From Atomic Gas to Star Formation
Erik Rosolowsky, Eric Koch, Sambit Roychowdhury +9
Since the 2015 SKA Chapters, the advent of panchromatic observations of nearby galaxies, capable of resolving the interstellar medium (ISM) into individual star-forming regions and…
The Bright Future of the Dark and Dim Universe
N. Deg, Alejandro Benitez-Llambay, Elizabeth A. K. Adams +5
This chapter investigates the low-mass frontier of galaxy formation through two complementary populations: the starless Reionization-Limited HI Clouds (RELHICs) that trace the ``da…
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…
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…
How to write competitive proposals and job applications
Johan H. Knapen, Henri M. J. Boffin, Nushkia Chamba +1
Writing proposals and job applications is arguably one of the most important tasks in the career of a scientist. The proposed ideas must be scientifically compelling, but how a pro…
Truncations in the X-ray Halos of Early-Type Galaxies as a Tracer of Feedback and Mergers
Nushkia Chamba, Pamela M. Marcum, Alejandro S. Borlaff +2
The morphology of X-ray halos in early-type galaxies depends on key structure assembly processes such as feedback and mergers. However, the signatures of these processes are diffic…
