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…
Looking into the faintEst WIth MUSE (LEWIS): on the nature of ultra-diffuse galaxies in the Hydra I cluster. V. Integrated stellar population properties
Goran Doll, Chiara Buttitta, Enrichetta Iodice +19
Context: This paper presents new results from the ESO Large Programme Looking into the faintEst WIth MUSE (LEWIS). The sample consists of low-surface brightness (LSB) and ultra-dif…
The Spatial Distribution of Intra-Cluster Globular Clusters in the Fornax Cluster
Raffaele D'Abrusco, Marco Mirabile, Michele Cantiello +6
We investigate the spatial distribution of the Intra-Cluster Globular Clusters (ICGCs) detected in the core of the Fornax galaxy cluster. By separately modeling different component…
Looking into the faintEst WIth MUSE (LEWIS): Exploring the nature of ultra-diffuse galaxies in the Hydra-I cluster IV. A study of the Globular Cluster population in four UDGs
Marco Mirabile, Michele Cantiello, Marina Rejkuba +20
As old stellar systems, globular clusters (GCs) are key fossil tracers of galaxy formation and interaction histories. This paper is part of the LEWIS project, an integral-field spe…
Observatory Science with eXTP
Ping Zhou, Jirong Mao, Liang Zhang +97
Scheduled for launch in 2030, the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarization (eXTP) telescope is a Chinese space-based mission aimed at studying extreme conditions and phenomena in ast…
Looking into the faintEst WIth MUSE (LEWIS): Exploring the nature of ultra-diffuse galaxies in the Hydra-I cluster II. Stellar kinematics and dynamical masses
Chiara Buttitta, Enrichetta Iodice, Goran Doll +18
Context: This paper focuses on a class of galaxies characterised by an extremely low surface brightness: the ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). We used new integral-field spectroscopic…
