The low-mass and structured stellar halo of M83 argues against a merger origin for its starburst and extended neutral hydrogen disk
Eric F. Bell, Benjamin Harmsen, Matthew Cosby +12
A merger origin has been suggested for M83's massive, metal-rich extended HI disk and nuclear starburst. We observe M83's stellar halo to test this idea. We train nearest-neighbor…
The Relationship at : Big Black Holes in Little Red Dots
Brenda L. Jones, Dale D. Kocevski, Fabio Pacucci +25
JWST has identified a large population of faint, broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the early universe that are powered by black holes (BHs) that often appear overmassive r…
Stars Born in the Wind: M82's Outflow and Halo Star Formation
Vaishnav V. Rao, Adam Smercina, Eric F. Bell +8
Starburst galaxies, like M82, launch kiloparsec-scale galactic outflows that interact with the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in complex ways. Apart from enriching the CGM with metals…
The Star Formation History and Evolution of the Ultra-Diffuse M81 Satellite F8D1
Adam Smercina, Eric F. Bell, Benjamin F. Williams +15
We present deep HST imaging of one of the nearest ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) outside of the Local Group: F8D1, a satellite of M81 known to be tidally disrupting. UDGs are an eni…
Andromeda XXXV: The Faintest Dwarf Satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy
Jose Marco Arias, Eric F. Bell, Katya Gozman +8
We present the discovery of Andromeda XXXV, the faintest Andromeda satellite galaxy discovered to date, identified as an overdensity of stars in the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Su…
