Properties of the Photometric Components of Lenticular Galaxies

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
After almost one century since their definition, the origin of lenticular galaxies is still a matter of debate. Several formation processes have been proposed in order to explain the wide variety of their observational properties. These properties could indicate that the class of lenticulars is a family formed by galaxies with different formations and ...

Carbon and nitrogen abundances of individual stars in the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We present [C/Fe] and [N/Fe] abundance ratios and CH(lambda 4300) and S(lambda 3883) index measurements for 94 red giant branch (RGB) stars in the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy from VLT/VIMOS MOS observations at a resolving power R = 1150 at 4020 A ...

Exploring the Evolution of a Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy with SPH Simulations. II. AGN Feedback

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback from an intermediate-mass black hole at the center of a dwarf spheroidal galaxy, by performing isolated galaxy simulations using a modified version of the GADGET-3 code. We consider Leo II (PGC 34176)

On the Hunt for the Origins of the Orphan–Chenab Stream: Detailed Element Abundances with APOGEE and Gaia

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Stellar streams in the Galactic halo are useful probes of the assembly of galaxies like the Milky Way. Many tidal stellar streams that have been found in recent years are accompanied by a known progenitor globular cluster or dwarf galaxy.

The Chemical Composition of Local Group Dwarf Spheroidals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
I will review the progress of VLT spectroscopy of large numbers of individual stars in nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxies. This spectroscopy has allowed us to obtain detailed insights into the chemical and dynamical properties of the resolved stellar population in these nearby systems.

STELLAR SUBSTRUCTURES AROUND THE HERCULES DWARF SPHEROIDAL GALAXY [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We present deep g and i band Dark Energy Camera stellar photometry of the Hercules Milky Way satellite galaxy, and its surrounding field, out to a radial distance of 5.4 times the tidal radius.

Dark Matter Gamma-ray searches in Galaxy Clusters: Status and prospects [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences
Galaxy clusters are the largest structures in the Universe, being dark matter (DM) dominated objects. For DM decay, they yield the highest expected fluxes with respect to other prime targets.

THE HOT DARK MATTER MODEL: FURTHER INVESTIGATION

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2020
e outer region with the dominant hot dark matter (the parabolic orbit of the test particle). It was assumed that the hot dark matter consists of hypothetical Planck neutrinos arising in the decay of the protons at the Planck scale.
