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…

A Method To Characterize the Wide-Angle Point Spread Function of Astronomical Images

Qing Liu, Roberto Abraham, Colleen Gilhuly +14

Uncertainty in the wide-angle Point Spread Function (PSF) at large angles (tens of arcseconds and beyond) is one of the dominant sources of error in a number of important quantitie…
