The most variable VVV sources: eruptive protostars, dipping giants in the Nuclear Disc and others
(2024-02-01)
We have performed a comprehensive search of a VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) data base of 9.5 yr light curves for variable sources with ΔKs ≥ 4 mag, aiming to provide a large sample of high amplitude eruptive young ...
Emergence and cosmic evolution of the Kennicutt-Schmidt relation driven by interstellar turbulence
(2024-01-31)
The scaling relations between the gas content and star formation rate of galaxies provide useful insights into the processes governing their formation and evolution. We investigated the emergence and the physical drivers ...
Exploring the radio-loudness of SDSS quasars with spectral stacking
(2024-01-22)
We use new 144 MHz observations over 5634 deg 2 from the LOFAR (Low Frequency Array) Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) to compile the largest sample of uniformly selected, spectroscopically confirmed quasars from the 14th data ...
BEAGLE-AGN I: simultaneous constraints on the properties of gas in star-forming and AGN narrow-line regions in galaxies
(2024-01-01)
We present the addition of nebular emission from the narrow-line regions (NLR) surrounding active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to beagle (BayEsian Analysis of GaLaxy sEds). Using a set of idealized spectra, we fit to a set of ...
Low-mass bursty galaxies in JADES efficiently produce ionizing photons and could represent the main drivers of reionization
(2024-01-01)
We use deep imaging from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) to study the evolution of the ionizing photon production efficiency, ζion. We estimate ζion for a sample of 677 galaxies at z ∼4-9 using NIRCam ...
Ultracool Spectroscopic Outliers in Gaia DR3
(2024-01-01)
Gaia DR3 provided a first release of RP spectra and astrophysical parameters for ultracool dwarfs (UCDs). We used these Gaia RP spectra and astrophysical parameters to select the most outlying UCDs. These objects have ...
Optimal metallicity diagnostics for MUSE observations of low-z galaxies
(2024-01-01)
The relatively red wavelength range (4800-9300 Å) of the VLT Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) limits which metallicity diagnostics can be used; in particular excluding those requiring the []λλ3726,29 doublet. We ...
The impact of supernova feedback on the mass-metallicity relations
(2024-01-01)
Metallicity is a fundamental physical property that strongly constrains galaxy formation and evolution. The formation of stars in galaxies is suppressed by the energy released from supernova explosions and can be enhanced ...
Molecular and ionized gas in tidal dwarf galaxies: the spatially resolved star formation relation
(2023-12-31)
Tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) are low-mass objects that form within tidal and/or collisional debris ejected from more massive interacting galaxies. We use CO($1-0$) observations from ALMA and integral-field spectroscopy from ...
Emission-line properties of IllustrisTNG galaxies: from local diagnostic diagrams to high-redshift predictions for JWST
(2023-12-01)
We compute synthetic, rest-frame optical and ultraviolet (UV) emission-line properties of galaxy populations at redshifts from z ≈ 0 to = 8 in a full cosmological framework. We achieve this by coupling, in post-processing, ...
