A dwarf-dwarf merger and dark matter core as a solution to the Globular Cluster problems in the Fornax dSph
Gigi Y. C. Leung, Ryan Leaman, Glenn van de Ven +1
The five globular clusters (GCs) of the Fornax dSph are puzzling for two reasons; the mass in GCs is high with respect to the galaxy's old stellar mass, and their survival and larg…
Star formation at the edge of the Local Group: a rising star formation history in the isolated galaxy WLM
Saundra M. Albers, Daniel R. Weisz, Andrew A. Cole +11
We present the star formation history (SFH) of the isolated (D~970 kpc) Local Group dwarf galaxy WLM measured from color-magnitude diagrams constructed from deep Hubble Space Teles…
Is There a Fundamental Upper Limit to the Mass of a Star Cluster?
Mark A. Norris, Glenn van de Ven, Sheila J. Kannappan +2
The discovery around the turn of the millenium of a population of very massive (M > 210 M) compact stellar systems (CSS) with physical properties (radiu…
Survival of molecular gas in a stellar feedback-driven outflow witnessed with the MUSE TIMER project and ALMA
Ryan Leaman, Francesca Fragkoudi, Miguel Querejeta +15
Stellar feedback plays a significant role in modulating star formation, redistributing metals, and shaping the baryonic and dark structure of galaxies -- however, the efficiency of…
Constraining nuclear star cluster formation using MUSE-AO observations of the early-type galaxy FCC47
Katja Fahrion, Mariya Lyubenova, Glenn van de Ven +12
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are found in at least 70% of all galaxies, but their formation path is still unclear. In the most common scenarios, NSCs form in-situ from the galaxy's…
An old, metal-poor globular cluster in Sextans A and the metallicity floor of globular cluster systems
Michael A. Beasley, Ryan Leaman, Carme Gallart +4
We report the confirmation of an old, metal-poor globular cluster in the nearby dwarf irregular galaxy Sextans A, the first globular cluster known in this galaxy. The cluster, whic…
The Fornax 3D project: Thick disks in a cluster environment
F. Pinna, J. Falcón-Barroso, M. Martig +13
We used deep MUSE observations to perform a stellar-kinematic and population analysis of FCC 153 and FCC 177, two edge-on S0 galaxies in the Fornax cluster. The geometrical definit…
A galaxy's accretion history unveiled from its integrated spectrum
Alina Boecker, Ryan Leaman, Glenn van de Ven +3
We present a new method of quantifying a galaxy's accretion history from its integrated spectrum alone. Using full spectral fitting and calibrated regularization techniques we show…
Clocking the assembly of double-barred galaxies with the MUSE TIMER project
A. de Lorenzo-Cáceres, P. Sánchez-Blázquez, J. Méndez-Abreu +11
The formation of two stellar bars within a galaxy has proved challenging for numerical studies. It is yet not clear whether the inner bar is born via a star formation process promo…
The Fornax 3D project: unveiling the thick disk origin in FCC 170: signs of accretion?
F. Pinna, J. Falcón-Barroso, M. Martig +13
We present and discuss the stellar kinematics and populations of the S0 galaxy FCC 170 (NGC 1381) in the Fornax cluster, using deep MUSE data from the Fornax 3D survey. We show the…
