Extragalactic Stellar Tidal Streams: Observations meet Simulation
Juan Miro-Carretero, Maria A. Gomez-Flechoso, David Martinez-Delgado +11
According to the well established hierarchical framework for galaxy evolution, galaxies grow through mergers with other galaxies and the LambdaCDM cosmological model predicts that…
Extragalactic Stellar Tidal Streams in the Dark Energy Survey
Juan Miro-Carretero, David Martinez-Delgado, Maria A. Gomez-Flechoso +7
Stellar tidal streams are a key tracer of galaxy evolution and have the potential to provide an indirect means for tracing dark matter. For the Local Group, many diffuse substructu…
Gnuastro: Generating polar plots in Astronomical images
Sepideh Eskandarlou, Mohammad Akhlaghi
When a structure displays dependence on distance and azimuthal angle from a center (for example the spiral arms of galaxies or the diffraction spikes of stars), projecting the pixe…
LIGHTS. Survey Overview and a Search for Low Surface Brightness Satellite Galaxies
Dennis Zaritsky, Giulia Golini, Richard Donnerstein +12
We present an overview of the LIGHTS (LBT Imaging of Galactic Halos and Tidal Structures) survey, which currently includes 25 nearby galaxies that are on average 1 mag faint…
Gnuastro: measuring radial profiles from images
Raúl Infante-Sainz, Mohammad Akhlaghi, Sepideh Eskandarlou
Radial profiles play a crucial role in the analysis and interpretation of astronomical data, facilitating the extraction of spatial information. However, highly customizable (for d…
Gnuastro: visualizing the full dynamic range in color images
Raúl Infante-Sainz, Mohammad Akhlaghi
Color plays a crucial role in the visualization, interpretation, and analysis of multi-wavelength astronomical images. However, generating color images that accurately represent th…
