Scaling relations of z~0.25-1.5 galaxies in various environments from the morpho-kinematic analysis of the MAGIC sample
W. Mercier, B. Epinat, T. Contini +10
The evolution of galaxies is influenced by many physical processes which may vary depending on their environment. We combine Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Multi-Unit Spectroscop…
Deep Hubble Space Telescope Imaging on the Extended Ly Emission of a QSO at with Damped Lyman Alpha System as a Natural Coronagraph
Jiani Ding, Zheng Cai, J. Xavier Prochaska +5
Recent observations suggest that proximate damped Ly (PDLA) systems can be used to study the host galaxies of Quasi-stellar objects (QSOs), because the PDLAs can block the brigh…
MusE GAs FLOw and Wind (MEGAFLOW) II. A study of gas accretion around star-forming galaxies with background quasars
Johannes Zabl, Nicolas F. Bouché, Ilane Schroetter +10
We use the MusE GAs FLOw and Wind (MEGAFLOW) survey to study the kinematics of extended disk-like structures of cold gas around star-forming galaxies. The combination o…
The MUSE Hubble Ultra Deep Field Survey: XII. MgII emission and absorption in star-forming galaxies
Anna Feltre, Roland Bacon, Laurence Tresse +18
The physical origin of the near-ultraviolet MgII emission remains an under-explored domain, contrary to more typical emission lines detected in the spectra of star-forming galaxies…
First gas-phase metallicity gradients of galaxies with MUSE
David Carton, Jarle Brinchmann, Thierry Contini +8
Galaxies at low-redshift typically possess negative gas-phase metallicity gradients (centres more metal-rich than their outskirts). Whereas, it is not uncommon to observe positive…

Kinematics, Turbulence and Star Formation of z ~1 Strongly Lensed Galaxies seen with MUSE
V. Patricio, J. Richard, D. Carton +18
We analyse a sample of 8 highly magnified galaxies at redshift 0.6<z<1.5 observed with MUSE, exploring the resolved properties of these galaxies at sub-kiloparsec scales. Combining…
Ionised gas structure of 100 kpc in an over-dense region of the galaxy group COSMOS-Gr30 at z ~ 0.7

The MUSE Hubble Ultra Deep Field Survey: VII. FeII* Emission in Star-Forming Galaxies
Hayley Finley, Nicolas Bouché, Thierry Contini +15
Non-resonant FeII* 2365, 2396, 2612, 2626 emission can potentially trace galactic winds in emission and provide useful constraints to wind models. From the 3'x3' mosaic of the Hubb…
The MUSE Hubble Ultra Deep Field Survey: II. Spectroscopic redshifts and comparisons to color selections of high-redshift galaxies
H. Inami, R. Bacon, J. Brinchmann +22
We have conducted a two-layered spectroscopic survey (1'x1' ultra deep and 3'x3' deep regions) in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUS…
Dark Galaxy Candidates at Redshift ~3.5 Detected with MUSE
Raffaella Anna Marino, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Simon J. Lilly +18
Recent theoretical models suggest that the early phase of galaxy formation could involve an epoch when galaxies are gas-rich but inefficient at forming stars: a "dark galaxy" phase…
Galactic Winds with MUSE: A Direct Detection of FeII* Emission from a z = 1.29 Galaxy
Hayley Finley, Nicolas Bouché, Thierry Contini +12
Emission signatures from galactic winds provide an opportunity to directly map the outflowing gas, but this is traditionally challenging because of the low surface brightness. Usin…
Extended Ly emission around quasars with eclipsing damped Ly systems
Hassan Fathivavsari, Patrick Petitjean, Pasquier Noterdaeme +4
We present spectroscopic observations of six high redshift ( 2) quasars, which have been selected for their Lyman (Ly) emission region being only partially c…
Ubiquitous giant Ly nebulae around the brightest quasars at revealed with MUSE
Elena Borisova, Sebastiano Cantalupo, Simon J. Lilly +17
Direct Ly imaging of intergalactic gas at has recently revealed giant cosmological structures around quasars, e.g. the Slug Nebula (Cantalupo et al. 2014). Despite the…
Deep MUSE observations in the HDFS. Morpho-kinematics of distant star-forming galaxies down to M
T. Contini, B. Epinat, N. Bouché +20
(Abridged) We make use of the deepest VLT/MUSE observations performed so far on the Hubble Deep Field South (HDFS) to characterize the low-mass (< M) galaxy popula…
