J-PAS: unprecedented precision in stellar populations of diffuse tidal features
Sepideh Eskandarlou, Mohammad Akhlaghi, Francisco Arizo-Borillo +38
Galaxies frequently interact with nearby systems, a process that can significantly alter their morphology and star formation activity. However, spectroscopic studies of their faint…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Resolved Stellar Populations Studies in M31 and its Satellites
C. Gallart, E. Fernández-Alvar, A. B. A. Queiroz +48
A 30 m class optical/near-IR telescope in the Northern Hemisphere, equipped for diffraction-limited imaging and high-resolution, multi-object spectroscopy of faint stars, would ena…
Stellar streams around dwarf galaxies in the Local Universe
Joanna D. Sakowska, David Martínez-Delgado, Sarah Pearson +6
While mergers between massive galaxies and their dwarf satellites are well studied, the properties of dwarf - dwarf satellite mergers are not well constrained. Stellar streams trac…
A Pearl in the Shell: an ultra-compact dwarf within the tidal debris surrounding spiral galaxy NGC 7531
David Martínez-Delgado, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Yimeng Tang +7
Stellar substructures within tidal debris preserve information about their progenitor galaxies' properties, offering insights into hierarchical mass assembly. We examine a compact…
Euclid preparation LXXIX. Using mock low surface brightness dwarf galaxies to probe Euclid Wide Survey detection capabilities
Euclid Collaboration, M. Urbano, P. -A. Duc +313
Local Universe dwarf galaxies can serve as both cosmological and mass assembly probes. Deep surveys have enabled the study of these objects down to the low surface brightness (LSB)…
Euclid: Early Release Observations -- The star cluster systems of the Local Group dwarf galaxies IC 10 and NGC 6822
J. M. Howell, A. M. N. Ferguson, S. S. Larsen +149
Star clusters are valuable indicators of galaxy evolution, offering insights into the buildup of stellar populations across cosmic time. Understanding intrinsic star cluster popula…
