Euclid: Data Release 1 (DR1) -- Fornax-7, an ultra-faint companion to the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy? A remote star cluster or dwarf satellite of the Fornax dSph

T. Saifollahi, A. Lançon, A. M. N. Ferguson +165

We report the discovery of an ultra-faint stellar system in the vicinity of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy in Euclid DR1. This system, which we designate Fornax-7, is lo…

Potamides: Mapping Dark Matter Halo Shapes from Stellar Stream Tracks in the Local Universe

Sirui Wu, Nathaniel Starkman, Sarah Pearson +3

Stellar streams trace the gravitational potential of their host galaxies and offer a direct probe of dark matter halo geometry. Cosmological simulations predict that halo shapes de…

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…

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)…
