WST instrument Exposure Time Calculator: full simulation of multi-mode spectrograph performance from source to detector
Matteo Ferro, Matteo Genoni, Henri M. J. Boffin +13
We present a comprehensive Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) developed for the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) concept. The WST, currently in its conceptual phase, is designe…
Guiding Design Choices for Wide-Field IFS: Trade-Offs Between Replication and Complexity for WST
C. Cudennec, A. Jeanneau, R. Bacon +7
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a proposed 12-meter segmented facility optimized for seeing- and Ground Layer Adaptive Optics-limited observations in the visible an…
Stars Born in the Wind II: Widespread Extra-planar Star Formation in M82's Halo
Vaishnav V. Rao, Eric F. Bell, Adam Smercina +6
Galaxies evolve in tandem with their environments -- mergers and gas inflows drive galaxy growth while galactic outflows launched by supernovae may seed the galactic environment wi…
The low-mass and structured stellar halo of M83 argues against a merger origin for its starburst and extended neutral hydrogen disk
Eric F. Bell, Benjamin Harmsen, Matthew Cosby +12
A merger origin has been suggested for M83's massive, metal-rich extended HI disk and nuclear starburst. We observe M83's stellar halo to test this idea. We train nearest-neighbor…
Stars Born in the Wind: M82's Outflow and Halo Star Formation
Vaishnav V. Rao, Adam Smercina, Eric F. Bell +8
Starburst galaxies, like M82, launch kiloparsec-scale galactic outflows that interact with the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in complex ways. Apart from enriching the CGM with metals…
The Star Formation History and Evolution of the Ultra-Diffuse M81 Satellite F8D1
Adam Smercina, Eric F. Bell, Benjamin F. Williams +15
We present deep HST imaging of one of the nearest ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) outside of the Local Group: F8D1, a satellite of M81 known to be tidally disrupting. UDGs are an eni…
