A Merging Pair of Massive Quiescent Galaxies at z=3.44 in the Cosmic Vine

Michaela Hirschmann, Marion Nancy Amandine Farcy

We report the spectroscopic confirmation of a merging pair of massive quiescent galaxies at z = 3.44. Using JWST observations, we confirm that the two galaxies lie at a projected separation of 4.5 kpc with a velocity offset of similar to 680 km s(-1) (delt ...

Evidence of star cluster migration and merger in dwarf galaxies

Oliver Müller

Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are the densest stellar systems in the Universe. These clusters can be found at the centre of all galaxy types but tend to favour galaxies of intermediate stellar mass around 109M⊙ (refs. 1,2). At present, two main processes ar ...

Finding gravitational lenses at the dawn of the new generation of wide-field surveys

Javier Alejandro Acevedo Barroso

Strong gravitational lensing has become one of the main astrophysical probes of the extragalactic universe. It allows precise measurements of deflector galaxy masses. It acts as a cosmic telescope, revealing sources otherwise too dim or small to study. Whe ...

The effect of measurement uncertainties on the inferred stability of planes of satellite galaxies

Salvatore Taibi

Context. Observations have revealed that the Milky Way, Andromeda, Centaurus A, and possibly other galaxies host spatially thin and kinematically coherent planes of satellites. Such structures are highly improbable within the standard ΛCDM cosmological mod ...

The Ionizing Photon Production Efficiency of Star-forming Galaxies at z ∼ 4-10

Michaela Hirschmann

Context. Investigating the ionizing emission of star-forming galaxies and the escape fraction of ionizing photons is critical to understanding their contribution to reionization and their impact on the surrounding environment. The number of ionizing photon ...

The VELOCE modulation zoo III. Detecting additional pulsation modes in optical spectra of classical Cepheids using semi-partial distance correlation periodograms

Kent Barbey, Richard Irving Anderson, Giordano Viviani

Known for their large amplitude radial pulsations, classical Cepheids are critical standard candles in astrophysics. However, they also exhibit various pulsational irregularities and additional signals that provide deeper insights into their structure and ...

Stellar Metallicities and Gradients in the Faint M31 Satellites Andromeda XVI and Andromeda XXVIII

Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We present ∼300 stellar metallicity measurements in two faint M31 dwarf galaxies, Andromeda XVI (M V = −7.5) and Andromeda XXVIII (M V = -8.8), derived using metallicity-sensitive calcium H and K narrowband Hubble Space Telescope imaging. These are the fir ...

The KALEIDOSCOPE survey: a new strong and weak gravitational lensing view of the massive galaxy cluster MACS J1423.8+2404

Benjamin Emmanuel Nicolas Beauchesne

We present a combined strong and weak gravitational-lensing analysis of the massive galaxy cluster MACS J1423.8+2404 (z = 0.545, MACS J1423 hereafter), one of the most dynamically relaxed and massive cool-core clusters discovered in the MAssive Cluster Sur ...

Precision Modeling of JWST's First Cluster Lens SMACS J0723.3-7327*

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Benjamin Emmanuel Nicolas Beauchesne

Exploiting the fundamentally achromatic nature of gravitational lensing, we present a lens model for the massive galaxy cluster SMACS J0723.3-7323 (SMACS J0723; z = 0.388) that significantly improves upon earlier work. Building on strong-lensing constraint ...

Chemical cartography of the Milky Way

Richard Irving Anderson

Context. The motion of stars has been used to reveal details of the complex history of the Milky Way, in constant interaction with its environment. Nevertheless, to reconstruct the Galactic history puzzle in its entirety, the chemo-physical characterisatio ...

Euclid preparation XXV. The Euclid Morphology Challenge: Towards model-fitting photometry for billions of galaxies

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan

The European Space Agency's Euclid mission will provide high-quality imaging for about 1.5 billion galaxies. A software pipeline to automatically process and analyse such a huge amount of data in real time is being developed by the Science Ground Segment o ...

Reeling in the Whirlpool galaxy: Distance to M 51 clarified through Cepheids and the type IIP supernova 2005cs

Richard Irving Anderson

Context. The distance to the Whirlpool galaxy, M 51, is still debated, even though the galaxy has been studied in great detail. Current estimates range from 6.02 to 9.09 Mpc, and different methods yield discrepant results. No Cepheid distance has been publ ...

Astrophysical applications of gravitationally lensed quasars : from dark matter halos to the structure of quasar accretion disks

Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

Gravitational lensing describes how light is deflected as it passes in the vicinity of a mass distribution. The amplitude of the deflection is proportional to the mass of the deflector, called "gravitational lens", and is generally weak, even for large mas ...
