    Fornax 3D project: Assessing the diversity of IMF and stellar population maps within the Fornax Cluster
    The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is central to our interpretation of astronomical observables and to our understanding of most baryonic processes within...

    Fornax 3D project: Automated detection of planetary nebulae in the centres of early-type galaxies and first results
    Extragalactic planetary nebulae (PNe) are detectable through relatively strong nebulous [O III] emission and act as direct probes into the local stellar...

    Fornax3D project: Assembly history of massive early-type galaxies in the Fornax cluster from deep imaging and integral field spectroscopy
    This work is based on high-quality integral-field spectroscopic data obtained with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the Very Large Telescope (VLT...

    Fornax3D project: Overall goals, galaxy sample, MUSE data analysis, and initial results
    The Fornax cluster provides a uniquely compact laboratory in which to study the detailed history of early-type galaxies and the role played by the environment...

    Fossil group origins. II. Unveiling the formation of the brightest group galaxies through their scaling relations
    Context. Fossil systems are galaxy associations dominated by a relatively isolated, bright elliptical galaxy, surrounded by a group of smaller galaxies lacking...

    Fossil group origins. III. The relation between optical and X-ray luminosities
    Aims: This study is part of the Fossil group origins (FOGO) project which aims to carry out a systematic and multiwavelength study of a large sample of fossil...
  • Publication
    Fossil group origins. IV. Characterization of the sample and observational properties of fossil systems
    Context. Virialized halos grow by the accretion of smaller ones in the cold dark matter scenario. The rate of accretion depends on the different properties of...

    Fossil group origins. IX. Probing the formation of fossil galaxy groups with stellar population gradients of their central galaxies
    Context. Fossil groups (FGs) are galaxy aggregates with an extended and luminous X-ray halo, which are dominated by a very massive early-type galaxy and lack of...
  • Publication
    Fossil group origins. V. The dependence of the luminosity function on the magnitude gap
    Context. In nature we observe galaxy aggregations that span a wide range of magnitude gaps between the two first-ranked galaxies of a system (Δm12). Thus, there...
