GALACTIC CENTERS AS TRACERS OF GALAXY EVOLUTION: Zooming from galaxy large-scale properties into their central massive black holes
F. Pinna, N. Hoyer, S. Thater +14
During the workshop ''Galactic Centers as tracers of galaxy evolution'' (Lorentz Center, Leiden), we reviewed one of the most debated questions in the field of galaxy evolution: th…

HARMONI is the integral field spectrograph for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Designed as the primary workhorse near-infrared spectrograph of the ELT, it will deliver spatial…
Bulgeless Evolution And the Rise of Discs (BEARD) I. Physical drivers of the mass-size relation for Milky Way-like galaxies
C. Marrero-de la Rosa, J. Méndez-Abreu, A. de Lorenzo-Cáceres +20
In the standard cold dark matter (CDM) cosmology, the existence of massive pure-disc galaxies remains challenging within the hierarchical framework and is key to understandi…
Bulgeless Evolution And the Rise of Discs (BEARD) III. A numerical simulation view of satellites around Milky-Way analogues
Salvador Cardona-Barrero, Jairo Méndez-Abreu, Adriana de Lorenzo-Cáceres +17
. The existence of massive disc galaxies with little or no bulge challenges conventional cold dark matter model, which typically favours dynamically hot central structure…
Bulgeless Evolution And the Rise of Discs (BEARD) II. The role of mergers in shaping the Milky Way analogues in TNG50
Yetli Rosas-Guevara, Jairo Méndez-Abreu, Adriana de Lorenzo-Cáceres +20
We study the formation and evolution of bulgeless galaxies within the Milky Way-Andromeda analogue sample of the TNG50 simulation. Through kinematic decomposition with Mordor, we i…
Composite Bulges -- V. Detecting signatures of gas inflows in IFU data: The MUSE view of ionised gas kinematics in nearby galaxies
Tutku Kolcu, Witold Maciejewski, Peter Erwin +7
Using VLT/MUSE data, we study the ionised-gas kinematics in a mass- and volume-limited (, \,Mpc) sample of 21 nearby galaxies to identify signa…
The dynamical state of bars in cluster dwarf galaxies: The cases of NGC 4483 and NGC 4516
V. Cuomo, L. Morelli, J. A. L. Aguerri +13
Dwarf barred galaxies are the perfect candidates for hosting slowly-rotating bars. They are common in dense environments and they have a relatively shallow potential well, making t…
The universal variability of the stellar initial mass function probed by the TIMER survey
Ignacio Martín-Navarro, Adriana de Lorenzo-Cáceres, Dimitri A. Gadotti +7
The debate about the universality of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) revolves around two competing lines of evidence. While measurements in the Milky Way, an archetypal spi…
Smooth kinematic and metallicity gradients reveal that the Milky Way's nuclear star cluster and disc might be part of the same structure
F. Nogueras-Lara, A. Feldmeier-Krause, R. Schödel +7
The innermost regions of most galaxies are characterised by the presence of extremely dense nuclear star clusters. Nevertheless, these clusters are not the only stellar component p…
Schwarzschild Modeling of Barred S0 Galaxy NGC 4371
Behzad Tahmasebzadeh, Ling Zhu, Juntai Shen +15
We apply the barred Schwarzschild method developed by Tahmasebzadeh et al. (2022) to a barred S0 galaxy, NGC 4371, observed by IFU instruments from the TIMER and ATLAS3D projects.…
A new tidal scenario for double bar formation
Marcin Semczuk, Ewa L. Łokas, Adriana de Lorenzo-Cáceres +1
Double bars make up a significant fraction of barred galaxies. We propose a new formation scenario for double bars that involves tidal interactions. We demonstrate the viability of…
Disc galaxies are still settling: The discovery of the smallest nuclear discs and their young stellar bars
Camila de Sá-Freitas, Dimitri A. Gadotti, Francesca Fragkoudi +11
When galactic discs settle and become massive enough, they are able to form stellar bars. These non-axisymmetric structures induce shocks in the gas, causing it to flow to the cent…
Composite Bulges -- III. A Study of Nuclear Star Clusters in Nearby Spiral Galaxies
Aishwarya Ashok, Anil Seth, Peter Erwin +17
We present photometric and morphological analyses of nuclear star clusters (NSCs) -- very dense, massive star clusters present in the central regions of most galaxies -- in a sampl…
A new method for age-dating the formation of bars in disc galaxies: The TIMER view on NGC1433's old bar and the inside-out growth of its nuclear disc
Camila de Sá-Freitas, Francesca Fragkoudi, Dimitri A. Gadotti +16
The epoch in which galactic discs settle is a major benchmark to test models of galaxy formation and evolution but is as yet largely unknown. Once discs settle and become self-grav…
Morpho-kinematic properties of field S0 bulges in the CALIFA survey
J. Mendez-Abreu, J. A. L. Aguerri, J. Falcon-Barroso +22
We study a sample of 28 S0 galaxies extracted from the integral-field spectroscopic (IFS) survey CALIFA. We combine an accurate two-dimensional (2D) multi-component photometric dec…
SSDSS IV MaNGA - Properties of AGN host galaxies
S. F. Sanchez, V. Avila-Reese, H. Hernandez-Toledo +22
We present here the characterization of the main properties of a sample of 98 AGN host galaxies, both type-II and type-I, in comparison with those of about 2700 non-active galaxies…
Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. VII. Understanding the UV anomaly in NGC 5548 with X-Ray Spectroscopy
S. Mathur, A. Gupta, K. Page +147
During the Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project (STORM) observations of NGC 5548, the continuum and emission-line variability became de-correlated during the s…
Orthogonal vertical velocity dispersion distributions produced by bars
Min Du, Juntai Shen, Victor P. Debattista +1
In barred galaxies, the contours of stellar velocity dispersions () are generally expected to be oval and aligned with the orientation of bars. However, many double-barred (S2B)…
