New Measurements of Distances to Galaxies in the NGC 1052 Field with the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes: Testing the Bullet-Dwarf Origin of the Trail
Yimeng Tang, Gagandeep S. Anand, Aaron J. Romanowsky +2
NGC 1052-DF2 and DF4 are two ultra-diffuse galaxies deficient in dark matter (DM), and reported as part of a remarkable linear trail of dwarf galaxies in the NGC 1052 field. Recent…
MSA-3D: Connecting the Chemical and Kinematic Structures of Galaxies at
Mengting Ju, Xin Wang, Tucker Jones +12
We investigate the connection between ionized gas kinematics and gas-phase metallicity gradients in 21 star-forming galaxies at from the MSA-3D survey, using spatia…
Galactic Rain: Cool Gas Inflows in Red Geyser Galaxies and Their Connection to AGN Activity and Interactions
Arian Moghni, Namrata Roy, Timothy M. Heckman +3
Red geysers are a population of massive (log[M/M]~10.5), quiescent galaxies that exhibit large-scale but weak, bi-symmetric ionized gas outflows, interpreted as signatures…
MSA-3D: Uncovering Weak AGNs and Resolved Outflows in Disguise in Star-Forming Galaxies
Namrata Roy, Alaina Henry, Tucker Jones +11
We present spatially resolved rest-optical spectroscopy of 38 star-forming galaxies at 0.5 < z < 1.7 from the JWST/NIRSpec MSA-3D survey, which uses slit-stepping to build IFU-like…
Morphology and stellar populations of a candidate ultra-diffuse galaxy in early Euclid and Rubin imaging
Aaron J. Romanowsky, Yimeng Tang, Kevin A. Bundy
We present multi-wavelength imaging and analysis of a low surface brightness (LSB) dwarf galaxy in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS), SMDG0333094-280938, with particula…
An Unexplained Origin for the Unusual Globular Cluster System in the Ultra-diffuse Galaxy FCC 224
Yimeng Tang, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jonah S. Gannon +9
We study the quiescent ultra-diffuse galaxy FCC 224 in the Fornax cluster using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging, motivated by peculiar properties of its globular cluster (GC)…
