MATLAS-42, A Globular Cluster-Rich Ultra-Diffuse Galaxy That Diverges from the "Failed Galaxy'' Formation Pathway
Jonah S. Gannon, Duncan A. Forbes, Francine R. Marleau +4
To date, there has been significant interest in globular cluster (GC)-rich ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) and the evidence that they have formed via an unexpected, ``failed galaxy''…
Connection Between Dwarf Galaxies and Globular Clusters: Insights from the Perseus Cluster Using Subaru Imaging and Keck Spectroscopy

There is increasing observational evidence for a failed galaxy formation pathway for some ultradiffuse galaxies (UDGs) at low redshift however they currently lack simulated counter…
Do Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies Follow the Globular Cluster-Halo Mass Relation?
Duncan A. Forbes, Jonah S. Gannon
The stellar mass-halo mass relation and the globular cluster (GC) number-halo mass relation are two scaling relations that relate fundamental properties of normal galaxies. Ultra-D…
