Euclid: Early Release Observations – Unveiling the morphology of two Milky Way globular clusters out to their periphery

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan

As part of the Euclid Early Release Observations (ERO) programme, we analysed deep, wide-field imaging from the VIS and NISP instruments of two Milky Way globular clusters (GCs), namely NGC 6254 (M10) and NGC 6397, to look for observational evidence of the ...

Evolution of the UV slope of galaxies at cosmic morning (z > 4): The properties of extremely blue galaxies

Michaela Hirschmann

We present an analysis of the UV continuum slope, β, using a sample of 726 galaxies with z > 4, selected from a mixture of JWST ERS, GTO, and GO observational programs. We considered only spectroscopic data obtained with the low-resolution (R ∼ 30−300) PRI ...

Euclid preparation: LXX. Forecasting detection limits for intracluster light in the Euclid Wide Survey

Georges Meylan

The intracluster light (ICL) permeating galaxy clusters is a tracer of the cluster assembly history and potentially a tracer of their dark matter structure. In this work, we explore the capability of the Euclid Wide Survey to detect ICL using HE-band mock ...

Rubies: Jwst/nirspec Confirmation of an Infrared-luminous, Broad-line Little Red Dot with an Ionized Outflow

Michaela Hirschmann

The JWST discovery of "little red dots" (LRDs) is reshaping our picture of the early Universe, yet the physical mechanisms driving their compact size and UV-optical colors remain elusive. Here, we report an unusually bright LRD (zspec = 3.1) observed as pa ...

Inferring the efficiency of convective-envelope overshooting in red giant branch stars

Saniya Khan

The understanding of mixing processes in stars is crucial to improving our knowledge of the chemical abundances in stellar photospheres and their variation with evolutionary phase. This is fundamental for many astrophysical issues on all scales, ranging fr ...

The satellite galaxy plane of NGC 4490 in light of ΛCDM: Sparsity of similarly extreme analogs and a possible role of satellite pairs

Oliver Müller, Nick Heesters

Context. The system of galaxies around NGC 4490 was recently highlighted to display a flattened, kinematically correlated structure reminiscent of planes of satellite galaxies around other hosts. Aims. Since known satellite planes are in tension with expec ...

Dwarf galaxies as a probe of a primordially magnetized Universe

Yves Revaz, Salim Bennouna, Mahsa Sanati

Aims. The true nature of primordial magnetic fields (PMFs) and their role in the formation of galaxies remains elusive. To shed light on these unknowns, we investigated their impact by varying two sets of properties: (i) accounting for the effect of PMFs o ...

The phase-space distribution of the M 81 satellite system

Oliver Müller, Nick Heesters

The spatial distribution of dwarf galaxies around their host galaxies is a critical test for the standard model of cosmology because it probes the dynamics of dark matter halos and is independent of the internal baryonic processes of galaxies. Comoving pla ...

A case study of an early galaxy cluster with the Athena X-IFU

Yannick Michael Bahé

Context. Observations of the hot gas in distant clusters of galaxies, though challenging, are key to understanding the role of intense galaxy activity, supermassive black hole feedback, and chemical enrichment in the process of massive halo assembly.|Aims. ...

Crimson Behemoth: A massive clumpy structure hosting a dusty AGN at z =4.91

Michaela Hirschmann

The current paradigm for the co-evolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes postulates that dust-obscured active galactic nuclei (AGNs) represent a transitional phase towards a more luminous and unobscured state. However, our understanding of ...

PHANGS-JWST First Results: Rapid Evolution of Star Formation in the Central Molecular Gas Ring of NGC 1365

Robin Gopala Tress

Large-scale bars can fuel galaxy centers with molecular gas, often leading to the development of dense ringlike structures where intense star formation occurs, forming a very different environment compared to galactic disks. We pair similar to 0 3'' (30 pc ...
