LIGHTS. Limitations of Far-Infrared Tracers for Galactic Cirrus Mitigation in the Era of Ultra-Deep Imaging
Ouldouz Kaboud, Ignacio Trujillo, Ignacio Ruiz Cejudo +18
Current and forthcoming deep optical imaging surveys are reaching surface brightness levels fainter than 30 mag/arcsec, where Galactic cirrus emission becomes a significant con…
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…
J-PLUS: Turning Off the Bright Stars
Sepideh Eskandarlou, Mohammad Akhlaghi, Johan H. Knapen +23
Photometric surveys require precise point spread function (PSF) characterization, as it varies across filters and is crucial for accurate photometry and low surface brightness (LSB…
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…
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…
Stellar tidal streams around nearby spiral galaxies with deep imaging from amateur telescopes
David Martinez-Delgado, Michael Stein, Joanna D. Sakowska +26
Tidal interactions between massive galaxies and their satellites are fundamental processes in a Universe with L-Cold Dark Matter cosmology, redistributing material into faint featu…
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…
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 th…
Gnuastro: Generating polar plots in Astronomical images
Sepideh Eskandarlou, Mohammad Akhlaghi
When a structure displays dependence on distance and azimuthal angle from a center (for example the spiral arms of galaxies or the diffraction spikes of stars), projecting the pixe…
LIGHTS. Survey Overview and a Search for Low Surface Brightness Satellite Galaxies
Dennis Zaritsky, Giulia Golini, Richard Donnerstein +12
We present an overview of the LIGHTS (LBT Imaging of Galactic Halos and Tidal Structures) survey, which currently includes 25 nearby galaxies that are on average 1 mag faint…
Gnuastro: measuring radial profiles from images
Raúl Infante-Sainz, Mohammad Akhlaghi, Sepideh Eskandarlou
Radial profiles play a crucial role in the analysis and interpretation of astronomical data, facilitating the extraction of spatial information. However, highly customizable (for d…
Gnuastro: Estimating the Zero Point Magnitude in Astronomical Imaging
Sepideh Eskandarlou, Mohammad Akhlaghi, Raúl Infante-Sainz +6
Calibration of pixel values is a fundamental step for accurate measurements in astronomical imaging. In astronomical jargon this is known as estimating zero point magnitude. Here,…
Costs and benefits of automation for astronomical facilities
A. Yanes-Díaz, S. Rueda-Teruel, R. Bello +57
The Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre (OAJ†1) in Spain is a young astronomical facility, conceived and developed from the beginning as a fully automated observatory with the m…
