MAGIC: Muse gAlaxy Groups In Cosmos -- A survey to probe the impact of environment on galaxy evolution over the last 8 Gyr
B. Epinat, T. Contini, W. Mercier +22
We introduce the MUSE gAlaxy Groups in COSMOS (MAGIC) survey, which was built to study the impact of environment on galaxy evolution over the last 8 Gyr. It consists of 17 MUSE fie…
Integral Field Spectroscopy: a disruptive innovation for observations of Planetary Nebulae and the PNLF
Martin M. Roth, George Jacoby, Robin Ciardullo +3
A quarter of a century has passed since the observing technique of integral field spectroscopy (IFS) was first applied to planetary nebulae (PNe). Progress after the early experime…
Precision spectrophotometry for PNLF distances: the case of NGC 300
Azlizan A. Soemitro, Martin M. Roth, Peter M. Weilbacher +5
The Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) has enabled a renaissance of the planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF) as a standard candle. In the case of NGC 300, we learned t…
MUSE observations of the giant low surface brightness galaxy Malin 1: Numerous HII regions, star formation rate, metallicity, and dust attenuation
Junais, P. M. Weilbacher, B. Epinat +6
Giant low-surface brightness (GLSB) galaxies are an extreme class of objects with very faint and extended gas-rich disks. Malin 1 is the largest GLSB galaxy known to date, but its…
Molecular and Ionized Gas in Tidal Dwarf Galaxies: The Spatially Resolved Star-Formation Relation
Navyasree Kovakkuni, Federico Lelli, Pierre-alain Duc +12
Tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) are low-mass objects that form within tidal and/or collisional debris ejected from more massive interacting galaxies. We use CO() observations from…
Towards Precision Cosmology With Improved PNLF Distances Using VLT-MUSE II. A Test Sample from Archival Data
George H. Jacoby, Robin Ciardullo, Martin M. Roth +2
Thanks to the MUSE integral field spectrograph on the VLT, extragalactic distance measurements with the [O III] 5007 A planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF) are now possible…
