Sculpting Andromeda -- made-to-measure models for M31's bar and composite bulge: dynamics, stellar and dark matter mass
Matias Blaña, Ortwin Gerhard, Christopher Wegg +6
The Andromeda galaxy (M31) contains a box/peanut bulge (BPB) entangled with a classical bulge (CB) requiring a triaxial modelling to determine the dynamics, stellar and dark matter…
The stellar populations of the central region of M31
R. P. Saglia, M. Opitsch, M. H. Fabricius +3
We continue the analysis of the dataset of our spectroscopic observation campaign of M31, by deriving simple stellar population properties (age metallicity and alpha-elements overa…
The MICADO first light imager for ELT: its astrometric performance
J. -U. Pott, G. Rodeghiero, H. Riechert +4
We report on our ongoing efforts to ensure that the MICADO NIR imager reaches differential absolute (often abbreviated: relative) astrometric performance limited by the SNR of typi…
Evidence for the formation of the young counter-rotating stellar disk from gas acquired by IC 719
Alessandro Pizzella, Lorenzo Morelli, Lodovico Coccato +4
The formation scenario of extended counter-rotating stellar disks in galaxies is still debated. In this paper, we study the S0 galaxy IC 719 known to host two large-scale counter-r…
Spectroscopic decomposition of NGC 3521: unveiling the properties of the bulge and disc
Lodovico Coccato, Maximilian H. Fabricius, Roberto P. Saglia +4
We study the kinematics and the stellar populations of the bulge and disc of the spiral galaxy NGC 3521. At each position in the field of view, we separate the contributions of the…
Resolving the Disc-Halo Degeneracy I: A Look at NGC 628
S. Aniyan, K. C. Freeman, M. Arnaboldi +6
The decomposition of the rotation curve of galaxies into contribution from the disc and dark halo remains uncertain and depends on the adopted mass to light ratio (M/L) of the disc…
