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…
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…
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…
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…
