Molecular gas in two companion cluster galaxies at z=1.2

Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Gianluca Castignani

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. ...

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Galactic evolution of sulphur and zinc

Carmela Lardo

Context. Due to their volatile nature, when sulphur and zinc are observed in external galaxies, their determined abundances represent the gas-phase abundances in the interstellar medium. This implies that they can be used as tracers of the chemical enrichm ...

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 ...

Signatures of the Primordial Universe from Its Emptiness: Measurement of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations from Minima of the Density Field

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Cheng Zhao

Sound waves from the primordial fluctuations of the Universe imprinted in the large-scale structure, called baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs), can be used as standard rulers to measure the scale of the Universe. These oscillations have already been detec ...

ARE ULTRA-FAINT GALAXIES AT z=6-8 RESPONSIBLE FOR COSMIC REIONIZATION? COMBINED CONSTRAINTS FROM THE HUBBLE FRONTIER FIELDS CLUSTERS AND PARALLELS

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

We use deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the Frontier Fields to accurately measure the galaxy rest-frame ultraviolet luminosity function (UV LF) in the redshift range z similar to 6-8. We combine observations in three lensing clusters, A2744, MACS 041 ...

Molecular gas content in strongly lensed z similar to 1.5-3 star-forming galaxies with low infrared luminosities

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

To extend the molecular gas measurements to more typical star-forming galaxies (SFGs) with star formation rates SFR < 40 M-circle dot yr(-1) and stellar masses M-* < 2.5 x 10(10) M-circle dot at z similar to 1.5-3, we have observed CO emission with the IRA ...

The Red Radio Ring: a gravitationally lensed hyperluminous infrared radio galaxy at z=2.553 discovered through the citizen science project SPACE WARPS

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Ajay Kumar Verma

We report the discovery of a gravitationally lensed hyperluminous infrared galaxy (intrinsic L-IR approximate to 10(13) L-circle dot) with strong radio emission (intrinsic L-1.4 GHz approximate to 10(25) WHz(-1)) at z = 2.553. The source was identified in ...

The two-dimensional array of 2048 tilting micromirrors for astronomical spectroscopy

Nico de Rooij, Wilfried Noell, Michael David Canonica

In multi-object spectrometers, field selectors, which are located in the focal plane of the telescopes, are required for the selection of astronomical objects, such as stars or faint galaxies. We present a two-dimensional micromirror array as a field selec ...

Polar ring galaxies as tests of gravity

Olivier Pierre Marie Tiret

Polar ring galaxies are ideal objects with which to study the three-dimensional shapes of galactic gravitational potentials since two rotation curves can be measured in two perpendicular planes. Observational studies have uncovered systematically larger ro ...

Weak Gravitational Lensing by Large-Scale Structures : A Tool for Constraining Cosmology

Marc Gentile

There is now very strong evidence that our Universe is undergoing an accelerated expansion period as if it were under the influence of a gravitationally repulsive “dark energy” component. Furthermore, most of the mass of the Universe seems to be in the for ...

Quantifying the faint structure of galaxies: the late-type spiral NGC 2403

Pascale Jablonka

Ground-based surveys have mapped the stellar outskirts of Local Group disc galaxies in unprecedented detail, but extending this work to other galaxies is necessary in order to overcome stochastic variations in evolutionary history and provide more stringen ...

Extremely metal-poor stars in classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Fornax, Sculptor, and Sextans

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North, Martin Tafelmeyer

We present the results of a dedicated search for extremely metal-poor stars in the Fornax, Sculptor, and Sextans dSphs. Five stars were selected from two earlier VLT/Giraffe and HET/HRS surveys and subsequently followed up at high spectroscopic resolution ...
