CALIFA reveals Prolate Rotation in Massive Early-type Galaxies: A Polar Galaxy Merger Origin?
Athanasia Tsatsi, Mariya Lyubenova, Glenn van de Ven +4
We present new evidence for eight early-type galaxies (ETGs) from the CALIFA Survey that show clear rotation around their major photometric axis ("prolate rotation"). These are LSB…
On the rotation of nuclear star clusters formed by cluster-inspirals
Athanasia Tsatsi, Alessandra Mastrobuono-Battisti, Glenn van de Ven +3
Nuclear Star Clusters (NSCs) are commonly observed in the centres of most galactic nuclei, including our own Milky Way. While their study can reveal important information about the…
A New Channel for the Formation of Kinematically Decoupled Cores in Early-type galaxies
Athanasia Tsatsi, Andrea V. Macciò, Glenn van de Ven +1
We present the formation of a Kinematically Decoupled Core (KDC) in an elliptical galaxy, resulting from a major merger simulation of two disk galaxies. We show that although the t…
