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…
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…
LIGHTS. The extended point spread functions of the LIGHTS survey at the LBT
Nafise Sedighi, Zahra Sharbaf, Ignacio Trujillo +13
With the arrival of the next generation of ultra-deep optical imaging surveys reaching 30 mag/arcsec (3; 10"10"), the removal of scattered light due to…
