The Rogue One: A Dark Matter-Dominated Dwarf in the Trail of Dark Matter-Deficient Galaxies

Daniel Vaz, Arsen Levitskiy, Duncan Forbes +6

We present the first measurement of the stellar velocity dispersion of LEDA 4014647, a compact dwarf galaxy spatially aligned with the NGC 1052 trail, a linear chain of dark matter…

AGC 322753: a Dark Galaxy Candidate detected by ALFALFA and FASHI

Marco Monaci, Duncan A. Forbes, Warrick J. Couch +1

We report the possible detection of a Dark Galaxy Candidate (DGC; AGC 322753), via the cross-matching of the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) and the FAST All Sky HI (FASHI) HI b…

Distance Estimation using Globular Clusters and Ultra-Compact Dwarfs

Bas van Heumen, Jonah S. Gannon, Duncan A. Forbes +2

The tight scaling relation between absolute magnitude and internal velocity dispersion () for globular clusters (GCs), referred to as the GC velocity dispersion (GCVD) relation,…

The Stellar Populations of Two Quiescent Low Surface Brightness Dwarf Galaxies in Low Density Environments

Duncan A. Forbes, Hannah S. Christie, Arsen Levitskiy +3

Dwarf galaxies located in low density environments that have quiescent stellar populations are extremely rare and the mechanism for quenching their stars is highly uncertain. Here…

Diffuse Dwarf Galaxies in Galaxy Clusters: I. Stellar Populations and Radial Gradients

Arsen Levitskiy, Duncan A. Forbes, Jonah S. Gannon +5

We use Keck/KCWI spectroscopy to study one ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) and five Nearly-UDGs (NUDGEs) in the Perseus cluster, together with an additional UDG in the Coma cluster. As…

Formation of globular cluster-rich ultra-diffuse galaxies through mergers

Truman Tapia, Hidenori Matsui, Kenji Bekki +6

We use high-resolution, idealized hydrodynamic simulations of gas-rich dwarf-galaxy mergers to test whether such encounters can form ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) with globular clu…
