Journal ArticleDOI
The Diffuse Light in Simulations of Galaxy Clusters
Giuseppe Murante,Magda Arnaboldi,Ortwin Gerhard,Stefano Borgani,L.-M. Cheng,Antonaldo Diaferio,Klaus Dolag,Lauro Moscardini,Giuseppe Tormen,Luca Tornatore,Paolo Tozzi +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the properties of diffuse light in galaxy clusters forming in a large hydrodynamical cosmological simulation of the Λ cold dark matter cosmology and find that more massive simulated clusters have a larger fraction of stars in the diffuse light than the less massive ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
The old nuclear star cluster in the Milky Way: dynamics, mass, statistical parallax, and black hole mass
Sotiris Chatzopoulos,Tobias K. Fritz,Ortwin Gerhard,Stefan Gillessen,Chris Wegg,Reinhard Genzel,Oliver Pfuhl +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived new constraints on the mass, rotation, orbit structure and statistical parallax of the Galactic old nuclear star cluster (NSC) and the mass of the supermassive black hole.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of 9 Ly alpha emitters at redshift z~3.1 using narrow-band imaging and VLT spectroscopy
R. P. Kudritzki,Roberto H. Méndez,John J. Feldmeier,R. Ciardullo,G. H. Jacoby,Kenneth C. Freeman,M. Arnaboldi,Massimo Capaccioli,Ortwin Gerhard,Holland C. Ford +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used simple population synthesis models, on the assumption that these sources are regions of star formation, to detect 9 Ly alpha emitters at z = 3.13, obtained with the FORS spectrograph at Unit 1 of the ESO Very Large Telescope.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring the non-thermal pressure in early-type galaxy atmospheres: a comparison of X-ray and optical potential profiles in M87 and NGC 1399
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the potential profiles of the elliptical galaxies NGC 4486 (M87) and NGC 1399 (the central galaxy in the Fornax cluster) derived from X-ray and optical data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used simple population synthesis models to identify nine Lyα emitters at z = 3.13 with fluxes between 2 × 10-17 and 2 ×10-16 ergs cm-2 s-1 obtained with the FORS spectrograph at Unit 1 of the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT UT1).
