The Dragonfly Wide Field Survey. II. Accurate Total Luminosities and Colors of Nearby Massive Galaxies and Implications for the Galaxy Stellar Mass Function

Tim B. Miller, Pieter van Dokkum, Shany Danieli +8

Stellar mass estimates of massive galaxies are susceptible to systematic errors in their photometry, due to their extended light profiles. In this study we use data from the Dragon…

Hyper Suprime-Cam Low Surface Brightness Galaxies II: A Hubble Space Telescope Study of the Globular Cluster Systems of Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies in Groups

Jean J. Somalwar, Jenny E. Greene, Johnny P. Greco +4

We increase the sample of ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in lower density environments with characterized globular cluster (GC) populations using new Hubble Space Telescope observat…

Radial Distributions of Dwarf Satellite Systems in the Local Volume

Scott G. Carlsten, Jenny E. Greene, Annika H. G. Peter +2

The radial spatial distribution of low-mass satellites around a Milky Way (MW)-like host is an important benchmark for simulations of small-scale structure. The distribution is sen…

Luminosity Functions and Host-to-Host Scatter of Dwarf Satellite Systems in the Local Volume

Scott G. Carlsten, Jenny E. Greene, Annika H. G. Peter +2

Low-mass satellites around Milky Way (MW)-like galaxies are important probes of small scale structure and galaxy formation. However, confirmation of satellite candidates with dista…

Measuring distances to low-luminosity galaxies using surface brightness fluctuations

Johnny P. Greco, Pieter van Dokkum, Shany Danieli +2

We present an in-depth study of surface brightness fluctuations (SBFs) in low-luminosity stellar systems. Using the MIST models, we compute theoretical predictions for absolute SBF…

The LBT Satellites of Nearby Galaxies Survey (LBT-SONG): The Satellite Population of NGC 628

A. Bianca Davis, Anna M. Nierenberg, Annika H. G. Peter +9

We present the first satellite system of the Large Binocular Telescope Satellites Of Nearby Galaxies Survey (LBT-SONG), a survey to characterize the close satellite populations of…
