GASP. VII. Gas accretion onto an isolated galaxy

B. Vulcani, B. M. Poggianti, A. Moretti +7

Theoretically, inflowing filaments of gas are one of the main causes of growth for a galaxy. Nonetheless, observationally, probing ongoing gas accretion is challenging. As part of…

GASP. V. Ram-pressure stripping of a ring Hoag's-like galaxy in a massive cluster

A. Moretti, B. M. Poggianti, M. Gullieuszik +8

Through an ongoing MUSE program dedicated to study gas removal processes in galaxies (GAs Stripping Phenomena in galaxies with MUSE, GASP), we have obtained deep and wide integral…

MAORY science cases white book

G. Fiorentino, M. Bellazzini, P. Ciliegi +9

MAORY is the Adaptive Optic (AO) module that will be installed at the E-ELT at the first light of the telescope. It will provide two different types of AO correction, a very high c…

Back to the green valley: how to rejuvenate an S0 galaxy through minor mergers

Michela Mapelli

About half of the S0 galaxies in the nearby Universe show signatures of recent or ongoing star formation. Whether these S0 galaxies were rejuvenated by the accretion of fresh gas i…

Periodic signals from the Circinus region: two new cataclysmic variables and the ultraluminous X-ray source candidate GC X-1

P. Esposito, G. L. Israel, D. Milisavljevic +5

The examination of two 2010 Chandra ACIS exposures of the Circinus galaxy resulted in the discovery of two pulsators: CXO J141430.1-651621 and CXOU J141332.9-651756. We also detect…

Building gas rings and rejuvenating S0 galaxies through minor mergers

Michela Mapelli, Roberto Rampazzo, Antonietta Marino

We investigate the effects of minor mergers between an S0 galaxy and a gas-rich satellite galaxy, by means of N-body/smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations. The satellit…
