The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) I: tracing the kinematics of metal-poor stars in the Galactic bulge

Carmela Lardo, Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

Our Galaxy is known to contain a central boxy/peanut-shaped bulge, yet the importance of a classical, pressure-supported component within the central part of the Milky Way is still being debated. It should be most visible at low metallicity, a regime that ...

TDCOSMO: I. An exploration of systematic uncertainties in the inference of H-0 from time-delay cosmography

Frédéric Courbin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Aymeric Alexandre Galan

Time-delay cosmography of lensed quasars has achieved 2.4% precision on the measurement of the Hubble constant, H0. As part of an ongoing effort to uncover and control systematic uncertainties, we investigate three potential sources: 1- stellar kinematics, ...

The core of the massive cluster merger MACS J0417.5-1154 as seen by VLT/MUSE

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Richard Harvey, Johannes Richard Cornelis Geerit Kruis

We present a multiwavelength analysis of the core of the massive galaxy cluster MACS J0417.5-1154 (z = 0.441). Our analysis takes advantage of Very Large Telescope/Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer observations which allowthe spectroscopic confirmation of ...

Tidal Interactions and Mergers in Intermediate-redshift EDisCS Clusters

Pascale Jablonka

We study the fraction of tidal interactions and mergers (TIMs) with well-identified observability timescales (f(TIM)) in group, cluster, and accompanying field galaxies and its dependence on redshift (z), cluster velocity dispersion (sigma), and environmen ...

Potential Recoiling Supermassive Black Hole, CXO J101527.2+625911

David Richard Harvey

We have carried out a systematic search for recoiling supermassive black holes (rSMBH) using the Chandra Source and SDSS Cross-Match Catalog. From the survey, we have detected a potential rSMBH, CXO J101527.2 +625911, at z = 0.3504. The source CXO J101527. ...
