We present the goals, design, and first results of the MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF) survey, a large programme using the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument at the ESO Very Large Telescope. The MUDF survey is collecting ≈150 h on-sourc... Read More about The MUSE Ultra Deep Field (MUDF). II. Survey design and the gaseous properties of galaxy groups at 0.5 < z < 1.5.

On the role of supermassive black holes in quenching star formation in local central galaxies (2019)
Journal Article
Arora, N., Fossati, M., Fontanot, F., Hirschmann, M., & Wilman, D. J. (2019). On the role of supermassive black holes in quenching star formation in local central galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 489(2), 1606-1618. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz2266

We analyse the role of AGN feedback in quenching star formation for massive, central galaxies in the local Universe. In particular, we compare the prediction of two semi-analytic models (L-GALAXIES  and SAGE) featuring different schemes for AGN feedb...

We present the 0.6<z<2.6 evolution of the ionized gas velocity dispersion in 175 star-forming disk galaxies based on data from the full KMOS3D integral field spectroscopic survey. In a forward-modeling Bayesian framework including instrumental ef...

A merger shock in Abell 1367 (2019)
Journal Article
Ge, C., Sun, M., Liu, R.-Y., Rudnick, L., Sarazin, C., Forman, W., Jones, C., Chen, H., Liu, W., Yagi, M., Boselli, A., Fossati, M., & Gavazzi, G. (2019). A merger shock in Abell 1367. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 486(1), L36-L40. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slz049

Multiwavelength observations show that Abell 1367 (A1367) is a dynamically young cluster, with at least two subclusters merging along the SE–NW direction. With the wide-field XMM–Newton mosaic of A1367, we discover a previously unknown merger shock a... Read More about A merger shock in Abell 1367.
