The relationship between gas content and star formation rate in spiral galaxies. Comparing the local field with the Virgo cluster
M. Fumagalli, G. Gavazzi
Despite many studies of the star formation in spiral galaxies, a complete and coherent understanding of the physical processes that regulate the birth of stars has not yet been ach…
SMC in space and time: a project to study the evolution of the prototype interacting late-type dwarf galaxy
M. Tosi, J. Gallagher, E. Sabbi +13
We introduce the SMC in space and time, a large coordinated space and ground-based program to study star formation processes and history, as well as variable stars, structure, kine…
CATS: Optical to Near-Infrared Colors of the Bulge and Disk of Two z=0.7 Galaxies Using HST and Keck Laser Adaptive Optics Imaging
E. Steinbring, J. Melbourne, A. J. Metevier +5
We have employed laser guide star (LGS) adaptive optics (AO) on the Keck II telescope to obtain near-infrared (NIR) images in the Extended Groth Strip (EGS) deep galaxy survey fiel…
Galaxy Zoo: the dependence of morphology and colour on environment
Steven P. Bamford, Robert C. Nichol, Ivan K. Baldry +13
We analyse the relationships between galaxy morphology, colour, environment and stellar mass using data for over 100,000 objects from Galaxy Zoo, the largest sample of visually cla…
Galaxy Merger Morphologies and Time-Scales from Simulations of Equal-Mass Gas-Rich Disc Mergers
Jennifer M. Lotz, Patrik Jonsson, T. J. Cox +1
A key obstacle to understanding the galaxy merger rate and its role in galaxy evolution is the difficulty in constraining the merger properties and time-scales from instantaneous s…
Gravitational Lensing Constraints on Dynamical and Coupled Dark Energy
G. La Vacca, L. P. L. Colombo
Upcoming Weak Lensing (WL) surveys can be used to constrain Dark Energy (DE) properties, namely if tomographic techniques are used to improve their sensitivity. In this work, we us…
