Bulge mass is king: the dominant role of the bulge in determining the fraction of passive galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the origin of galaxy bimodality by quantifying the relative role of intrinsic and environmental drivers to the cessation (or ''quenching") of star formation in over half a million local Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI

4MOST: Project overview and information for the First Call for Proposals

Roelof S. de Jong, +340 more
- 01 Mar 2019 - 
TL;DR: The 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST), a new high-multiplex, wide-field spectroscopic survey facility under development for the four-metres-class Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) at Paranal, is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Binarity in carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars

TL;DR: In this article, the binary properties of three carbon-enhanced subclasses of CEMP-s stars were investigated and compared with a binary fraction with a shorter period distribution of at maximum ~20,000 days, which greatly strengthened the hypothesis that a similar binary mass transfer origin is responsible for their chemical patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Star Formation & Chemical Evolution History of the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented deep photometry in the B,V and I filters from CTIO/MOSAIC for about 270.000 stars in the Fornax dwarf Spheroidal galaxy, out to a radius of r_ell\sim 0.8 degrees.
Journal ArticleDOI

The star formation and chemical evolution history of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combined deep photometry in the B, V and I bands from CTIO/MOSAIC of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, going down to the oldest main sequence turn-offs, with spectroscopic metallicity distributions of red giant branch stars.
