Inferring gas-phase metallicity gradients of galaxies at the seeing limit: A forward modelling approach
David Carton, Jarle Brinchmann, Maryam Shirazi +7
We present a method to recover the gas-phase metallicity gradients from integral field spectroscopic (IFS) observations of barely resolved galaxies. We take a forward modelling app…
Deep MUSE observations in the HDFS. Morpho-kinematics of distant star-forming galaxies down to M
T. Contini, B. Epinat, N. Bouché +20
(Abridged) We make use of the deepest VLT/MUSE observations performed so far on the Hubble Deep Field South (HDFS) to characterize the low-mass (< M) galaxy popula…
The search for active black holes in nearby low-mass galaxies using optical and mid-IR data
Lia F. Sartori, Kevin Schawinski, Ezequiel Treister +4
We investigated AGN activity in low-mass galaxies, an important regime that can shed light onto BH formation and evolution, and their interaction with their host galaxies. We ident…
Unveiling the counter-rotating nature of the kinematically distinct core in NGC5813 with MUSE
Davor Krajnovic, Peter M. Weilbacher, Tanya Urrutia +9
MUSE observations of NGC5813 reveal a complex structure in the velocity dispersion map, previously hinted by SAURON observations. The structure is reminiscent of velocity dispersio…
The MUSE 3D view of the Hubble Deep Field South
R. Bacon, J. Brinchmann, J. Richard +35
We observed the Hubble Deep Field South with the new panoramic integral field spectrograph MUSE that we built and just commissioned at the VLT. The data cube resulting from 27 hour…
Very Massive Stars in the Local Universe
Jorick S. Vink
Recent studies suggest the existence of very massive stars (VMS) up to 300 solar masses in the local Universe. As this finding may represent a paradigm shift for the canonical stel…
Stars were born in significantly denser regions in the early Universe
Maryam Shirazi, Jarle Brinchmann, Alireza Rahmati
The density of the warm ionized gas in high-redshift galaxies is known to be higher than what is typical in local galaxies on similar scales. At the same time, the mean global prop…
The physical nature of the 8 o'clock arc based on near-IR IFU spectroscopy with SINFONI
M. Shirazi, S. Vegetti, N. Nesvadba +3
We present an analysis of near-infrared integral field unit spectroscopy of the 8 o'clock arc, a gravitationally lensed Lyman break galaxy, taken with SINFONI. We explore the shape…
Very Massive Stars (VMS) in the Local Universe
Jorick S. Vink, Alexander Heger, Mark R. Krumholz +25
Recent studies have claimed the existence of very massive stars (VMS) up to 300 solar masses in the local Universe. As this finding may represent a paradigm shift for the canonical…
Strongly star forming galaxies in the local Universe with nebular He II 4686 emission
Maryam Shirazi, Jarle Brinchmann
We present a sample of 2865 emission line galaxies with strong nebular He II 4686 emissions in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 and use this sample to investigate the origin…
