The Fornax Cluster VLT Spectroscopic Survey - V. Mass modelling of the BCG NGC 1399 out to 150 kpc
Avinash Chaturvedi, Nicola R. Napolitano, Michael Hilker +8
NGC 1399, the bright central galaxy of the Fornax cluster, hosts an extensive population of globular clusters (GCs) extending beyond 200 kpc into its outer halo, about 6.5 effectiv…
VST-SMASH: VST Survey of Mass Assembly and Structural Hierarchy II. Exploring dwarf galaxies in the vicinity of NGC 5068 and of the two galaxies NGC 5084 and NGC 5087 at the edges of the Virgo Supercluster
C. Tortora, R. Ragusa, L. K. Hunt +9
We present a study of dwarf galaxy candidates in the deepest optical imaging yet obtained of the field surrounding the nearby galaxies NGC 5068 and NGC 5084/NGC 5087, the latter tw…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: A Low Surface Brightness Science Case
Mireia Montes, Ignacio Trujillo, David MartÃnez Delgado +27
The Extragalactic Low Surface Brightness (LSB, mag/arcsec) Universe represents a crucial, yet largely unseen, frontier in modern astrophysics. This faint realm…
The fifth data release of the Kilo Degree Survey: Multi-epoch optical/NIR imaging covering wide and legacy-calibration fields
Angus H. Wright, Konrad Kuijken, Hendrik Hildebrandt +51
We present the final data release of the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS-DR5), a public European Southern Observatory (ESO) wide-field imaging survey optimised for weak gravitational lens…
