On the assembly history of massive galaxies. A pilot project with VEGAS deep imaging and M3G integral field spectroscopy

In this paper we present the new deep images from the VEGAS survey of three massive (M_{*} \simeq 10^{12}~M_\odot) galaxies from the MUSE Most Massive Galaxies (M3G) project, with distances in the range 151\leq D \leq 183 Mpc: PGC007748, PGC015524 and PGC049940. The long integration time and the wide field... Show more
