The Hidden Past of M92: Detection and Characterization of a Newly Formed 17 degrees Long Stellar Stream Using the Canada-France Imaging Survey

We present an analysis of the structure, kinematics, and orbit of a newly found stellar stream emanating from the globular cluster M92 (NGC 6341). This stream was discovered in an improved matched-filter map of the outer Galaxy, based on a "color-color-mag ...

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

Carmela Lardo

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 ...

The chemical evolution of the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sextans

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North, Carmela Lardo, Romain Ely Roland Lucchesi, Romaine Theler

We present our analysis of the FLAMES dataset targeting the central 25 ' region of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph). This dataset is the third major part of the high-resolution spectroscopic section of the ESO large program 171.B-0588(A) obtained ...

Molecular gas in distant brightest cluster galaxies

Gianluca Castignani

The mechanisms governing the stellar mass assembly and star formation history of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are still being debated. By means of new and archival molecular gas observations we investigate the role of dense megaparsec-scale environmen ...

Environmental processing in cluster core galaxies at z=1.7

Gianluca Castignani

Today, the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are passive and very massive galaxies at the center of their clusters, and they still accrete mass through swallowing companions and gas from cooling flows. However their formation history is not well known. We ...

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 ...

Observable tests of self-interacting dark matter in galaxy clusters: BCG wobbles in a constant density core

David Richard Harvey, Richard Massey

Models of cold dark matter (CDM) predict that the distribution of dark matter in galaxy clusters should be cuspy, centrally concentrated. Constant density cores would be strong evidence for beyond CDM physics, such as self-interacting dark matter (SIDM). A ...

Molecular gas in radio galaxies in dense megaparsec-scale environments at z=0.4-2.6

Gianluca Castignani

Context. Low luminosity radio galaxies (LLRGs) typically reside in dense megaparsec-scale environments and are often associated with brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). They are an excellent tool to study the evolution of molecular gas reservoirs in giant e ...

VLT/FLAMES high-resolution chemical abundances in Sculptor: a textbook dwarf spheroidal galaxy

Pascale Jablonka

We present detailed chemical abundances for 99 red-giant branch stars in the centre of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, which have been obtained from high-resolution VLT/FLAMES spectroscopy. The abundances of Li, Na, alpha-elements (O, Mg, Si, Ca Ti), ...

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 ...
