Searching for multiple populations in the integrated light of the young and extremely massive clusters in the merger remnant NGC 7252

Recent work has shown that the properties of multiple populations (MPs) within massive stellar clusters (i.e. in the extent of their abundance variations as well as the fraction of stars that show the anomalous chemistry) depend on the mass as well as the ...

Molecular gas and star formation activity in luminous infrared galaxies in clusters at intermediate redshifts

Pascale Jablonka, Gianluca Castignani, Mathilde Jauzac, Damien Louis Alexandre Spérone-Longin

We investigate the role of dense megaparsec-scale environments in processing molecular gas of cluster galaxies as they fall into the cluster cores. We selected a sample of similar to 20 luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) belonging to intermediate-redshift ...

Survey of gravitationally-lensed objects in HSC imaging (SuGOHI) III. Statistical strong lensing constraints on the stellar IMF of CMASS galaxies

Hung-Hsu Chan

Context. The determination of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) of massive galaxies is one of the open problems in cosmology. Strong gravitational lensing is one of the few methods that allow us to constrain the IMF outside of the Local Group. Aims. ...

Disappearance of the extended main sequence turn-off in intermediate age clusters as a consequence of magnetic braking

Carmela Lardo

Context. Extended main sequence turn-offs are features commonly found in the colour-magnitude diagrams of young and intermediate age (less than about 2 Gyr) massive star clusters, where the main sequence turn-off is broader than can be explained by photome ...

Detecting galaxy-filament alignments in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III

Jonathan Andrew Blazek, Yuguang Chen

Previous studies have shown the filamentary structures in the cosmic web influence the alignments of nearby galaxies. We study this effect in the LOWZ sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using the 'Cosmic Web Reconstruction' filament catalogue. We find ...

The time delay between star formation quenching and morphological transformation of galaxies in clusters: a phase-space view of EDisCS

Pascale Jablonka

We explore the possible effect of cluster environments on the structure and star formation histories of galaxies by analysing the projected phase-space (PPS) of intermediate-redshift clusters (0.4

The impact of cored density profiles on the observable quantities of dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Yves Revaz, David Richard Harvey, Loïc Hausammann

We modify the chemo-dynamical code GEAR to simulate the impact of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) on the observable quantities of 19 low-mass dwarf galaxies with a variety star-forming properties. We employ a relatively high, velocity independent cross ...

Molecular gas in two companion cluster galaxies at z=1.2

Gianluca Castignani, Anand Stéphane Raichoor

Context. Probing both star formation history and evolution of distant cluster galaxies is essential to evaluate the effect of dense environment on shaping the galaxy properties we observe today. Aims. We investigate the effect of cluster environment on the ...

Chemical inhomogeneities amongst first population stars in globular clusters Evidence for He variations

Carmela Lardo

Spreads in light element abundances among stars (also known as multiple populations) are observed in nearly all globular clusters. One way to map such chemical variations using high-precision photometry is to employ a suitable combination of stellar magnit ...

Is ram-pressure stripping an efficient mechanism to remove gas in galaxies?

Elena Ricciardelli

We study how the gas in a sample of galaxies (M-* > 10(9) M-circle dot) in clusters, obtained in a cosmological simulation, is affected by the interaction with the intracluster medium (ICM). The dynamical state of each elemental parcel of gas is studied us ...
