On the nature of a shell of young stars in the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud

David Martinez-Delgado, A. Katherina Vivas, Eva K. Grebel +35

Understanding the evolutionary history of the Magellanic Clouds requires an in-depth exploration and characterization of the stellar content in their outer regions, which ultimatel…

An overmassive Dark Halo around an Ultra-diffuse Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster

Michael A. Beasley, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Vincenzo Pota +4

Ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have the sizes of giant galaxies but the luminosities of dwarfs. A key to understanding their origins comes from their total masses, but their low sur…

Low Surface Brightness Imaging of the Magellanic System: Imprints of Tidal Interactions between the Clouds in the Stellar Periphery

Gurtina Besla, David Martinez-Delgado, Roeland P. van der Marel +5

We present deep optical images of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) using a low cost telephoto lens with a wide field of view to explore stellar substructure in t…
