Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Mapping formation pathways of nuclear star clusters across galaxies

Francesca Pinna, Isabel Pérez, Anna Ferré-Mateu +21

Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are dense, compact stellar systems only a few parsecs across, located at galaxy centers. Their small sizes make them difficult to resolve spatially. NS…

Expanding on the Fundamental Metallicity Relation in Dwarf Galaxies with MUSE

Teodora-Elena Bulichi, Katja Fahrion, François Mernier +10

The mass-metallicity relation (MZR) represents one of the most important scaling relations in the context of galaxy evolution, comprising a positive correlation between stellar mas…

The Fornax3D project: discovery of ancient massive merger events in the Fornax cluster galaxies NGC 1380 and NGC 1427

Ling Zhu, Glenn van de Ven, Ryan Leaman +16

We report the discovery of ancient massive merger events in the early-type galaxies NGC 1380 and NGC 1427, members of the Fornax galaxy cluster. Both galaxies have been observed by…

Rejuvenation triggers nuclear activity in nearby galaxies

Ignacio Martin-Navarro, Francesco Shankar, Mar Mezcua

Feedback, in particular from active galactic nuclei (AGN), is believed to play a crucial role in the evolution of galaxies. In the local Universe, many galaxies with an AGN are ind…

An overmassive Dark Halo around an Ultra-diffuse Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster

Michael A. Beasley, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Vincenzo Pota +4

Ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have the sizes of giant galaxies but the luminosities of dwarfs. A key to understanding their origins comes from their total masses, but their low sur…
