Identifying Dwarfs of MC Analog GalaxiEs (ID-MAGE): The Search for Satellites Around Low-Mass Hosts
Laura Congreve Hunter, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, David J. Sand +11
We present results from ID-MAGE (Identifying Dwarfs of MC Analog GalaxiEs), a survey aimed at identifying and characterizing unresolved satellite galaxies around 36~nearby LMC- and…
Star formation histories and gas content limits of three ultra-faint dwarfs on the periphery of M31
Michael G. Jones, David J. Sand, Paul Bennet +9
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of Pegasus V and Pisces VII, along with a re-analysis of the archival imaging of Pegasus W, and Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) neutra…
SEAMLESS Survey: Four Faint Dwarf Galaxies Tracing Low-Mass Galaxy Evolution Across Environments
Catherine E. Fielder, Michael G. Jones, David J. Sand +11
We report on four Local Volume dwarf galaxies identified through our ongoing SEmi-Automated Machine LEarning Search for Semi-resolved galaxies (SEAMLESS): Hydrus A, LEDA 486718, Ce…
Optimizing Kilonova Searches: A Case Study of the Type IIb SN 2025ulz in the Localization Volume of the Low-Significance Gravitational Wave Event S250818k
Noah Franz, Bhagya Subrayan, Charles D. Kilpatrick +54
Kilonovae, the ultraviolet/optical/infrared counterparts to binary neutron star mergers, are an exceptionally rare class of transients. Optical follow-up campaigns are plagued by c…
Hubble Space Telescope Imaging of Three Isolated Faint Dwarf Galaxies Beyond the Local Group: Pavo, Corvus A, and Kamino
Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Michael G. Jones, David J. Sand +14
We present new Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of three recently discovered star-forming dwarf galaxies beyond the Local Group: Pavo, Corvus A, and Kamino. The discovery of Ka…
The Orbits of Isolated Dwarfs in the Local Group from New 3D Kinematics: Constraints on First Infall, Backsplash, and Quenching Mechanisms
Paul Bennet, Ekta Patel, Sangmo Tony Sohn +8
It is commonly supposed that quenched field dwarfs near the edge of the Local Group (LG) are backsplash galaxies, having previously orbited within the Milky Way (MW) or M31's viria…
