We report, for the first time, detection of a sample quenched and isolated dwarf galaxies (with 8.9 $<$ log(M$_{\rm \star}$/M$_{\rm \odot}$) 9.5) in least dense regions cosmic web, including voids, filaments, walls. These dwarfs have no neighbouring galaxy within 1.0~Mpc projected distance. Based on full spectral fitting their central spectra using Sloan Digital Sky Survey data, these are gas-deprived, exhibit stellar mass assembly very similar to clusters, experienced significant star...

These dwarfs have no neighboring galaxy within 1.0 Mpc projected distance. Based on full spectral fitting their central spectra using Sloan Digital Sky Survey data, these are gas-deprived, while also exhibiting stellar mass assembly very similar to clusters.

Field dwarf galaxies not actively forming stars are relatively rare in the local Universe, but present cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. We use TNG50 simulation to investigate their origin and find that they all result from environmental effects have removed or reduced gas content. Quenched field dwarfs consist of either backsplash objects ejected a massive host systems lost after crossing overdense regions such as filaments sheets (``cosmic web stripping''). fractions rise steeply...

The mass-size relation is a fundamental galaxy scaling that intrinsically linked to formation and evolution. physical processes involved in growth leave their particular imprint on the between stellar or total mass size. Aims. We aim explore effect of large-scale environment using samples selection added-value products from Calar Alto Void Integral-field Treasury surveY (CAVITY) collaboration.

The Universe is shaped as a web-like structure, formed by clusters, filaments, and walls that leave large volumes in between named voids. Galaxies voids have been found to be of later type, bluer, less massive, slower evolution than galaxies denser environments (filaments walls). However, the effect void environment on their stellar population properties still unclear. We aim address this question using 118 optical integral field unit datacubes from Calar Alto Void Integral-field Treasury...

Galaxy environment has been shown to play an important role in transforming late-type, star-forming galaxies quiescent spheroids. This transformation is expected be more severe for low-mass (M < $10^{10}$ \(M_\odot\)) dense galaxy groups and clusters, mostly due the influence of their past host halos (also known as pre-processing) present-day environments. For first time, this study, we investigate a sample nine early-type dwarf (dEs) that were accreted likely bound group onto Virgo cluster...

Using MUSE spectra, we investigate how pre-processing and accretion onto a galaxy cluster affect the integrated stellar population properties of dwarf early-type galaxies (dEs). We analyze sample nine dEs with masses $\rm \sim 10^9 \, M_\odot$, which were accreted ($\sim$ 2-3 Gyr ago) Virgo as members massive group. derive their properties, namely age, metallicity ([M/H]), abundance ratio $\alpha$ elements ([$\alpha$/Fe]), by fitting observed spectral indices robust, iterative procedure,...

ABSTRACT Using MUSE data, we investigate the radial gradients of stellar population properties (namely age, [M/H], and abundance ratio α elements [α/Fe]) for a sample nine dwarf early-type (dE) galaxies with log(M⋆/M⊙) ∼ 9.0 an infall time onto Virgo cluster 2–3 Gyr ago. We followed similar approach as in Bidaran et al. to derive their star formation histories (SFHs) through fitting observed spectral indices full fitting, respectively. find that these dE have truncated [Mg/Fe] versus [Fe/H]...

Cosmic voids, distinguished by their low-density environment, provide a unique opportunity to explore the interplay between cosmic environment and processes of galaxy formation evolution. Nevertheless, few data on molecular gas have been obtained so far.

We introduce a new colour index consisting of two spectral bandwidths to measure the titanium oxide (TiO) absorption band strength centred at 567 nm. Based on most up-to-date line list for TiO, we regenerate grid synthesized spectra and investigate temperature sensitivity index. The behaves similarly older TiO Wing, in that it decreases monotonically from coolest atmosphere with Teff = 2800 up 4000 where molecules disassociate. To further examine feasibility index, reproduce calibration...
