Chemical abundances in Seyfert galaxies : X. sulphur abundance estimates
(2023) [Artigo de periódico]For the first time, the sulphur abundance relative to hydrogen (S/H) in the narrow-line regions of a sample of Seyfert 2 nuclei (Sy 2s) has been derived via direct estimation of the electron temperature. Narrow emission-line ... -
Deep surface photometry of edge-on spirals in Abell galaxy clusters constraining environmental effects
(2008) [Artigo de periódico]Context. There is a clear scarcity of structural parameters for stellar thick discs, especially for spiral galaxies located in high-density regions, such as galaxy clusters and compact groups. Aims. We have modelled the ... -
DES J0454−4448 : discovery of the first luminous z ≥ 6 quasar from the Dark Energy Survey
(2015) [Artigo de periódico]We present the first results of a survey for high-redshift, z ≥ 6, quasars using izY multicolour photometric observations from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Here we report the discovery and spectroscopic confirmation of ... -
Detecting massive galaxies at high redshift using the Dark Energy Survey
(2013) [Artigo de periódico]The Dark Energy Survey (DES) will be unprecedented in its ability to probe exceptionally large cosmic volumes to relatively faint optical limits. Primarily designed for the study of comparatively low-redshift (z<2) galaxies ... -
Estimating stellar birth radii and the time evolution of Milky Way’s ISM metallicity gradient
(2018) [Artigo de periódico]We present a semi-empirical, largelymodel-independent approach for estimatingGalactic birth radii, rbirth, for Milky Way disc stars. The technique relies on the justifiable assumption that a negative radial metallicity ... -
Galaxy cluster mergers as triggers for the formation of jellyfish galaxies : case study of the A901/2 system
(2019) [Artigo de periódico]The A901/2 system is a rare case of galaxy cluster interaction, in which two galaxy clusters and two smaller groups are seen in route of collision with each other simultaneously. Within each of the four substructures, ... -
Globular cluster systems of relic galaxies
(2021) [Artigo de periódico]We analyse the globular cluster (GC) systems of a sample of 15 massive, compact early-type galaxies (ETGs), 13 of which have already been identified as good relic galaxy candidates on the basis of their compact morphologies, ... -
J-PLUS : two-dimensional analysis of the stellar population in NGC 5473 and NGC 5485
(2019) [Artigo de periódico]Context. The spatial variations of stellar population properties within a galaxy are intimately related to their formation process. Therefore, spatially resolved studies of galaxies are essential to uncover their formation ... -
Kinematics with Gaia DR2 : the force of a dwarf
(2019) [Artigo de periódico]We use Gaia DR2 astrometric and line-of-sight velocity information combined with two sets of distances obtained with a Bayesian inference method to study the 3D velocity distribution in the Milky Way disc. We search for ... -
Optical and mid-infrared neon abundance determinations in star-forming regions
(2013) [Artigo de periódico]We have used observational spectroscopic data of star-forming regions compiled from the literature and photoionization models to analyse the neon ionic abundances obtained using both optical and mid-infrared emission lines. ... -
Oxygen abundances in the narrow line regions of Seyfert galaxies and the metallicity–luminosity relation
(2023) [Artigo de periódico]We present oxygen abundances relative to hydrogen (O/H) in the narrow line regions (NLRs) gas phases of Seyferts 1 (Sy 1s) and Seyferts 2 (Sy 2s) active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We used fluxes of the optical narrow emission ... -
Photoionization of very high excitation gas in circinus galaxy and other active galactic nuclei
(1997) [Artigo de periódico]Recent measurements of the Circinus galaxy with ISO by Moorwood et al. (1996) have confirmed the extremely high excitation of the emission-line spectrum in this active galaxy. Moorwood et al. modelled the spectrum in terms ... -
Relic galaxy analogues in TNG50 simulation : the formation pathways of surviving red nuggets in a cosmological simulation
(2022) [Artigo de periódico]Relic galaxies are massive compact quiescent galaxies that formed at high-redshift and remained almost unchanged since then. In this work, we search for analogues to relic galaxies in the TNG50 cosmological simulations to ... -
Sc and neutron-capture abundances in Galactic low- and high-α field halo stars
(2017) [Artigo de periódico]We determine relative abundance ratios for the neutron-capture elements Zr, La, Ce, Nd and Eu for a sample of 27 Galactic dwarf stars with −1.5 < [Fe/H] < −0.8. We also measure the iron-peak element Sc. These stars separate ... -

SDSS-IV MaNGA : excavating the fossil record of stellar populations in spiral galaxies
(2020) [Artigo de periódico]We perform a ‘fossil record’ analysis for ≈800 low-redshift spiral galaxies, using STARLIGHT applied to integral field spectroscopic observations from the SDSS-IV MaNGA survey to obtain fully spatially resolved high-resolution ... -
