Hidden Gems on a Ring: Infant Massive Clusters and Their Formation Timeline Unveiled by ALMA, HST, and JWST in NGC 3351

Robin Gopala Tress

We use 0.1 '' observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and JWST to study young massive clusters (YMCs) in their embedded "infant" phase across the central starburst ring in NGC 3351. Our new ALMA data revea ...

Hydrodynamical simulations of merging galaxy clusters: giant dark matter particle colliders, powered by gravity

David Richard Harvey

Terrestrial particle accelerators collide charged particles, then watch the trajectory of outgoing debris - but they cannot manipulate dark matter. Fortunately, dark matter is the main component of galaxy clusters, which are continuously pulled together by ...

The Pristine dwarf galaxy survey-V. The edges of the dwarf galaxy Hercules

Pascale Jablonka, Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We present a new spectroscopic study of 175 stars in the vicinity of the dwarf galaxy Hercules (d similar to 132 kpc) with data from the Anglo-Australian Telescope and its AAOmega spectrograph together with the Two Degree Field multi-object system to solve ...

The Pristine survey - XVII. The C-19 stream is dynamically hot and more extended than previously thought

Pascale Jablonka, Carmela Lardo

The C-19 stream is the most metal-poor stellar system ever discovered, with a mean metallicity [Fe/H] = -3.38 +/- 0.06. Its low metallicity dispersion (sigma([Fe/H]) < 0.18 at the 95 per cent confidence level) and variations in sodium abundances strongly s ...

A stellar stream remnant of a globular cluster below the metallicity floor

Pascale Jablonka, Carmela Lardo

Stellar ejecta gradually enrich the gas out of which subsequent stars form, making the least chemically enriched stellar systems direct fossils of structures formed in the early Universe(1). Although a few hundred stars with metal content below 1,000th of ...

From starburst to quenching: merger-driven evolution of the star formation regimes in a shell galaxy

Jonathan Erik Peter Petersson

Shell galaxies make a class of tidally distorted galaxies, characterized by wide concentric arc(s), extending out to large galactocentric distances with sharp outer edges. Recent observations of young massive star clusters in the prominent outer shell of N ...

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

Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

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 ...

The search for multiple populations in Magellanic Clouds clusters - V. Correlation between cluster age and abundance spreads

Carmela Lardo

In our HST photometric survey, we have been searching for multiple stellar populations (MPs) in Magellanic Clouds (MCs) massive star clusters which span a significant range of ages (similar to 1.5-11Gyr). In the previous papers of the series, we have shown ...

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 ...
