MOONRISE: The Main MOONS GTO Extragalactic Survey

R. Maiolino, M. Cirasuolo, J. Afonso +34

The MOONS instrument possesses an exceptional combination of large multiplexing, high sensitivity, broad simultaneous spectral coverage (from optical to near-infrared bands), large…

MOONS Surveys of the Milky Way and its Satellites

O. A. Gonzalez, A. Mucciarelli, L. Origlia +37

The study of resolved stellar populations in the Milky Way and other Local Group galaxies can provide us with a fossil record of their chemo-dynamical and star-formation histories…

Are Milky-Way dwarf-spheroidal galaxies dark-matter free?

F. Hammer, Y. B. Yang, J. L. Wang +4

We have found that the high velocity dispersions of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) can be well explained by Milky Way (MW) tidal shocks, which reproduce precisely the gravitatio…

Toward a Complete Understanding of the Magellanic Stream Formation

Jianling Wang, Francois Hammer, Yanbin Yang +4

The Magellanic Clouds have lost most of their gas during their passage by the Milky Way, a property that has never been successfully modeled. Here we use accurate and mesh-free hyd…

Outflows from GRB hosts are ubiquitous: Kinematics of z<0.3 GRB-SN hosts resolved with FLAMES

C. C. Thöne, L. Izzo, H. Flores +12

The hosts of long duration gamma-ray bursts are predominantly starburst galaxies at subsolar metallicity. At redshifts z<1, this implies that most of them are low-mass galaxies sim…

On the absence of dark matter in dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way

Francois Hammer, Yanbin Yang, Jianling Wang +3

This paper presents an alternative scenario to explain the observed properties of the Milky Way dwarf Spheroidals (MW dSphs). We show that instead of resulting from large amounts o…
