K-DRIFT Science Theme: Galactic Cirrus Clouds and Circumgalactic Medium
Kwang-il Seon, Jaehyun Lee, Jongwan Ko +8
In this paper, we review the extended halo material and the circumgalactic medium (CGM), including both dust and gas, and discuss promising science cases that could be realized usi…
K-DRIFT Science Theme: Illuminating the Next Era of Galaxy Cluster Science
Jaewon Yoo, Kyungwon Chun, Jongwan Ko +13
The KASI Deep Rolling Imaging Fast Telescope (K-DRIFT) is a pioneering instrument designed to explore low-surface-brightness (LSB) phenomena. This white paper presents a compelling…
On the Origin of Gas-stripping of Galaxies in Group Environments
Jinsu Rhee, Christophe Pichon, Yohan Dubois +12
We investigate how low-mass group environments () influence the gas content of their satellite galaxies with using…
K-DRIFT: Unveiling New Imagery of the Hidden Universe
Jongwan Ko, Woowon Byun, Kwang-Il Seon +31
Low-surface-brightness (LSB) structures play a crucial role in understanding galaxy evolution by providing significant insights into galaxy interactions, the histories of mass asse…
Modeling the Optical Colors of Galactic Cirrus Clouds in the Stripe 82 Region
Kwang-Il Seon, Jongwan Ko, Woowon Byun +2
Observations have shown that the optical colors of Galactic cirrus clouds differ significantly from those of extragalactic sources; thus, they can be used to distinguish Galactic c…
Jellyfish Galaxies in Magnetic Fields: Insights from Numerical Simulations
Jaehyun Lee, Taysun Kimm, Jérémy Blaizot +5
Jellyfish galaxies provide direct evidence of ram pressure stripping in cluster environments. We investigate the role of magnetic fields in the formation of jellyfish galaxies with…
