Creating S0s with major mergers: a 3D view
Miguel Querejeta, M. Carmen Eliche-Moral, Trinidad Tapia +8
A number of simulators have argued that major mergers can sometimes preserve discs (e.g. Springel & Hernquist 2005), but the possibility that they could explain the emergence of le…
Gravitational torques imply molecular gas inflow towards the nucleus of M51
M. Querejeta, S. Meidt, E. Schinnerer +10
The transport of gas towards the centre of galaxies is critical for black hole feeding and, indirectly, it can control active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. We have quantified th…
Interacting galaxies in the nearby Universe: only moderate increase of star formation
Johan H. Knapen, Mauricio Cisternas, Miguel Querejeta
We investigate the influence of interactions on the star formation by studying a sample of almost 1500 of the nearest galaxies, all within a distance of ~45 Mpc. We define the mass…
Formation of S0 galaxies through mergers: Explaining angular momentum and concentration change from spirals to S0s
Miguel Querejeta, M. Carmen Eliche-Moral, Trinidad Tapia +6
The CALIFA team has recently found that the stellar angular momentum and concentration of late-type spiral galaxies are incompatible with those of lenticular galaxies (S0s), conclu…
The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G): Stellar Masses, Sizes and Radial Profiles for 2352 Nearby Galaxies
Juan Carlos Munoz-Mateos, Kartik Sheth, Michael Regan +25
The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) is a volume, magnitude, and size-limited survey of 2352 nearby galaxies with deep imaging at 3.6 and 4.5um. In this paper…
Short GMC lifetimes: an observational estimate with the PdBI Arcsecond Whirlpool Survey (PAWS)
Sharon E. Meidt, Annie Hughes, Clare L. Dobbs +10
We describe and execute a novel approach to observationally estimate the lifetimes of giant molecular clouds (GMCs). We focus on the cloud population between the two main spiral ar…
Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (SG). The Pipeline 4: Multi-component decomposition strategies and data release
Heikki Salo, Eija Laurikainen, Jarkko Laine +20
The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (SG, Sheth et. al. 2010) is a deep 3.6 and 4.5 m imaging survey of 2352 nearby ( Mpc) galaxies. We describe the S$^…
