Euclid: A complete Einstein ring in NGC 6505

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Javier Alejandro Acevedo Barroso

We report the discovery of a complete Einstein ring around the elliptical galaxy NGC 6505, at z = 0.042. This is the first strong gravitational lens discovered in Euclid and the first in an NGC object from any survey. The combination of the low redshift of ...

The MBH-M∗ Relation up to z ∼ 2 through Decomposition of COSMOS-Web NIRCam Images

Michaela Hirschmann

Our knowledge of relations between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies at z greater than or similar to 1 is still limited, even though being actively sought out to z similar to 6. Here, we use the high resolution and sensitivity of JWST to mea ...

Euclid preparation: LXVII. Deep learning true galaxy morphologies for weak lensing shear bias calibration

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan

To date, galaxy image simulations for weak lensing surveys usually approximate the light profiles of all galaxies as a single or double Sérsic profile, neglecting the influence of galaxy substructures and morphologies deviating from such a simplified param ...

Virgo Filaments. IV. Using WISE to Measure the Modification of Star-forming Disks in the Extended Regions Around the Virgo Cluster

Pascale Jablonka, Yannick Michael Bahé

Recent theoretical work and targeted observational studies suggest that filaments are sites of galaxy preprocessing. The aim of the WISESize project is to directly probe galaxies over the full range of environments to quantify and characterize extrinsic ga ...

Search for gamma-ray spectral lines from dark-matter annihilation with the DAMPE satellite

Jennifer Maria Frieden

The annihilation of dark-matter particles may lead to the production of monochromatic gamma-ray emission. In this contribution, the search for spectral lines in the gamma-ray spectrum, using eight years of data collected with the space-borne Dark Matter Pa ...

Heavy neutron stars from light scalars

Stefan Stelzl

We study how light scalar fields can change the stellar landscape by triggering a new phase of nuclear matter. Scalars coupled to nucleons can develop a non-trivial expectation value at finite baryon density. This sourcing of a scalar reduces the nucleon m ...

Discovery of a Rare Group of Dwarf Galaxies in the Local Universe

Oliver Müller

We report the discovery of a rare isolated group of five dwarf galaxies located at z = 0.0086 (D = 36 Mpc). All member galaxies are star forming, blue, and gas rich, with g − r indices ranging from 0.2 to 0.6 mag, and two of them show signs of ongoing mutu ...

The effect of cosmic rays on the observational properties of the CGM

Marion Nancy Amandine Farcy

The circumgalactic medium (CGM) contains information on the cumulative effect of galactic outflows over time, generally thought to be caused by feedback from star formation and active galactic nuclei. Observations of such outflows via absorption in CGM gas ...

CLASSY. VIII. Exploring the Source of Ionization with UV Interstellar Medium Diagnostics in Local High-z Analogs

Adèle Marie Françoise Plat

In the current JWST era, rest-frame UV spectra play a crucial role in enhancing our understanding of the interstellar medium (ISM) and stellar properties of the first galaxies in the epoch of reionization (z > 6). Here, we compare well-known and reliable o ...

The H I covering fraction of Lyman Limit Systems in FIRE haloes

Lucas Tortora

Atomic hydrogen (H i) serves a crucial role in connecting galactic-scale properties such as star formation with the large-scale structure of the Universe. While recent numerical simulations have successfully matched the observed covering fraction of H i ne ...

Euclid preparation: XLIX. Selecting active galactic nuclei using observed colours

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan

The Euclid space mission will cover over 14 000 deg2 with two optical and near-infrared spectro-photometric instruments, and is expected to detect around ten million active galactic nuclei (AGN). This unique data set will make a considerable impact on our ...

Magnetic field morphology and evolution in the Central Molecular Zone and its effect on gas dynamics

Michaela Hirschmann, Robin Gopala Tress

The interstellar medium in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is known to be strongly magnetised, but its large-scale morphology and impact on the gas dynamics are not well understood. We explore the impact and properties of magnetic fields in th ...

Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry

Richard Irving Anderson, Mauricio Cruz Reyes

Context. Gravitational waves from black-hole (BH) merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected based on most stellar evolution models-And also higher than known ...

Euclid preparation: XXXVIII. Spectroscopy of active galactic nuclei with NISP

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan

All rights reserved.The statistical distribution and evolution of key properties of active galactic nuclei (AGN), such as their accretion rate, mass, and spin, remains a subject of open debate in astrophysics. The ESA Euclid space mission, launched on July ...

New dwarf galaxy candidates in the sphere of influence of the Local Volume spiral galaxy NGC2683

Oliver Müller

We present initial results of a survey of host L-* galaxies environments in the Local Volume (D < 10 Mpc) searching for satellite dwarf galaxy candidates using the wide-field Hyper Suprime-Cam imager on the 8 m Subaru Telescope. This paper presents complet ...

Spectral Templates Optimal for Selecting Galaxies at z > 8 with the JWST

Michaela Hirschmann

The selection of high-redshift galaxies often involves spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to photometric data, an expectation for contamination levels, and measurement of sample completeness-all vetted through comparison to spectroscopic redshift m ...
