The effects that environment produce on galaxy disks and how they modify the subsequent formation of bars need to be distinguished to fully understand the...
Major tests of cosmological and galaxy formation models can be constructed through dynamical and structural parameters of galaxies. Towards this end, we present...
Young, Blue, and Isolated Stellar Systems in the Virgo Cluster. I. 2D Optical Spectroscopy
We use panoramic optical spectroscopy obtained with the Very Large Telescope/MUSE to investigate the nature of five candidate extremely isolated low-mass star...
Young, Blue, and Isolated Stellar Systems in the Virgo Cluster. II. A New Class of Stellar System
We discuss five blue stellar systems in the direction of the Virgo cluster, analogous to the enigmatic object SECCO 1 (AGC 226067). These objects were...
