Descripción
Deep broad-band BVRI photometry of a sample of 22 closely interacting isolated galaxy pairs is presented. The sample consists of pairs with a large variety of orbital geometries, but most of them are M51-type pairs: a small companion in the vicinity of a prominent two-armed spiral. This subsample will be later modelled in detail with N-body simulations. Nine of the thirteen M51-type pairs show enhanced star formation in the central regions of the companions, detected in B-V or R-I color maps, and only one pair in the nucleus of the main galaxy. This is expected if there is mass transfer from the main galaxy to the companion. Some pairs with larger separation, and with more massive companions show global instabilities manifesting as strong color gradients at least in one of the members.

    Stellar halo density with LAMOST K and M giants

    Aims: We derive the morphology of the stellar component in the outer halo volume, and search for possible overdensities due to substructures therein. Methods: We made use of some of the data releases of the spectroscopic survey LAMOST DR8-DR9 in tandem with distance determinations for two subsamples, that is, of K-giants and M-giants, respectively

    Euclid preparation. XXXVII. Galaxy colour selections with Euclid and ground photometry for cluster weak-lensing analyses

    Aims: We derived galaxy colour selections from Euclid and ground-based photometry, aiming to accurately define background galaxy samples in cluster weak-lensing analyses. These selections have been implemented in the Euclid data analysis pipelines for galaxy clusters. Methods: Given any set of photometric bands, we developed a method for the

    The discovery space of ELT-ANDES. Stars and stellar populations

    The ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph (ANDES) is the optical and near-infrared high-resolution echelle spectrograph envisioned for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). We present a selection of science cases, supported by new calculations and simulations, where ANDES could enable major advances in the fields of stars and stellar
