Evidence of an age gradient along the line of sight in the nuclear stellar disc of the Milky Way (2023)
Journal Article
Nogueras-Lara, F., Schultheis, M., Najarro, F., Sormani, M., Gadotti, D., & Rich, R. (2023). Evidence of an age gradient along the line of sight in the nuclear stellar disc of the Milky Way. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 671, Article L10. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202345941

Context. The nuclear stellar disc (NSD) is a flat dense stellar structure at the heart of the Milky Way. Recent work has shown that analogous structures are common in the nuclei of external spiral galaxies, where there is evidence of an age gradient...

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 515(3), 4622-4638. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac2005

Using MUSE spectra, we investigate how pre-processing and accretion on to a galaxy cluster affect the integrated stellar population properties of dwarf early-type galaxies (dEs). We analyse a sample of nine dEs with stellar masses of ∼109M⊙⁠, which w... Read More about On the accretion of a new group of galaxies on to Virgo – II.

Revisiting the role of bars in AGN fuelling with propensity score sample matching (2022)
Journal Article
Silva-Lima, L. A., Martins, L. P., Coelho, P. R., & Gadotti, D. A. (2022). Revisiting the role of bars in AGN fuelling with propensity score sample matching. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 661, Article A105. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202142432

The high luminosity displayed by an active galactic nucleus (AGN) requires that gas be transported to the centre of the galaxy by some mechanism. Bar-driven processes are often pointed out in this context and a number of studies have addressed the ba...

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 513(3), 3738-3787. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac1143

Feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) has become established as a fundamental process in the evolution of the most massive galaxies. Its impact on Milky Way (MW)-mass systems, however, remains comparatively unexplored. In this work, we use the...
