Journal ArticleDOI
Sersic galaxy with Sersic halo models of early-type galaxies: a tool for N-body simulations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present spherical, non-rotating, isotropic models of early-type galaxies with stellar and dark-matter components both described by deprojected Sersic density profiles, and prove that they represent physically admissible stable systems.
Book ChapterDOI
Variability-Selected AGNs in the VST-SUDARE Survey of the COSMOS Field
D. De Cicco,Serena Falocco,Maurizio Paolillo,Giovanni Covone,Giuseppe Longo,A. Grado,L. Limatola,M. T. Botticella,Giuliano Pignata,Enrico Cappellaro,Mattia Vaccari,Dario Trevese,Fausto Vagnetti,Mara Salvato,M. Radovich,W. N. Brandt,Massimo Capaccioli,Nicola R. Napolitano,Pietro Schipani +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors made use of optical variability to select AGNs in the VST-SUDARE survey of the COSMOS field, and confirmed 95 % of them by means of multiwavelength data from overlapping surveys.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinematic properties of early type galaxy halos using planetary nebulae
Lodovico Coccato,Ortwin Gerhard,Magda Arnaboldi,Payel Das,Nigel G. Douglas,Konrad Kuijken,Michael R. Merrifield,Nicola R. Napolitano,E. Noordermeer,Aaron J. Romanowsky,Massimo Capaccioli,Arianna Cortesi,F. De Lorenzi +12 more
TL;DR: Coccato et al. as discussed by the authors studied the kinematics of the halo of 16 early type galaxies out to 5-10 effective radii using Planetary Nebulae (PNe) as kinematic tracers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Forming Wide Polar Ring Galaxy at z~0.05 in the VST Deep Field of the Fornax Cluster
Enrichetta Iodice,Massimo Capaccioli,Marilena Spavone,Nicola R. Napolitano,Aniello Grado,Luca Limatola,Michele Cantiello,P. Schipani +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first deep photometry of a good candidate for a forming polar ring galaxy at redshift z~0.05, which is a background galaxy in the VST deep field of the Fornax cluster.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further spectroscopic observations of the CSL-1 object
TL;DR: In this article, the spectra of the two components of CSL-1 are identical within a confidence level higher than 99.9% and the velocity difference is consistent with zero.
