The CAVITY project. The spatially resolved SFR of galaxies in voids
Ana M. Conrado, Rubén GarcÃa-Benito, Rosa M. González Delgado +24
The mass in the Universe is distributed non-uniformly, originating the Large Scale Structure (LSS), characterised by clusters, filaments, walls and voids. Galaxies in voids are blu…
The dependence of triggering mechanisms on radio AGN sub-types: the role of galaxy mergers
Freya Barwell, Clive N. Tadhunter, Jonathon C. S. Pierce +10
Powerful, radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) are associated with one of the most important forms of AGN feedback, and understanding how they are triggered is key to properly i…
LIGHTS. The Thin Encircling Stellar Stream of NGC 3938
Dennis Zaritsky, Jacob Nibauer, Giulia Golini +17
We present a stellar stream found in images of the nearby, nearly face-on, late-type galaxy, NGC 3938 obtained for the LBT Imaging of Galactic Halos and Tidal Structures (LIGHTS) s…
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…
LIGHTS. The extended point spread functions of the LIGHTS survey at the LBT
Nafise Sedighi, Zahra Sharbaf, Ignacio Trujillo +13
With the arrival of the next generation of ultra-deep optical imaging surveys reaching 30 mag/arcsec (3; 10"10"), the removal of scattered light due to…
Rendezvous in CAVITY: Kinematics and gas properties of an isolated dwarf-dwarf merging pair in a cosmic void region
Bahar Bidaran, Simon de Daniloff, Isabel Pérez +17
Galaxy mergers are pivotal events in the evolutionary history of galaxies, with their impact believed to be particularly significant in dwarf galaxies. We report the serendipitous…
