Rubin J122659.4+090236: An Extremely Low Surface Brightness Galaxy Candidate Discovered in the Rubin LSST Early Data Preview 2

Dipanjan Mitra, Kanak Saha, Sugata Kaviraj +28

We report the serendipitous discovery of an exceptionally low surface brightness galaxy (LSBG) candidate, Rubin J122659.4+090236, in Rubin Observatory imaging of the interacting NG…

Tidal pre-conditioning and ram-pressure stripping in NGC 1427A. Deep VLT/MUSE spectroscopy and FUV-to-radio observations trace a Fornax Cluster dwarf in transformation

J. P. Carvajal, T. H. Puzia, M. Blaña +11

The early environmental transformation of low-mass cluster galaxies from gas-rich to gas-poor remains poorly constrained, partly because clear, phase-resolved observations are rare…

The Next Generation Fornax Survey (NGFS).VIII. A Support Vector Machine Approach for Disentangling Globular Clusters from other Sources

Yasna Ordenes-Briceño, Thomas H. Puzia, Paul Eigenthaler +8

Wide-field, multi-band surveys now detect millions of unresolved sources in nearby galaxy clusters, yet separating globular clusters (GCs) from foreground stars and background gala…

statmorph-lsst: Quantifying and correcting morphological biases in galaxy surveys

Elizaveta Sazonova, Cameron R. Morgan, Michael Balogh +16

Quantitative morphology provides a key probe of galaxy evolution across cosmic time and environments. However, these metrics can be biased by changes in imaging quality - resolutio…

Diving into dangerous tides: The impact of galaxy cluster tidal environments on satellite galaxy mass densities

Matias Blaña, Thomas H. Puzia, Yasna Ordenes-Briceño +8

Satellite galaxies endure powerful environmental tidal forces that drive mass stripping of their outer regions. Consequently, satellites located in central regions of galaxy cluste…
