How large can galaxies be? Ultra-deep imaging of IC 1101, the most extended known galaxy

Carlos Marrero-de la Rosa, Ignacio Trujillo, Ignacio Ruiz Cejudo +12

The maximum physical extent that galaxies can reach is poorly understood. In this regard, IC 1101, one of the most extended and massive galaxies known, provides a valuable opportun…

LIGHTS. The Thin Encircling Stellar Stream of NGC 3938

Dennis Zaritsky, Jacob Nibauer, Giulia Golini +17

We present a stellar stream found in images of the nearby, nearly face-on, late-type galaxy, NGC 3938 obtained for the LBT Imaging of Galactic Halos and Tidal Structures (LIGHTS) s…

The mysterious Globular Cluster population of MATLAS-2019

Sergio Guerra Arencibia, Mireia Montes, Giulia Golini +1

MATLAS-2019 (also known as NGC5846-UDG1) has attracted significant attention due to the ongoing debate surrounding its Globular Cluster (GC) population, with several studies addres…

Revisiting the structure of galactic disks with deep imaging

Samane Raji, Ignacio Trujillo, Fernando Buitrago +2

Thanks to new advances in astronomical imaging, we can now routinely explore disk galaxy profiles about two magnitudes deeper than the data available 20 years ago. In this regard,…

LIGHTS. A robust technique to identify galaxy edges

Giulia Golini, Ignacio Trujillo, Dennis Zaritsky +19

The LIGHTS survey is imaging galaxies at a depth and spatial resolution comparable to what the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will produce in 10 years (i.e., 31 mag/a…

UV LIGHTS. New tools for revealing the low surface brightness regime in the ultraviolet

Ignacio Ruiz Cejudo, Ignacio Trujillo, Giulia Golini +16

Ultra-deep optical surveys have reached unprecedented depths, facilitating the study of faint galactic structures. However, the ultraviolet bands, crucial for stellar population st…
