Galactic-Field Initial Mass Functions of Massive Stars
Over the past years observations of young and populous star clusters have shown that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) appears to be an invariant...
Galaxies at z>7: Probing galaxy formation with the new generation of NIR Instruments
We present the results obtained from our deep survey of lensing clusters aimed at constraining the abundance of star-forming galaxies at z ˜ 6-11. Lensing...
Jairo Méndez Abreu and Adriana de Lorenzo-Cáceres, researchers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), have discovered a peanut-shaped structure in...
An international team of astronomers led by Giuseppina Battaglia, researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), finds signs that the outer halo...
Galaxies with monstrous black holes in galaxy cluster environments
Massive early-type galaxies follow a tight relation between the mass of their central supermassive black hole (MBH) and their stellar mass (M⋆). The origin of...
Galaxies within galaxies in the TIMER survey: stellar populations of inner bars are scaled replicas of main bars
Inner bars are frequent structures in the local Universe and thought to substantially influence the nuclear regions of disc galaxies. In this study we explore...
Galaxies-intergalactic medium interaction calculation - I. Galaxy formation as a function of large-scale environment
We present the first results of hydrodynamical simulations that follow the formation of galaxies to the present day in nearly spherical regions of radius ~20h...
Galaxy classification: deep learning on the OTELO and COSMOS databases
Context. The accurate classification of hundreds of thousands of galaxies observed in modern deep surveys is imperative if we want to understand the universe...
Galaxy cluster matter profiles: I. Self-similarity, mass calibration, and observable-mass relation validation employing cluster mass posteriors
We present a study of the weak lensing inferred matter profiles ΔΣ(R) of 698 South Pole Telescope (SPT) thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (tSZE) selected and...
