K-DRIFT Science Theme: New Theoretical Framework Using the Galaxy Replacement Technique for LSB studies
Kyungwon Chun, Jihye Shin, Rory Smith +13
Low-surface-brightness (LSB) structures provide critical insights into the hierarchical formation of galaxies and galaxy clusters. The KASI Deep Rolling Imaging Fast Telescope (K-D…
K-DRIFT Science Theme: Galaxies in the Faint Universe
Woowon Byun, Yongmin Yoon, Jongwan Ko +17
Low-surface-brightness (LSB) structures serve as evidence of the intricate mass assembly of galaxies, and dedicatedly studying them promises to give us profound insights into the e…
K-DRIFT Science Theme: Galactic Cirrus Clouds and Circumgalactic Medium
Kwang-il Seon, Jaehyun Lee, Jongwan Ko +8
In this paper, we review the extended halo material and the circumgalactic medium (CGM), including both dust and gas, and discuss promising science cases that could be realized usi…
K-DRIFT Science Theme: Illuminating the Next Era of Galaxy Cluster Science
Jaewon Yoo, Kyungwon Chun, Jongwan Ko +13
The KASI Deep Rolling Imaging Fast Telescope (K-DRIFT) is a pioneering instrument designed to explore low-surface-brightness (LSB) phenomena. This white paper presents a compelling…
On the Origin of Intracluster Light based on the High-resolution Simulation, NewCluster
Seyoung Jeon, Emanuele Contini, San Han +11
Intracluster light (ICL) is a key component of galaxy clusters, with the potential to trace their dynamical assembly histories and the underlying dark matter distribution. Despite…
On the Origin of Gas-stripping of Galaxies in Group Environments
Jinsu Rhee, Christophe Pichon, Yohan Dubois +12
We investigate how low-mass group environments () influence the gas content of their satellite galaxies with using…
