Descripción
Studying the properties of the few compact massive galaxies that exist in the local Universe might provide a closer look to the nature of their high redshift (z ≥ 1.0) massive counterparts. By this means we have characterized their kinematics, structural properties, stellar populations and star formation histories with a set of new high quality spectroscopic and imaging data. These galaxies seem to be truly unique, as they do not follow the characteristic kinematical, density profiles and stellar population patterns of present-day massive ellipticals or spirals. Summarizing, local compact massive galaxies are rare, unique and the perfect laboratory to study their high redshift counterparts.

    The Aligned Orbit of a Hot Jupiter around the M Dwarf TOI-4201
    Measuring the obliquities of stars hosting giant planets may shed light on the dynamical history of planetary systems. Significant efforts have been made to measure the obliquities of FGK stars with hot Jupiters, mainly based on observations of the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect. In contrast, M dwarfs with hot Jupiters have hardly been explored because

    Einasto Gravitational Potentials have Difficulty to Hold Spherically Symmetric Stellar Systems with Cores
    It was known that an ideal spherically symmetric stellar system with isotropic velocities and an inner core cannot reside in a Navarro, Frenk, and White (NFW) gravitational potential. The incompatibility can be pinned down to the radial gradient of the NFW potential in the very center of the system, which differs from zero. The gradient is

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky
