Constraints on the population level distribution of nearby Dark Matter halo shapes with extragalactic streams

David Chemaly, Elisabeth Sola, Sergey Koposov +3

Stellar streams trace the gravitational potential of their host galaxies and provide a sensitive probe of dark matter halo structure. Previously, we developed, and tested on simula…

STRRINGS: STReams in Residual Images of Nearby GalaxieS

E. Sola, D. Chemaly, V. Belokurov +11

Tidal features from galaxy mergers, particularly stellar streams, offer valuable insights into galaxy assembly and dark matter halo properties. This paper aims to identify a large…

Galaxies OBserved as Low-luminosity Identified Nebulae (GOBLIN): a catalog of 43,000 high-probability dwarf galaxy candidates in the UNIONS survey

Nick Heesters, David Chemaly, Oliver Müller +9

The detection of low surface brightness galaxies beyond the Local Group poses significant observational challenges, yet these faint systems are fundamental to our understanding of…

Low Surface Brightness structures from annotated deep CFHT images: effects of the host galaxy's properties and environment

Elisabeth Sola, Pierre-Alain Duc, Mathias Urbano +20

Hierarchical galactic evolution models predict that mergers drive galaxy growth, producing low surface brightness (LSB) tidal features that trace galaxies' late assembly. These fai…

The Spatial Distribution of Globular Cluster Systems in Early Type Galaxies: Estimation Procedure and Catalog of Properties for Globular Cluster Systems Observed with Deep Imaging Surveys

Sungsoon Lim, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Côté +18

We present an analysis of the spatial distribution of globular cluster (GC) systems of 118 nearby early-type galaxies in the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) and Mass As…

Dwarf Galaxies in the MATLAS Survey: The satellite system of NGC474 under scrutiny with MUSE

Oliver Müller, Francine R. Marleau, Nick Heesters +12

A recent study of the distribution of dwarf galaxies in the MATLAS sample in galaxy groups revealed an excess of flattened satellite structures, reminiscent of the co-rotating plan…

Why do different early-type-galaxies have different amounts of rotational support?

Michal Bilek, Pierre-Alain Duc, Elisabeth Sola

Early-type galaxies (ETGs, i.e. elliptical and lenticular galaxies) differ in their amount of rotational support -- some are purely supported by velocity dispersion, while others s…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XXVII.The Size and Structure of Globular Cluster Systems and their Connection to Dark Matter Halos

Sungsoon Lim, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Côté +18

We study the size and structure of globular clusters (GC) systems of 118 early-type galaxies from the NGVS, MATLAS, and ACSVCS surveys. Fitting Sérsic profiles, we investigate the…

Origin of the differences in rotational support among early-type galaxies: The case of galaxies outside clusters

Michal Bílek, Pierre-Alain Duc, Elisabeth Sola

Context: Early-type galaxies (ETGs) are divided into slow and fast rotators (FRs and SRs) according to the degree of ordered rotation of their stellar populations. Cosmological hyd…

Characterization of Low Surface Brightness structures in annotated deep images

Elisabeth Sola, Pierre-Alain Duc, Felix Richards +7

The characterization of Low Surface Brightness (LSB) stellar structures around galaxies such as tidal debris of on-going or past collisions is essential to constrain models of gala…
