The Infrared Glow of Galactic Outskirts: A New Window with NASIM
Elham Saremi, Ignacio Trujillo, Mohammad Akhlaghi +5
The outskirts of galaxies retain fossil records of their assembly history and are dominated by old stellar populations shaped by tidal interactions, accretion events, and environme…
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…
The explosive growth of the Messier 74 galaxy. A galaxy doubling its size in less than a Gigayear
Ignacio Ruiz Cejudo, Ignacio Trujillo, Sergio Guerra Arencibia +3
Galaxy formation models predict that galaxies grow inside-out, becoming larger over time. While observations broadly support this paradigm, the nature and timescales of this growth…
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…
Deep imaging of the very isolated dwarf galaxy NGC6789
Ignacio Trujillo, Sergio Guerra Arencibia, Ignacio Ruiz Cejudo +3
We present deep optical imaging of the extremely isolated dwarf galaxy NGC 6789, obtained with the new 2-meter Two-meter Twin Telescope (TTT3) at Teide Observatory. Despite its loc…
Revisiting the structure of galactic disks with deep imaging
Samane Raji, Ignacio Trujillo, Fernando Buitrago +2
Thanks to new advances in astronomical imaging, we can now routinely explore disk galaxy profiles about two magnitudes deeper than the data available 20 years ago. In this regard,…
Deep imaging of the galaxy Malin 2 shows new faint structures and a candidate satellite dwarf galaxy
Junais, Ignacio Ruiz Cejudo, Sergio Guerra Arencibia +5
Giant Low Surface Brightness (GLSB) galaxies are extreme disk systems with exceptionally large sizes and low stellar densities. Their formation and evolution remain poorly constrai…
NASIM: Revealing the low surface brightness Universe from legacy VISTA data
Elham Saremi, Ignacio Trujillo, Mohammad Akhlaghi +5
Near-infrared imaging is a powerful technique in observational astronomy, but the bright background, primarily from the Earthś atmosphere, makes the detection of faint features par…
Strong size evolution of disc galaxies since z = 1: Readdressing galaxy growth using a physically motivated size indicator
Fernando Buitrago, Ignacio Trujillo
Our understanding of how the size of galaxies has evolved over cosmic time is based on the use of the half-light (effective) radius as a size indicator. Although the half-light rad…
The evolutionary sequence of sub-mm galaxies: from diffuse discs to massive compact ellipticals?
E. Ricciardelli, I. Trujillo, F. Buitrago +1
The population of compact massive galaxies observed at z > 1 are hypothesised, both observationally and in simulations, to be merger remnants of gas-rich disc galaxies. To probe su…
