Hidden in the Halo: New Diffuse Star Clusters in the M82 Starburst with JWST

Deepthi S. Prabhu, David J. Sand, Burcin Mutlu-Pakdil +12

Diffuse star clusters (DSCs) occupy a poorly explored region of the size-luminosity plane between classical globular clusters (GCs) and dwarf galaxies. Here we report the discovery…

Star formation powers optical line emission from the CGM

Huanian Zhang, Lizhi Xie, Zhijie Qu +9

Using integral field spectroscopy, we explore the disk-halo interface, or the inner circumgalactic medium (CGM), of individual galaxies by constructing and analyzing emission-line…

Young, blue, and isolated stellar systems in the Virgo Cluster. II. A new class of stellar system

Michael G. Jones, David J. Sand, Michele Bellazzini +21

We discuss five blue stellar systems in the direction of the Virgo cluster, analogous to the enigmatic object SECCO 1 (AGC 226067). These objects were identified based on their opt…

Systematically Measuring Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies (SMUDGes). III. The Southern SMUDGes Catalog

Dennis Zaritsky, Richard Donnerstein, Ananthan Karunakaran +5

We present a catalog of 5598 ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) candidates with effective radius arcsec distributed throughout the southern portion of the DESI Legacy Imaging S…

Live Fast, Die -Enhanced: The Mass-Metallicity- Relation of the Milky Way's Disrupted Dwarf Galaxies

Rohan P. Naidu, Charlie Conroy, Ana Bonaca +9

The Milky Way's satellite galaxies ("surviving dwarfs") have been studied for decades as unique probes of chemical evolution in the low-mass regime. Here we extend such studies to…

Revisiting the relation between the number of globular clusters and galaxy mass for low mass galaxies

Dennis Zaritsky

Using a new method to estimate total galaxy mass (M) and two samples of low luminosity galaxies containing measurements of the number of globular clusters (GCs) per galax…
