A comparative study of satellite galaxies in Milky Way-like galaxies from HSC, DECaLS and SDSS
Wenting Wang, Masahiro Takada, Xiangchong Li +10
We conduct a comprehensive and statistical study of the luminosity functions (LFs) for satellite galaxies, by counting photometric galaxies from HSC, DECaLS and SDSS around isolate…
Radial Distributions of Dwarf Satellite Systems in the Local Volume
Scott G. Carlsten, Jenny E. Greene, Annika H. G. Peter +2
The radial spatial distribution of low-mass satellites around a Milky Way (MW)-like host is an important benchmark for simulations of small-scale structure. The distribution is sen…
Luminosity Functions and Host-to-Host Scatter of Dwarf Satellite Systems in the Local Volume
Scott G. Carlsten, Jenny E. Greene, Annika H. G. Peter +2
Low-mass satellites around Milky Way (MW)-like galaxies are important probes of small scale structure and galaxy formation. However, confirmation of satellite candidates with dista…
Measuring distances to low-luminosity galaxies using surface brightness fluctuations
Johnny P. Greco, Pieter van Dokkum, Shany Danieli +2
We present an in-depth study of surface brightness fluctuations (SBFs) in low-luminosity stellar systems. Using the MIST models, we compute theoretical predictions for absolute SBF…
