Ghostly galaxies: accretion-dominated stellar systems in low-mass dark matter halos

Chung-Wen Wang, Andrew P. Cooper, Sownak Bose +2

Wide-area deep imaging surveys have discovered large numbers of extremely low surface brightness dwarf galaxies, which challenge galaxy formation theory and, potentially, offer new…

DAHe white dwarfs from the DESI survey

Christopher J. Manser, Boris T. Gänsicke, Keith Inight +16

A new class of white dwarfs, dubbed DAHe, that present Zeeman-split Balmer lines in emission has recently emerged. However, the physical origin of these emission lines remains uncl…
