A Third Galaxy Missing Dark Matter along a Trail of Galaxies in the NGC 1052 Field
Michael A. Keim, Pieter van Dokkum, Zili Shen +2
While most dwarf galaxies are strongly dark matter dominated, two remarkable objects in the NGC 1052 field, DF2 and DF4, appear to lack dark matter. DF2 and DF4 were recently found…
Quantitative Morphology of Galactic Cirrus in Deep Optical Imaging
Qing Liu, Peter Martin, Roberto Abraham +9
Imaging of optical Galactic cirrus, the spatially resolved form of diffuse Galactic light, provides important insights into the properties of the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM)…
Kinematic Confirmation of a Remarkable Linear Trail of Galaxies in the NGC 1052 Field, Consistent with Formation in a High-Speed Bullet Dwarf Collision
Michael A. Keim, Pieter van Dokkum, Zili Shen +6
A unique linear trail of diffuse galaxies was recently identified in the NGC 1052 field. This trail includes the remarkable, ultra-diffuse galaxies DF2 and DF4 which lack dark matt…
Investigating the Ultra-diffuse Galaxy NGC5846_UDG1 through the Kinematics of its Rich Globular Cluster System
Lydia Haacke, Duncan A. Forbes, Jonah S. Gannon +8
Recent studies of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have shown their globular cluster (GC) systems to be central in unveiling their remarkable properties and halo masses. Deep HST imag…
Fuzzy Galaxies or Cirrus? Decomposition of Galactic Cirrus in Deep Wide-Field Images
Qing Liu, Roberto Abraham, Peter G. Martin +12
Diffuse Galactic cirrus, or Diffuse Galactic Light (DGL), can be a prominent component in the background of deep wide-field imaging surveys. The DGL provides unique insights into t…
Testing the Bullet Dwarf Collision Scenario in the NGC 1052 Group Through Morphologies and Stellar Populations
Yimeng Tang, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Pieter G. van Dokkum +8
NGC 1052-DF2 and -DF4 are two ultra-diffuse galaxies that have been reported as deficient in dark matter and associated with the same galaxy group. Recent findings suggest that DF2…
First Results from the Dragonfly Ultrawide Survey: the Largest Eleven Quenched Diffuse Dwarf Galaxies in 3100 deg with Spectroscopic Confirmation
Zili Shen, William P. Bowman, Pieter van Dokkum +7
The Dragonfly Telephoto Array employs a unique design to detect very large and diffuse galaxies, which might be missed with conventional telescopes. The Dragonfly Ultrawide Survey…
Analysis of Galaxies at the Extremes: A Kinematic Analysis of the Virgo Cluster Dwarfs VCC 9 and VCC 1448 using the Keck Cosmic Web Imager
Jonah S. Gannon, Duncan A. Forbes, Aaron J. Romanowsky +8
We present spatially resolved Keck Cosmic Web Imager stellar spectroscopy of the Virgo cluster dwarf galaxies VCC 9 and VCC 1448. These galaxies have similar stellar masses and lar…
Confirmation of an anomalously low dark matter content for the galaxy NGC1052-DF4 from deep, high resolution continuum spectroscopy
Zili Shen, Pieter van Dokkum, Shany Danieli
NGC1052-DF4 was found to be the second "galaxy lacking dark matter" in the NGC1052 group, based on its velocity dispersion of km/s as measured from t…
A candidate runaway supermassive black hole identified by shocks and star formation in its wake
Pieter van Dokkum, Imad Pasha, Maria Luisa Buzzo +13
The interaction of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) with the circumgalactic medium (CGM) can lead to the formation of a wake of shocked gas and young stars behind it. Here…
Monochromatic globular clusters as a critical test of formation models for the dark matter deficient galaxies NGC1052-DF2 and NGC1052-DF4
Pieter van Dokkum, Zili Shen, Aaron J. Romanowsky +8
It was recently proposed that the dark matter-deficient ultra-diffuse galaxies DF2 and DF4 in the NGC1052 group could be the products of a "bullet dwarf" collision between two gas-…
A trail of dark matter-free galaxies from a bullet dwarf collision
Pieter van Dokkum, Zili Shen, Michael A. Keim +8
The ultra-diffuse galaxies DF2 and DF4 in the NGC1052 group share several unusual properties: they both have large sizes, rich populations of overluminous and large globular cluste…
A Nascent Tidal Dwarf Galaxy Forming within the Northern HI Streamer of M82
Imad Pasha, Deborah Lokhorst, Pieter G. van Dokkum +12
We identify a 600 pc-wide region of active star formation located within a tidal streamer of M82 via emission ( erg s cm), us…
NGC5846-UDG1: A galaxy formed mostly by star formation in massive, extremely dense clumps of gas
Shany Danieli, Pieter van Dokkum, Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez +10
It has been shown that ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have higher specific frequencies of globular clusters on average than other dwarf galaxies with similar luminosities. The UDG N…
Tidal Distortions in NGC1052-DF2 and NGC1052-DF4: Independent Evidence for a Lack of Dark Matter
Michael A. Keim, Pieter van Dokkum, Shany Danieli +11
Two ultra diffuse galaxies in the same group, NGC1052-DF2 and NGC1052-DF4, have been found to have little or no dark matter and to host unusually luminous globular cluster populati…
A Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distance of Mpc to the Dark Matter Deficient Galaxy NGC1052-DF2 from 40 Orbits of Hubble Space Telescope Imaging
