Speckle statistics in adaptive optics images at visible wavelengths

Marco Stangalini, Fernando Pedichini, Enrico Pinna +11

Residual speckles in adaptive optics (AO) images represent a well-known limitation on the achievement of the contrast needed for faint source detection. Speckles in AO imagery can…

The WISSH Quasars Project IV. BLR versus kpc-scale winds

G. Vietri, E. Piconcelli, M. Bischetti +21

We have undertaken a multi-band observing program aimed at obtaining a complete census of winds in a sample of WISE/SDSS selected hyper-luminous (WISSH) QSOs at z~2-4. We have anal…

Magnifying the early episodes of star formation: super star clusters at cosmological distances

E. Vanzella, M. Castellano, M. Meneghetti +27

We study the spectrophotometric properties of a highly magnified (μ~40-70) pair of stellar systems identified at z=3.2222 behind the Hubble Frontier Field galaxy cluster MACS~J0416…

The WISSH Quasars Project I. Powerful ionised outflows in hyper-luminous quasars

M. Bischetti, E. Piconcelli, G. Vietri +19

Models and observations suggest that both power and effects of AGN feedback should be maximised in hyper-luminous (L_Bol>10^47 erg/s) quasars, i.e. objects at the brightest end of…

The ASTRODEEP Frontier Fields Catalogues: II - Photometric redshifts and rest-frame properties in Abell-2744 and MACS-J0416

M. Castellano, R. Amorín, E. Merlin +35

We present the first public release of photometric redshifts, galaxy rest-frame properties and associated magnification values in the cluster and parallel pointings of the first tw…

A critical analysis of the UV Luminosity Function at redshift~7 from deep WFC3 data

A. Grazian, M. Castellano, A. M. Koekemoer +7

The study of the Luminosity Function (LF) of Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) at z=7 is important for ascertaining their role in the reionization of the Universe. We perform a detailed…
