The Tully-Fisher relation in dense groups at in the MAGIC survey
Valentina Abril-Melgarejo, Benoît Epinat, Wilfried Mercier +11
Galaxies in dense environments are subject to interactions and mechanisms which directly affect their evolution by lowering their gas fractions and reducing their star-forming capa…
The MUSE-Faint survey. II. The dark matter-density profile of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Eridanus 2
Sebastiaan L. Zoutendijk, Jarle Brinchmann, Nicolas F. Bouché +5
Aims. We use stellar line-of-sight velocities to constrain the dark matter-density profile of Eridanus 2, an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (, $M_* \approx 9 \times…
Census and classification of low-surface-brightness structures in nearby early-type galaxies from the MATLAS survey
Michal Bílek, Pierre-Alain Duc, Jean-Charles Cuillandre +9
The morphology of galaxies gives essential constraints on the models of galaxy evolution. The morphology of the features in the low-surface-brightness regions of galaxies has not b…
Atomic Hydrogen Clues to the Formation of Counterrotating Stellar Discs
Lisa M Young, Davor Krajnović, Pierre-Alain Duc +1
We present interferometric HI observations of six double-disc stellar counterrotator ("2") galaxies from the Atlas3D sample. Three are detected in HI emission; two of these are…
Formation channels of slowly rotating early-type galaxies
Davor Krajnović, Ugur Ural, Harald Kuntschner +11
We study the evidence for a diversity of formation processes in early-type galaxies by presenting the first complete volume-limited sample of slow rotators with both integral-field…
The peculiar kinematics of the multiple populations in the globular cluster Messier 80 (NGC 6093)
Sebastian Kamann, Emanuele Dalessandro, Nate Bastian +10
We combine MUSE spectroscopy and Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet (UV) photometry to perform a study of the chemistry and dynamics of the Galactic globular cluster Messier 80 (M8…
Testing the robustness of black hole mass measurements with ALMA and MUSE
Sabine Thater, Davor Krajnović, Dieu D. Nguyen +2
We present our ongoing work of using two independent tracers to estimate the supermassive black hole mass in the nearby early-type galaxy NGC 6958; namely integrated stellar and mo…
The MUSE Atlas of Disks (MAD): Ionized gas kinematic maps and an application to Diffuse Ionized Gas
Mark den Brok, C. Marcella Carollo, Santiago Erroz-Ferrer +9
We have obtained data for 41 star forming galaxies in the MUSE Atlas of Disks (MAD) survey with VLT/MUSE. These data allow us, at high resolution of a few 100 pc, to extract ionize…
The MUSE-Wide Survey: Survey Description and First Data Release
T. Urrutia, L. Wisotzki, J. Kerutt +17
We present the MUSE-Wide survey, a blind, 3D spectroscopic survey in the CANDELS/GOODS-S and CANDELS/COSMOS regions. Each MUSE-Wide pointing has a depth of 1 hour and hence targets…
A quartet of black holes and a missing duo: probing the low-end of the Mbh - sigma relation with the adaptive optics assisted integral-field spectroscopy
Davor Krajnović, Michele Cappellari, Richard M. McDermid +8
We present mass estimates of supermassive black holes in six nearby fast rotating early-type galaxies (NGC4339, NGC4434, NGC4474, NGC4551, NGC4578 and NGC4762) with effective stell…
The Diversity of Atomic Hydrogen in Slow Rotator Early-type Galaxies
Lisa M. Young, Paolo Serra, Davor Krajnović +1
We present interferometric observations of HI in nine slow rotator early-type galaxies of the Atlas3D sample. With these data, we now have sensitive HI searches in 34 of the 36 slo…
On the Origin of Diffuse Ionized Gas in the Antennae Galaxy
Peter M. Weilbacher, Ana Monreal-Ibero, Anne Verhamme +14
The "Antennae Galaxy" (NGC 4038/39) is the closest major interacting galaxy system and therefore often taken as merger prototype. We present the first comprehensive integral field…
MUSE observations of M87: radial gradients for the stellar initial-mass function and the abundance of Sodium
Marc Sarzi, Chiara Spiniello, Francesco La Barbera +2
Based on MUSE integral-field data we present evidence for a radial variation at the low-mass end of the stellar initial-mass function (IMF) in the central regions of the giant earl…
