Early thin-disc assembly revealed by JWST edge-on galaxies
Marloes van Asselt, Francesca Rizzo, Luca Di Mascolo
The vertical structure of stellar discs provides key constraints on their formation and evolution. Nearby spirals, including the Milky Way, host thin and thick components that may…

Revealing the nature of the starburst galaxies in the overdensity HATLAS J0849
Melanie Kaasinen, Francesca Rizzo, Francesco Valentino +4
Today's most massive ellipticals are proposed to originate from starbursting galaxies in overdensities. To discern what triggers these starbursts, and their desce…

Fast rotations in galaxies at cosmic noon indicate central concentration of stars, dark matter or massive black holes
Fernanda Roman-Oliveira, Francesca Rizzo, Filippo Fraternali
The rotation curves of regularly rotating disc galaxies are a unique probe of the gravitational potential and dark matter distribution. Until recently, matter decomposition of rota…
