Preparing for low surface brightness science with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory: A Comparison of Observable and Simulated Intracluster Light Fractions
Sarah Brough, Syeda Lammim Ahad, Yannick M. Bahe +13
Intracluster Light (ICL) provides an important record of the interactions galaxy clusters have undergone. However, we are limited in our understanding by our measurement methods. T…
The truncation of the disk of NGC 4565: Detected up to z=4 kpc, with star formation, and affected by the warp
Cristina Martinez-Lombilla, Raul Infante-Sainz, Felipe Jimenez-Ibarra +5
Context: The hierarchical model of galaxy formation suggests that galaxies are continuously growing. However, our position inside the Milky Way prevents us from studying the disk e…
Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): Comparing Visually and Spectroscopically Identified Galaxy Merger Samples
Alice Desmons, Sarah Brough, Cristina Martínez-Lombilla +3
We conduct a comparison of the merging galaxy populations detected by a sample of visual identification of tidal features around galaxies as well as spectroscopically-detected clos…
Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA): Extended Intra-Group Light in a group at from deep Hyper-Suprime Cam images
Cristina Martinez-Lombilla, Sarah Brough, Mireia Montes +7
We present a pilot study to assess the potential of Hyper Suprime-Cam Public Data Release 2 (HSC-PDR2) images for the analysis of extended faint structures within groups of galaxie…
Science Cases for the Keck Wide-Field Imager
J. Cooke, C. Angus, K. Auchettl +22
The Keck Wide-Field Imager (KWFI) is a proposed 1-degree diameter field of view UV-sensitive optical camera for Keck prime focus. KWFI will be the most powerful optical wide-field…
The Vera Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time and the Low Surface Brightness Universe
Sarah Brough, Chris Collins, Ricardo Demarco +6
The 8.4m Vera Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will start a ten-year survey of the southern hemisphere sky in 2023. LSST will revolutionise low surface brig…
Properties of extragalactic thick discs recovered from ultra-deep Stripe82 imaging
C. Martínez-Lombilla, J. H. Knapen
We study the structure of thick discs in extraordinary depth by reaching a surface brightness limit of 28.529~mag arcsec with combined ,,…
Discovery of disc truncations above the galaxies' mid-plane in Milky Way-like galaxies
Cristina Martinez-Lombilla, Ignacio Trujillo, Johan H. Knapen
Disc truncations are the closest feature to an edge that galaxies have, but the nature of this phenomena is not yet understood. In this paper, we explore the truncations in two nea…
Dissecting the long-term emission behaviour of the BL Lac object Mrk 421
M. I. Carnerero, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +4
We report on long-term multi-wavelength monitoring of blazar Mrk 421 by the GASP-WEBT collaboration and Steward Observatory, and by the Swift and Fermi satellites. We study the sou…
