The impact of hot mode accretion and angular momentum conservation on metallicity gradients of galactic discs

Jennifer K. S. Friske, Filippo Fraternali, Gabriele Pezzulli

The hot circumgalactic medium (CGM) of a galaxy inevitably rotates more slowly than the cold gas in the disc it surrounds, due to a higher pressure support against gravity. If it a…

Temperature asymmetry in the Milky Way's hot circumgalactic medium induced by the Magellanic Clouds

Alexandru Oprea, Filippo Fraternali, Else Starkenburg +2

The Milky Way is surrounded by a hot diffuse circumgalactic medium (CGM) with temperatures of millions of degrees. Recent X-ray observations with the eROSITA satellite discovered a…

Fast rotations in galaxies at cosmic noon indicate central concentration of stars, dark matter or massive black holes

Fernanda Roman-Oliveira, Francesca Rizzo, Filippo Fraternali

The rotation curves of regularly rotating disc galaxies are a unique probe of the gravitational potential and dark matter distribution. Until recently, matter decomposition of rota…

The inside-out quenching of the MHONGOOSE galaxy NGC 1371

S. Veronese, W. J. G. de Blok, F. Fraternali +5

We present the deepest 21-cm spectral line and 1.4 GHz broad-band continuum observations of nearby early-type spiral galaxy NGC 1371 as part of the MeerKAT HI Observations of Nearb…

Gas-rich dwarf galaxy multiples in the Apertif HI survey

B. Šiljeg, E. A. K. Adams, F. Fraternali +8

Dwarf-dwarf galaxy encounters are a key aspect of galaxy evolution as they can ignite or temporarily suppress star formation in dwarfs and can lead to dwarf mergers. However, the f…

ALMA survey of a massive node of the Cosmic Web at . II. A dynamically cold and massive disk galaxy in the proximity of a hyperluminous quasar

A. Pensabene, S. Cantalupo, W. Wang +11

Advancing our understanding of the formation and evolution of early massive galaxies and black holes requires detailed studies of dense structures in the high-redshift Universe. In…
