps close t…
