Journal Article
Dutta, R., Fumagalli, M., Fossati, M., Lofthouse, E. K., Prochaska, J. X., Battaia, F. A., …O’Meara, J. M. (2020). MUSE Analysis of Gas around Galaxies (MAGG) - II: Metal-enriched halo gas around z ∼ 1 galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 499(4), 5022-5046. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa3147

We present a study of the metal-enriched cool halo gas traced by Mg II absorption around 228 galaxies at z ∼ 0.8–1.5 within 28 quasar fields from the MUSE Analysis of Gas around Galaxies survey. We observe no significant evolution in the Mg II equiva... Read More about MUSE Analysis of Gas around Galaxies (MAGG) - II: Metal-enriched halo gas around z ∼ 1 galaxies.

The ram pressure stripped radio tails of galaxies in the Coma cluster (2020)
Journal Article
Roediger, E., Yoshida, M., Ge, C., Sarazin, C., Nulsen, P., Boselli, A., …Chen, H. (2020). The ram pressure stripped radio tails of galaxies in the Coma cluster. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 496(4), 4654-4673. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa1868

Previous studies have revealed a population of galaxies in galaxy clusters with ram pressure stripped (RPS) tails of gas and embedded young stars. We observed 1.4 GHz continuum and H I emission with the Very Large Array in its B-configuration in two... Read More about The ram pressure stripped radio tails of galaxies in the Coma cluster.

The Regulation of Galaxy Growth along the Size–Mass Relation by Star Formation, as Traced by Hα in KMOS3D Galaxies at 0.7 ≲ z ≲ 2.7 (2020)
Journal Article
Wilman, D. J., Fossati, M., Mendel, J. T., Saglia, R., Wisnioski, E., Wuyts, S., …Dokkum, P. V. (2020). The Regulation of Galaxy Growth along the Size–Mass Relation by Star Formation, as Traced by Hα in KMOS3D Galaxies at 0.7 ≲ z ≲ 2.7. Astrophysical Journal, 892(1), Article 1. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ab7914

We present half-light sizes measured from $\,{\rm{H}}\alpha $ emission tracing star formation in 281 star-forming galaxies from the $\,{\mathrm{KMOS}}^{3{\rm{D}}}$ survey at $\,0.7\lesssim z\lesssim 2.7$. Sizes are derived by fitting 2D exponential d... Read More about The Regulation of Galaxy Growth along the Size–Mass Relation by Star Formation, as Traced by Hα in KMOS3D Galaxies at 0.7 ≲ z ≲ 2.7.

Into the Lyα jungle: exploring the circumgalactic medium of galaxies at z ∼ 4 − 5 with MUSE (2020)
Journal Article
Bielby, R. M., Fumagalli, M., Fossati, M., Rafelski, M., Oppenheimer, B., Cantalupo, S., …Peroux, C. (2020). Into the Lyα jungle: exploring the circumgalactic medium of galaxies at z ∼ 4 − 5 with MUSE. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 493(4), 5336-5356. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa546

We present a study of the galaxy environment of 9 strong H I+C IV absorption line systems (16.2 < log(N(HI)) < 21.2) spanning a wide range in metallicity at z ∼ 4 − 5, using MUSE integral field and X-Shooter spectroscopic data collected in a z ≈ 5.26...

Journal Article
Boselli, A., Fossati, M., Longobardi, A., Boissier, S., Boquien, M., Braine, J., …Trinchieri, G. (2020). A Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission (VESTIGE): VI. Environmental quenching on HII-region scales. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 634, Article L1. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201937310

The Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission (VESTIGE) is a blind narrow-band Hα + [NII] imaging survey of the Virgo cluster carried out with MegaCam at the Canada-French-Hawaii telescope. We use a new set of data extracted from VESTIG... Read More about A Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission (VESTIGE): VI. Environmental quenching on HII-region scales.

Direct Detection of Black Hole-driven Turbulence in the Centers of Galaxy Clusters (2020)
Journal Article
Li, Y., Gendron-Marsolais, M., Zhuravleva, I., Xu, S., Simionescu, A., Tremblay, G. R., …Vishniac, E. T. (2020). Direct Detection of Black Hole-driven Turbulence in the Centers of Galaxy Clusters. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 889(1), Article L1. https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/ab65c7

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are thought to provide energy that prevents catastrophic cooling in the centers of massive galaxies and galaxy clusters. However, it remains unclear how this "feedback" process operates. We use high-resolution optical... Read More about Direct Detection of Black Hole-driven Turbulence in the Centers of Galaxy Clusters.
