Different paths, same appearance: an intermediate-age red nugget at z~0.13

F. La Barbera, F. Buitrago, I. Ferreras +1

Massive ultra-compact galaxies are commonly regarded as nearby relics of the compact quiescent population at z~2-3, and detailed studies have focused so far only on old systems in…

Galaxy Light profile neural Networks (GaLNets). II. Bulge-Disc decomposition in optical space-based observations

Chen Qiu, Nicola R. Napolitano, Rui Li +12

Bulge-disk (B-D) decomposition is an effective diagnostic to characterize the galaxy morphology and understand its evolution across time. So far, high-quality data have allowed det…

CASCO: Cosmological and AStrophysical parameters from Cosmological simulations and Observations IV. Testing warm dark matter cosmologies with galaxy scaling relations: A joint simulation-observation study using DREAMS simulations

M. Silvestrini, C. Tortora, V. Busillo +9

Small-scale discrepancies in the standard Lambda cold dark matter paradigm have motivated the exploration of alternative dark matter (DM) models, such as warm dark matter (WDM). We…

Total and dark mass from observations of galaxy centers with Machine Learning

Sirui Wu, Nicola R. Napolitano, Crescenzo Tortora +4

The galaxy total mass inside the effective radius encode important information on the dark matter and galaxy evolution model. Total "central" masses can be inferred via galaxy dyna…

CASCO: Cosmological and AStrophysical parameters from Cosmological simulations and Observations III. The physics behind the emergence of the golden mass scale

C. Tortora, V. Busillo, N. R. Napolitano +5

We investigate the origin and evolution of the "golden mass" (halo mass , stellar mass ), linked to peak star f…
