Massive Early-Type Galaxies (ETGs) in the local Universe are believed to be the most mature stage of galaxy evolution. Their stellar population content reveals...
Strong Evidence of Anomalous Microwave Emission from the Flux Density Spectrum of M31
We have observed the Andromeda galaxy, Messier 31 (M31), at 6.7 GHz with the Sardinia Radio Telescope. We mapped the radio emission in the C-band, re-analyzed...
Strong lensing reveals jets in a sub-microJy radio-quiet quasar
We present e-MERLIN and European VLBI Network observations which reveal unambiguous jet activity within radio-quiet quasar HS 0810+2554. With an intrinsic flux...
Strong size evolution of disc galaxies since z = 1. Readdressing galaxy growth using a physically motivated size indicator
Our understanding of how the size of galaxies has evolved over cosmic time is based on the use of the half-light (effective) radius as a size indicator...
Strong size evolution of the most massive galaxies since z ~ 2
Using the combined capabilities of the large near-infrared Palomar/DEEP-2 survey, and the superb resolution of the Advanced Camera for Surveys HST camera, we...
Strong spectral features from asymptotic giant branch stars in distant quiescent galaxies
Dating the ages and weighting the stellar populations in galaxies are essential steps when studying galaxy formation through cosmic times. Evolutionary...
In the context of a more extensive project, a study of the structural components of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 5850 is presented here, using U, B, V, R, and I...
Structural properties of disk galaxies. I. The intrinsic equatorial ellipticity of bulges
Context: A variety of formation scenarios have been proposed to explain the diversity of properties observed in bulges. Studying their intrinsic shape can help...
