VST-SMASH: VST Survey of Mass Assembly and Structural Hierarchy I. Survey presentation and deep photometry of IC 5332: tracing the mass assembly in the challenging faintest-end regime
R. Ragusa, C. Tortora, L. Hunt +9
Understanding the formation and evolution of late type galaxies (LTG) requires deep imaging for tracing the faintest stellar components in their outskirts. Despite their crucial ro…
Star-Galaxy Classification in Deep LSST Data with Random Forest: A Pilot study on the Data Preview 1 Release
M. Gatto, V. Ripepi, M. Bellazzini +2
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will produce unprecedentedly deep and wide photometric catalogs, enabling transformative studies of faint stell…
Euclid: Early Release Observations -- The extended stellar component of the IC10 dwarf galaxy
F. Annibali, A. M. N. Ferguson, P. M. Sanchez-Alarcon +175
We present a detailed analysis of the old, extended stellar component of the Local Group dwarf galaxy IC 10 using deep resolved-star photometry in the VIS and NISP bands of the Euc…
Quantifying the Detectability of Milky Way Satellites with Image Simulations: a Case Study with KiDS
Shiyang Zhang, Hendrik Hildebrandt, Ziang Yan +6
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, which can be detected as resolved satellite systems of the Milky Way, are critical to understanding galaxy formation, evolution, and the nature of dark…
Deep in the Fields of the Andromeda Halo: Discovery of the Pegasus VII dwarf galaxy in UNIONS
Simon E. T. Smith, Alan W. McConnachie, Stephen Gwyn +8
We present the newly discovered dwarf galaxy Pegasus VII (Peg VII), a member of the M31 sub-group which has been uncovered in the photometric catalogs from the Ultraviolet Nea…
