SDSS-IV MaNGA: pattern speeds of barred galaxies
Rui Guo, Shude Mao, E. Athanassoula +5
The MaNGA project has obtained IFU data for several thousand nearby galaxies, including barred galaxies. With the two dimensional spectral and kinematic information provided by IFU…
SDSS-IV MaNGA: The Formation Sequence of S0 Galaxies
Amelia Fraser-McKelvie, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca, Michael Merrifield +5
Gas stripping of spiral galaxies or mergers are thought to be the formation mechanisms of lenticular galaxies. In order to determine the conditions in which each scenario dominates…
A direct test of density wave theory in a grand-design spiral galaxy
Thomas Peterken, Michael Merrifield, Alfonso Aragon-Salamanca +5
The exact nature of the arms of spiral galaxies is still an open question. It has been widely assumed that spiral arms in galaxies with two distinct symmetrical arms are the produc…
Chromodynamical Analysis of Lenticular Galaxies using Globular Clusters and Planetary Nebulae
Emilio J. B. Zanatta, Arianna Cortesi, Ana L. Chies-Santos +7
Recovering the origins of lenticular galaxies can shed light on the understanding of galaxy formation and evolution, since they present properties that can be found in both ellipti…
Spectroscopic decomposition of the galaxy and halo of the cD galaxy NGC 3311
Evelyn J. Johnston, Michael Merrifield, Alfonso Aragon-Salamanca
Information on the star-formation histories of cD galaxies and their extended stellar haloes lie in their spectra. Therefore, to determine whether these structures evolved together…
Three dynamically distinct stellar populations in the halo of M49
J. Hartke, M. Arnaboldi, O. Gerhard +6
M49 (NGC 4472) is the dominant galaxy in subcluster B of the Virgo Cluster, and a benchmark for studying the build-up of the extended halos of brightest group galaxies in the outsk…
