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

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 ...

Euclid: High-precision imaging astrometry and photometry from Early Release Observations I. Internal kinematics of NGC 6397 by combining Euclid and Gaia data

Frédéric Courbin

The instruments at the focus of the Euclid space observatory offer superb, diffraction-limited imaging over an unprecedented (from space) wide field of view of 0.57 deg2. This exquisite image quality has the potential to produce high-precision astrometry f ...

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 ...

The stellar mass function of quiescent galaxies in 2 < z < 2.5 protoclusters

Pascale Jablonka, Michaela Hirschmann, Yannick Michael Bahé

We present an analysis of the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF) of 14 known protoclusters between 2.0 < z < 2.5 in the COSMOS field, down to a mass limit of 10(9.5) M⊙. We use existing photometric redshifts with a statistical background subtraction, and c ...

Gaia Focused Product Release: Radial velocity time series of long-period variables

Stephan Morgenthaler, Shuangqing Liao

Context. The third Gaia Data Release (DR3) provided photometric time series of more than 2 million long-period variable (LPV) candidates. Anticipating the publication of full radial-velocity data planned with Data Release 4, this Focused Product Release (F ...

Crowded No More: The Accuracy of the Hubble Constant Tested with High-resolution Observations of Cepheids by JWST

Richard Irving Anderson

High-resolution James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations can test confusion-limited Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations for a photometric bias that could affect extragalactic Cepheids and the determination of the Hubble constant. We present JWS ...

An Atlas of Color-selected Quiescent Galaxies at z > 3 in Public JWST Fields

Michaela Hirschmann, Minju Lee

We present the results of a systematic search for candidate quiescent galaxies in the distant universe in 11 JWST fields with publicly available observations collected during the first 3 months of operations and covering an effective sky area of similar to ...

The Cen A galaxy group: Dynamical mass and missing baryons

Oliver Müller

The nearby elliptical galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A) is surrounded by a flattened system of dwarf satellite galaxies with coherent motions. Using a novel Bayesian approach, we measured the mean rotation velocity nu(rot) and velocity dispersion sigma(int) of th ...

Does concentration drive the scatter in the stellar-to-halo mass relation of galaxy clusters?

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

Concentration is one of the key dark matter halo properties that could drive the scatter in the stellar-to-halo mass relation of massive clusters. We derive robust photometric stellar masses for a sample of brightest central galaxies (BCGs) in SDSS REDMAPP ...

The Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: exploring the halo occupation distribution model for emission line galaxies

Cheng Zhao, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Amélie Tamone

We study the modelling of the halo occupation distribution (HOD) for the eBOSS DR16 emission line galaxies (ELGs). Motivated by previous theoretical and observational studies, we consider different physical effects that can change how ELGs populate haloes. ...

Mapping substructure in the HST Frontier Fields cluster lenses and in cosmological simulations

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek

We map the lensing-inferred substructure in the first three clusters observed by the Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields (HSTFF) Initiative: Abell 2744 (z = 0.308), MACSJ 0416, (z = 0.396) and MACSJ 1149 (z = 0.543). Statistically resolving dark matter ...

What is the Milky Way outer halo made of? High resolution spectroscopy of distant red giants

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North

In a framework where galaxies form hierarchically, extended stellar haloes are predicted to be an ubiquitous feature around Milky Way-like galaxies and to consist mainly of the shredded stellar component of smaller galactic systems. The type of accreted st ...

Systematic or signal? How dark matter misalignments can bias strong lensing models of galaxy clusters

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Richard Harvey

We explore how assuming that mass traces light in strong gravitational lensing models can lead to systematic errors in the predicted position of multiple images. Using a model based on the galaxy cluster MACS J0416 (z = 0.397) from the Hubble Frontier Fiel ...

The behaviour of dark matter associated with four bright cluster galaxies in the 10 kpc core of Abell 3827

David Richard Harvey

Galaxy cluster Abell 3827 hosts the stellar remnants of four almost equally bright elliptical galaxies within a core of radius 10 kpc. Such corrugation of the stellar distribution is very rare, and suggests recent formation by several simultaneous mergers. ...

First galaxy-galaxy lensing measurement of satellite halo mass in the CFHT Stripe-82 Survey

Searching for dark matter in X-rays: how to check the dark matter origin of a spectral feature

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

A signal from decaying dark matter (DM) can be unambiguously distinguished from spectral features of astrophysical or instrumental origin by studying its spatial distribution. We demonstrate this approach by examining the recent claim of Loewenstein and Ku ...
