The Planetary Nebulae Population in the Nuclear Regions of M31: the SAURON view
Nicola Pastorello, Marc Sarzi, Michele Cappellari +5
Following a first study of the central regions of M32 that illustrated the power of integral-field spectroscopy (IFS) in detecting and measuring the [O III]λ5007 emission of PNe ag…
Precision cosmology with the 2MASS clustering dipole
Maciej Bilicki, Michał Chodorowski, Wojciech Hellwing +2
Comparison of peculiar velocities of galaxies with their gravitational accelerations (induced by the density field) is one of the methods to constrain the redshift distortion param…
Why does the Jeans Swindle work?
M. Falco, S. H. Hansen, R. Wojtak +1
When measuring the mass profile of any given cosmological structure through internal kinematics, the distant background density is always ignored. This trick is often refereed to a…
Compact Groups of Galaxies selected by stellar mass: The 2MASS Compact Group Catalogue
E. Diaz-Gimenez, G. A. Mamon, M. Pacheco +2
We present a photometric catalogue of compact groups of galaxies (p2MCGs) automatically extracted from the 2MASS extended source catalogue. A total of 262 p2MCGs are identified, fo…
The Current Status of Galaxy Formation
Joe Silk, Gary A. Mamon
Understanding galaxy formation is one of the most pressing issues in cosmology. We review the current status of galaxy formation from both an observational and a theoretical perspe…
Physical properties underlying observed kinematics of satellite galaxies
Radoslaw Wojtak, Gary A. Mamon
We study the kinematics of satellites around isolated galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopic catalog. Using a model of the phase-space density pre…
Supernovae and their host galaxies. I. The SDSS DR8 database and statistics
A. A. Hakobyan, V. Zh. Adibekyan, L. S. Aramyan +5
(Abridged) In this first paper of a series, we report the creation of large and well-defined database that combines extensive new measurements and a literature search of 3876 super…
