The globular cluster systems of 54 Coma ultra-diffuse galaxies: statistical constraints from HST data
N. C. Amorisco, A. Monachesi, A. Agnello +1
We use data from the HST Coma Cluster Treasury program to assess the richness of the Globular Cluster Systems (GCSs) of 54 Coma ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs), 18 of which have a ha…
Exploring the connection between stellar halo profiles and accretion histories in galaxies
Nicola C. Amorisco
I use a library of controlled minor merger N-body simulations, a particle tagging technique and Monte Carlo generated CDM accretion histories to study the highly stochastic proc…
Gaps in globular cluster streams: giant molecular clouds can cause them too
Nicola C. Amorisco, Facundo A. Gòmez, Simona Vegetti +1
As a result of their internal dynamical coherence, thin stellar streams formed by disrupting globular clusters (GCs) can act as detectors of dark matter (DM) substructure in the Ga…
Ultra-diffuse galaxies: the high-spin tail of the abundant dwarf galaxy population
N. C. Amorisco, A. Loeb
Recent observations have revealed the existence of an abundant population of faint, low surface brightness (SB) galaxies, which appear to be numerous and ubiquitous in nearby galax…
Chemodynamic subpopulations of the Carina dwarf galaxy
G. Kordopatis, N. C. Amorisco, N. W. Evans +2
We study the chemodynamical properties of the Carina dwarf spheroidal by combining an intermediate spectroscopic resolution dataset of more than 900 red giant and red clump stars,…
