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 ...

Stellar chemo-kinematics of the Cetus dwarf spheroidal galaxy

Pascale Jablonka

Context. The great majority of early-type dwarf galaxies, in the Local Group as well as in other galaxy groups, are found in the vicinity of much larger galaxies, making it hard to disentangle the role of internal versus external effects in driving their e ...

VICS82: The VISTA-CFHT Stripe 82 Near-infrared Survey

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Johan Comparat

We present the VISTA-CFHT Stripe 82 (VICS82) survey: a near-infrared (J+K-s) survey covering 150 square degrees of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) equatorial Stripe 82 to an average depth of J = 21.9 AB mag and K-s = 21.4 AB mag (80% completeness limit ...

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 ...

The Pristine survey - I. Mining the Galaxy for the most metal-poor stars

Pascale Jablonka, Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We present the Pristine survey, a new narrow-band photometric survey focused on the metallicity-sensitive Ca H&K lines and conducted in the Northern hemisphere with the wide-field imager MegaCam on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. This paper reviews our ...

Morphological Segregation in the Surroundings of Cosmic Voids

Amélie Tamone, Elena Ricciardelli

We explore the morphology of galaxies living in the proximity of cosmic voids, using a sample of voids identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. At all stellar masses, void galaxies exhibit morphologies of a later type than galaxies in a c ...

High-redshift supernova rates measured with the gravitational telescope A 1689

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Johan Richard

Aims. We present a ground-based, near-infrared search for lensed supernovae behind the massive cluster Abell 1689 at z = 0.18, which is one of the most powerful gravitational telescopes that nature provides. Methods. Our survey was based on multi-epoch J-b ...

Measuring subhalo mass in redMaPPer clusters with CFHT Stripe 82 Survey

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

We use the shear catalogue from the CFHT Stripe-82 Survey to measure the subhalo masses of satellite galaxies in redMaPPer clusters. Assuming a Chabrier initial mass function and a truncated NFW model for the subhalo mass distribution, we find that the sub ...

UV-extended E-MILES stellar population models: young components in massive early-type galaxies

Elena Ricciardelli

We present UV-extended E-MILES stellar population synthesis models covering the spectral range.. 1680-50 000 angstrom at moderately high resolution. We employ the NGSL space-based stellar library to compute spectra of single-age, single-metallicity stellar ...

The behaviour of dark matter associated with four bright cluster galaxies in the 10 kpc core of Abell 3827

David Richard Harvey, Mathilde Jauzac, Richard Massey, Johan Richard

Galaxy cluster Abell 3827 hosts the stellar remnants of four almost equally bright elliptical galaxies within a core of radius 10 kpc. Such corrugation of the stellar distribution is very rare, and suggests recent formation by several simultaneous mergers. ...
