Ram pressure stripping in high-density environments

A Boselli, M Fossati, M Sun - The Astronomy and astrophysics review, 2022 - Springer
Galaxies living in rich environments are suffering different perturbations able to drastically
affect their evolution. Among these, ram pressure stripping, ie the pressure exerted by the hot …

Assessing the tendency of fluorescent proteins to oligomerize under physiologic conditions

LM Costantini, M Fossati, M Francolini, EL Snapp - Traffic, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Several fluorescent proteins ( FPs ) are prone to forming low‐affinity oligomers. This
undesirable tendency is exacerbated when FPs are confined to membranes or when fused to …

MUSE sneaks a peek at extreme ram-pressure stripping events–I. A kinematic study of the archetypal galaxy ESO137− 001

M Fumagalli, M Fossati, GKT Hau… - Monthly Notices of …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
We present Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) observations of ESO137−001, a spiral
galaxy infalling towards the centre of the massive Norma cluster at z ∼ 0.0162. During the …

The KMOS3D survey: demographics and properties of galactic outflows at z= 0.6–2.7

…, S Belli, T Shimizu, D Lutz, M Fossati… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a census of ionized gas outflows in 599 normal galaxies at redshift 0.6< z< 2.7,
mostly based on integral field spectroscopy of Hα,[N ii], and [S ii] line emission. The sample …

The Evolution of Metallicity and Metallicity Gradients from z= 2.7 to 0.6 with KMOS3D

E Wuyts, E Wisnioski, M Fossati… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We present measurements of the [Nii]/Hα ratio as a probe of gas-phase oxygen abundance
for a sample of 419 star-forming galaxies at z= 0.6–2.7 from the KMOS3D near-IR multi-…

MUSE sneaks a peek at extreme ram-pressure stripping events–II. The physical properties of the gas tail of ESO137− 001

M Fossati, M Fumagalli, A Boselli… - Monthly Notices of …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
We present a study of the physical properties of the disc and tail of ESO137−001, a galaxy
suffering from extreme ram-pressure stripping during its infall into the Norma cluster. With …

A consistent study of metallicity evolution at 0.8< z< 2.6

…, R Davies, F Eisenhauer, M Fossati… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the correlations between stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), and the [N ii]/Hα
flux ratio as an indicator of gas-phase metallicity for a sample of 222 galaxies at 0.8< z< 2.6 …

KMOS3D: Dynamical constraints on the mass budget in early star-forming disks

…, J Chan, R Davies, M Fossati… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We exploit deep integral-field spectroscopic observations with KMOS/Very Large Telescope
of 240 star-forming disks at $0.6\lt z\lt 2.6$ to dynamically constrain their mass budget. Our …

[PDF][PDF] SRGAP2 and its human-specific paralog co-regulate the development of excitatory and inhibitory synapses

M Fossati, R Pizzarelli, ER Schmidt, JV Kupferman… - Neuron, 2016 - cell.com
The proper function of neural circuits requires spatially and temporally balanced development
of excitatory and inhibitory synapses. However, the molecular mechanisms coordinating …

Falling outer rotation curves of star-forming galaxies at 0.6≲ Z≲ 2.6 probed with KMOS3D and SINS/ZC-SINF

…, A Burkert, J Chan, R Davies, M Fossati… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We exploit the deep, resolved, Hα kinematic data from the KMOS 3D and SINS/zC-SINF
surveys to examine the largely unexplored outer-disk kinematics of star-forming galaxies (SFGs)…
