A Sample of Nearby Isolated Dwarf Galaxies: A First Look at the Mass Function of Field Dwarfs
Scott Carlsten, Jiaxuan Li, Jenny Greene +2
We present the results of the Exploration of Local VolumE Survey - Field (ELVES-Field), a survey of the dwarf galaxies in the Local Volume (LV; Mpc) over roughly squ…
ELVES III: Environmental Quenching by Milky Way-Mass Hosts
Jenny E. Greene, Shany Danieli, Scott Carlsten +3
Isolated dwarf galaxies usually exhibit robust star formation but satellite dwarf galaxies are often devoid of young stars, even in Milky Way-mass groups. Dwarf galaxies thus offer…
NGC5846-UDG1: A galaxy formed mostly by star formation in massive, extremely dense clumps of gas
Shany Danieli, Pieter van Dokkum, Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez +10
It has been shown that ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have higher specific frequencies of globular clusters on average than other dwarf galaxies with similar luminosities. The UDG N…
Using Surface Brightness Fluctuations to Study Nearby Satellite Galaxy Systems: the Complete Satellite System of M101
Scott Carlsten, Rachael Beaton, Johnny Greco +1
We use surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) measurements to constrain the distance to low surface brightness (LSB) dwarfs in the vicinity of M101. Recent work has discovered many L…
A Possible "Too-Many-Satellites" Problem in the Isolated Dwarf Galaxy DDO 161
Jiaxuan Li, Jenny E. Greene, Shany Danieli +2
The abundance of satellite galaxies provides a direct test of CDM and galaxy formation physics on small scales. While satellites of Milky Way-mass galaxies are well studied, th…
Using Surface Brightness Fluctuations to Study Nearby Satellite Galaxy Systems: Calibration and Methodology
Scott Carlsten, Rachael Beaton, Johnny Greco +1
We explore the use of ground-based surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) measurements to constrain distances to nearby dwarf galaxies. Using archival CFHT Megacam imaging data for a…
ELVES-Field: Isolated Dwarf Galaxy Quenched Fractions Rise Below
Scott Carlsten, Jiaxuan Li, Jenny Greene +2
We use a new sample of low-mass ( ) isolated galaxies from the Exploration of Local VolumE Survey - Field (ELVES-Field) to examine the star formation propertie…
A Deep and Wide Twilight Survey for Asteroids Interior to Earth and Venus
Scott S. Sheppard, David Tholen, Petr Pokorny +17
We are conducting a survey using twilight time on the Dark Energy Camera with the Blanco 4m telescope in Chile to look for objects interior to Earth's and Venus' orbits. To date we…
ELVES IV: The Satellite Stellar-to-Halo Mass Relation Beyond the Milky-Way
Shany Danieli, Jenny E. Greene, Scott Carlsten +3
Quantifying the connection between galaxies and their host dark matter halos has been key for testing cosmological models on various scales. Below , suc…
