Joint Modelling of Dust Scattering and Thermal Emission: The Spider Complex

Jielai Zhang, Peter G Martin, Ryan Cloutier +4

Observations across the electromagnetic spectrum of radiative processes involving interstellar dust -- emission, extinction, and scattering -- are used to constrain the parameters…

A Nascent Tidal Dwarf Galaxy Forming within the Northern HI Streamer of M82

Imad Pasha, Deborah Lokhorst, Pieter G. van Dokkum +12

We identify a 600 pc-wide region of active star formation located within a tidal streamer of M82 via emission ( erg s cm), us…

The Dragonfly Nearby Galaxies Survey. II. Ultra diffuse galaxies near the elliptical galaxy NGC 5485

Allison Merritt, Pieter van Dokkum, Shany Danieli +4

We present the unexpected discovery of four ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in a group environment. We recently identified seven extremely low surface brightness galaxies in the vici…

A High Stellar Velocity Dispersion and ~100 Globular Clusters for the Ultra Diffuse Galaxy Dragonfly 44

Pieter van Dokkum, Roberto Abraham, Jean Brodie +6

Recently a population of large, very low surface brightness, spheroidal galaxies was identified in the Coma cluster. The apparent survival of these Ultra Diffuse Galaxies (UDGs) in…

The Dragonfly Nearby Galaxies Survey. I. Substantial variation in the diffuse stellar halos around spiral galaxies

Allison Merritt, Pieter van Dokkum, Roberto Abraham +1

Galaxies are thought to grow through accretion; as less massive galaxies are disrupted and merge over time, their debris results in diffuse, clumpy stellar halos enveloping the cen…

Forty-Seven Milky Way-Sized, Extremely Diffuse Galaxies in the Coma Cluster

Pieter van Dokkum, Roberto Abraham, Allison Merritt +3

We report the discovery of 47 low surface brightness objects in deep images of a 3 x 3 degree field centered on the Coma cluster, obtained with the Dragonfly Telephoto Array. The o…
