INSPIRE: INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics -- I. Survey presentation and pilot program
C. Spiniello, C. Tortora, G. D'Ago +12
Massive ETGs are thought to form through a two-phase process. At early times, an intense and fast starburst forms blue and disk-dominated galaxies. After quenching, the remaining s…
Discovery of two Einstein crosses from massive post--blue nugget galaxies at z>1 in KiDS
N. R. Napolitano, R. Li, C. Spiniello +18
We report the discovery of two Einstein Crosses (ECs) in the footprint of the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS): KIDS J232940-340922 and KIDS J122456+005048. Using integral field spectrosc…
Central velocity dispersion catalog of LAMOST-DR7 galaxies
Nicola R. Napolitano, Giuseppe D'Ago, Crescenzo Tortora +6
The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) is a major facility to carry out spectroscopic surveys for cosmology and galaxy evolution studies. The sevent…
The Next Generation Fornax Survey (NGFS): VII. A MUSE view of the nuclear star clusters in Fornax dwarf galaxies
Evelyn J. Johnston, Thomas H. Puzia, Giuseppe D'Ago +16
Clues to the formation and evolution of Nuclear Star Clusters (NSCs) lie in their stellar populations. However, these structures are often very faint compared to their host galaxy,…
Building the largest spectroscopic sample of ultra-compact massive galaxies with the Kilo Degree Survey
Diana Scognamiglio, Crescenzo Tortora, Marilena Spavone +14
Ultra-compact massive galaxies UCMGs, i.e. galaxies with stellar masses and effective radii kpc, are very rare systems, in partic…
