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…

The Roman eXtreme Deep Field (RXDF)

Haojing Yan, Anton M. Koekemoer, Yue Shen +127

The Roman eXtreme Deep Field (RXDF) program is one of the five General Astrophysics Survey (GAS) programs approved for observing time with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope in…

Serendipitous discovery of an almost-dark galaxy in the Virgo Cluster

Minh Ngoc Le, Ignacio Trujillo, Sergio Guerra Arencibia +9

Analogues of extreme Local Group galaxies with very low surface brightnesses and large effective radii must exist elsewhere, still hidden due to current detection limits. We report…

Bridging integrated-light and resolved-star studies of Local Group dwarf spheroidals. A novel use of deep imaging based on amateur telescopes

Sergio Guerra Arencibia, Ignacio Trujillo, Mireia Montes +4

Low-mass galaxies beyond the Local Group can only be studied through their integrated light, yet it remains unclear whether structural parameters inferred from integrated light are…

Ultra-Deep imaging of the starless galaxy candidate Cloud-9

Ignacio Trujillo, Ignacio Ruiz Cejudo, Sergio Guerra Arencibia +1

We report the non-detection of stellar light associated with the dark galaxy candidate Cloud-9. Ultra-deep imaging obtained with HiPERCAM at the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) reac…

How large can galaxies be? Ultra-deep imaging of IC 1101, the most extended known galaxy

Carlos Marrero-de la Rosa, Ignacio Trujillo, Ignacio Ruiz Cejudo +12

The maximum physical extent that galaxies can reach is poorly understood. In this regard, IC 1101, one of the most extended and massive galaxies known, provides a valuable opportun…

Witnessing the rapid growth of disk galaxies over cosmic time using JWST and HST

Samane Raji, Mireia Montes, Ignacio Trujillo +3

Measuring galaxy sizes is fundamental to understanding how galaxies grow and evolve. Traditional methods to measure sizes either trace the concentration of light (i.e., effective r…

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…

Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: A Low Surface Brightness Science Case

Mireia Montes, Ignacio Trujillo, David Martínez Delgado +27

The Extragalactic Low Surface Brightness (LSB, mag/arcsec) Universe represents a crucial, yet largely unseen, frontier in modern astrophysics. This faint realm…

The mysterious Globular Cluster population of MATLAS-2019

Sergio Guerra Arencibia, Mireia Montes, Giulia Golini +1

MATLAS-2019 (also known as NGC5846-UDG1) has attracted significant attention due to the ongoing debate surrounding its Globular Cluster (GC) population, with several studies addres…

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…

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…

A new way to measure the distance to NGC1052-DF2

Michael A. Beasley, Katja Fahrion, Sergio Guerra Arencibia +2

We employ a new way to measure the distance to NGC1052-DF2 via internal stellar velocity dispersions () of its globular clusters (GCs). We obtained deep (15.1h), R=18,200, Ca Tr…
