Summer Studentship @ Max Planck Institute of Astronomy, 2017 ADS | PAPER | PRESENTATION | ESO PRESS RELEASE | SKY AT NIGHT NGC 7252 is an exquisite example of a nearby major merger remnant. We use the VIMOS spectrograph on the VLT to map the velocity structure of the stars and the ionised gas, tracing the aftermath of a cosmic collision. We find evidence for a dust-obscured ring of star-formation within the central region of the galaxy, and hints at feedback by the central supermassive black hole.
