The distribution and ages of star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud: Constraints on the interaction history of the Magellanic Clouds
T. Bitsakis, R. A. Gonzalez-Lopezlira, P. Bonfini +5
We present a new study of the spatial distribution and ages of the star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). To detect and estimate the ages of the star clusters we rely o…
Stellar Population Synthesis of star forming clumps in galaxy pairs and non-interacting spiral galaxies
Javier Zaragoza-Cardiel, Beverly J. Smith, Margarita Rosado +5
We have identified 1027 star forming complexes in a sample of 46 galaxies from the Spirals, Bridges, and Tails (SB&T) sample of interacting galaxies, and 693 star forming complexes…
Light Curves of the Neutron Star Merger GW170817/SSS17a: Implications for R-Process Nucleosynthesis
M. R. Drout, A. L. Piro, B. J. Shappee +41
On 2017 August 17, gravitational waves were detected from a binary neutron star merger, GW170817, along with a coincident short gamma-ray burst, GRB170817A. An optical transient so…
Early Spectra of the Gravitational Wave Source GW170817: Evolution of a Neutron Star Merger
B. J. Shappee, J. D. Simon, M. R. Drout +33
On 2017 August 17, Swope Supernova Survey 2017a (SSS17a) was discovered as the optical counterpart of the binary neutron star gravitational wave event GW170817. We report time-seri…
Connecting traces of galaxy evolution: the missing core mass -- morphological fine structure relation
P. Bonfini, T. Bitsakis, A. Zezas +5
Deep exposure imaging of early-type galaxies (ETGs) are revealing the second-order complexity of these objects, which have been long considered uniform, dispersion-supported sphero…
A novel method to automatically detect and measure the ages of star clusters in nearby galaxies: Application to the Large Magellanic Cloud
T. Bitsakis, P. Bonfini, R. A. Gonzalez-Lopezlira +5
We present our new, fully-automated method to detect and measure the ages of star clusters in nearby galaxies, where individual stars can be resolved. The method relies purely on s…
Star formation driven galactic winds in UGC 10043
C. López-Cobá, S. F. Sánchez, A. V. Moiseev +15
We study the galactic wind in the edge-on spiral galaxy UGC 10043 with the combination of the CALIFA integral field spectroscopy data, scanning Fabry-Perot interferometry (FPI), an…
