Evolutionary link between ultra-diffuse galaxies and dwarf early-type galaxies
Igor V. Chilingarian, Kirill A. Grishin, Anton V. Afanasiev +2
Spectroscopic studies of low-luminosity early-type galaxies are essential to understand their origin and evolution but remain challenging because of low surface brightness levels.…
UGC 1378 -- a Milky Way-sized galaxy embedded in a giant low-surface brightness disc
Anna Saburova, Igor Chilingarian, Anastasia Kasparova +3
The dominant physical processes responsible for the formation and longevity of giant gaseous and stellar discs in galaxies remain controversial. Although they are rare (less than 1…
Mapping the Stellar Halo with the H3 Spectroscopic Survey
Charlie Conroy, Ana Bonaca, Phillip Cargile +8
Modern theories of galaxy formation predict that the Galactic stellar halo was hierarchically assembled from the accretion and disruption of smaller systems. This hierarchical asse…
Binospec Software System
Jan Kansky, Igor Chilingarian, Daniel Fabricant +6
Binospec is a high-throughput, 370 to 1000 nm, imaging spectrograph that addresses two adjacent 8' by 15' fields of view. Binospec was commissioned in late 2017 at the f/5 focus of…
Binospec: A Wide-field Imaging Spectrograph for the MMT
Daniel Fabricant, Robert Fata, Harland Epps +14
Binospec is a high throughput, 370 to 1000 nm, imaging spectrograph that addresses two adjacent 8' by 15' fields of view. Binospec was commissioned in late 2017 at the f/5 focus of…
Internal dynamics and stellar content of nine ultra-diffuse galaxies in the Coma cluster prove their evolutionary link with dwarf early-type galaxies
Igor Chilingarian, Anton Afanasiev, Kirill Grishin +2
Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are spatially extended, low surface brightness stellar systems with regular elliptical-like morphology found in a wide range of environments. Studies…
