Euclid: Calibrating distances from surface brightness fluctuations with Early Release Observations of the Fornax cluster
R. Habas, M. Cantiello, G. Riccio +169
Surface brightness fluctuations (SBF), the pixel-to-pixel variations in flux that arise from the statistical distribution of stars in galaxy images, provide a powerful tool to meas…
Dwarf galaxies in the MATLAS Survey: Hubble Space Telescope observations of nuclear star clusters
Mélina Poulain, Francine R. Marleau, Pierre-Alain Duc +8
In dwarf galaxies, nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are believed to primarily form from the migration and merger of globular clusters (GCs), with a possible contribution from in-situ s…
Euclid preparation LXXIX. Using mock low surface brightness dwarf galaxies to probe Euclid Wide Survey detection capabilities
Euclid Collaboration, M. Urbano, P. -A. Duc +313
Local Universe dwarf galaxies can serve as both cosmological and mass assembly probes. Deep surveys have enabled the study of these objects down to the low surface brightness (LSB)…
Euclid: Early Release Observations -- Interplay between dwarf galaxies and their globular clusters in the Perseus galaxy cluster
T. Saifollahi, A. Lançon, Michele Cantiello +183
We present an analysis of globular clusters (GCs) of dwarf galaxies in the Perseus galaxy cluster to explore the relationship between dwarf galaxy properties and their GCs. Our foc…
Euclid: Early Release Observations of diffuse stellar structures and globular clusters as probes of the mass assembly of galaxies in the Dorado group
M. Urbano, P. -A. Duc, T. Saifollahi +160
Deep surveys reveal tidal debris and associated compact stellar systems. Euclid's unique combination of capabilities (spatial resolution, depth, and wide sky coverage) will make it…
Low Surface Brightness structures from annotated deep CFHT images: effects of the host galaxy's properties and environment
Elisabeth Sola, Pierre-Alain Duc, Mathias Urbano +20
Hierarchical galactic evolution models predict that mergers drive galaxy growth, producing low surface brightness (LSB) tidal features that trace galaxies' late assembly. These fai…
