Reconciling concentration to virial mass relations
Context. The concentration-virial mass (c-M) relation is a fundamental scaling relation within the standard cold dark matter (ΛCDM) framework well established...
Reconstructing the mass accretion histories of nearby red nuggets with their globular cluster systems
It is generally recognized that massive galaxies form through a combination of in-situ collapse and ex-situ accretion. The in-situ component forms early, where...
Reconstructing the Stellar Mass Distributions of Galaxies Using S4G IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 μm Images. I. Correcting for Contamination by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Hot Dust, and Intermediate-age Stars
With the aim of constructing accurate two-dimensional maps of the stellar mass distribution in nearby galaxies from Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in...
Reconstructing the Stellar Mass Distributions of Galaxies Using S4G IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 μm Images. II. The Conversion from Light to Mass
We present a new approach for estimating the 3.6 μm stellar mass-to-light (M/L) ratio Upsilon3.6 in terms of the [3.6]-[4.5] colors of old stellar populations...
Recovering chemical bimodalities in observed edge-on stellar disks: Insights from AURIGA simulations
The well-known bimodal distribution of Milky Way disk stars in the [α/Fe]–metallicity plane is often used to define thick and thin disks. In external edge-on...
Recovering star formation histories: Integrated-light analyses vs. stellar colour-magnitude diagrams
Context. Accurate star formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies are fundamental for understanding the build-up of their stellar content. However, the most...
Recovering the ages and metallicities of stars of a complex stellar population system
We present a new method to solve for the star-formation history (SFH) of a complex stellar population system from the analysis of the color-magnitude diagram...
Recurrence of the Blue Wing Enhancements in the High-Ionization Lines of SDSS 1004+4112A
We present integral field spectroscopic observations of the quadruple-lensed QSO SDSS 1004+4112 taken with the fiber system INTEGRAL at the William Herschel...
Red Supergiants as Cosmic Abundance Probes: Massive Star Clusters in M83 and the Mass–Metallicity Relation of Nearby Galaxies
We present an abundance analysis of seven super star clusters in the disk of M83. The near-infrared spectra of these clusters are dominated by red supergiants...
