We describe the construction and study of an objectively defined sample of early-type galaxies in low-density environments. The sample galaxies are selected...
Early-type galaxies in the EGS (Fernandez Lorenzo+, 2011)
Physical parameters for 135 early-type galaxies in the Extended Groth Strip (EGS). For each galaxy equatorial coordinates, total magnitudes in B and g-bands...
Effect of the initial mass function on the dynamical SMBH mass estimate in the nucleated early-type galaxy FCC 47
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and nuclear star clusters (NSCs) co-exist in many galaxies. While the formation history of the black hole is essentially lost...
Effect of the local and large-scale environment on the star formation histories of galaxies
Context. The specific environment of galaxies may play a key role in their evolution. Large extragalactic surveys make it possible to study galaxies not only...
Eight more ultra luminous X-ray candidates unmasked
Aims:We aim to identify the nature of several objects previously catalogued as ultra-luminous X-ray (ULX) source candidates. Methods: Long-slit spectroscopy of...
Una investigación internacional, liderada por el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) y la Universidad de La Laguna (ULL), encuentra la primera evidencia...
