A possible signature of the influence of tidal perturbations in dwarf galaxy scaling relations

A. E. Watkins, H. Salo, S. Kaviraj +4

Dwarf galaxies are excellent cosmological probes, because their shallow potential wells make them very sensitive to the key processes that drive galaxy evolution, including baryoni…

Photometric properties of nuclear star clusters and their host galaxies in the Fornax cluster

Alan H. Su, Heikki Salo, Joachim Janz +2

We investigate the relations between nuclear star clusters (NSCs) and their host galaxies, and between the structural properties of nucleated and non-nucleated galaxies. We also ad…

Stellar masses, sizes, and radial profiles for 465 nearby early-type galaxies: an extension to the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (SG)

A. E. Watkins, H. Salo, E. Laurikainen +16

The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (SG) is a detailed study of over 2300 nearby galaxies in the near-infrared (NIR), which has been critical to our understan…

The multifarious ionization sources and disturbed kinematics of extraplanar gas in five low-mass galaxies

R. P. V. Rautio, A. E. Watkins, S. Comerón +3

We investigate the origin of the extraplanar diffuse ionized gas (eDIG) and its predominant ionization mechanisms in five nearby (17-46 Mpc) low-mass ( $M_{\od…

The Fornax Deep Survey (FDS) with VST XII: Low surface brightness dwarf galaxies in the Fornax cluster

Aku Venhola, Reynier F. Peletier, Heikki Salo +9

In this work we use Max-Tree Objects, (MTO) on the FDS data in order to detect previously undetected Low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. After extending the existing Fornax dwar…

Stellar structures, molecular gas, and star formation across the PHANGS sample of nearby galaxies

M. Querejeta, E. Schinnerer, S. Meidt +32

We identify stellar structures in the PHANGS sample of 74 nearby galaxies and construct morphological masks of sub-galactic environments based on Spitzer 3.6 micron images. At the…
