Diffuse Dwarf Galaxies in Galaxy Clusters: I. Stellar Populations and Radial Gradients
Arsen Levitskiy, Duncan A. Forbes, Jonah S. Gannon +5
We use Keck/KCWI spectroscopy to study one ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) and five Nearly-UDGs (NUDGEs) in the Perseus cluster, together with an additional UDG in the Coma cluster. As…
The Extended Globular Cluster System of the archetypal "failed galaxy" Dragonfly-44 from deep white-light Hubble Space Telescope imaging
Maria Luisa Buzzo, Pieter van Dokkum, Roberto Abraham +2
Deep Hubble imaging reveals that the ultra-diffuse galaxy Dragonfly-44 hosts about 78 globular clusters, confirming its extremely high dark‑matter content and supporting its classi…
New Measurements of Distances to Galaxies in the NGC 1052 Field with the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes: Testing the Bullet-Dwarf Origin of the Trail
Yimeng Tang, Gagandeep S. Anand, Aaron J. Romanowsky +2
NGC 1052-DF2 and DF4 are two ultra-diffuse galaxies deficient in dark matter (DM), and reported as part of a remarkable linear trail of dwarf galaxies in the NGC 1052 field. Recent…
Dark matter-deficient twins: FCC 224 and FCC 240 as possible analogues of NGC 1052-DF2 and DF4
Maria Luisa Buzzo, Pieter van Dokkum, Michael Hilker +3
The recent "bullet-dwarf" model proposes that high-velocity collisions between dwarf galaxies can produce stellar systems with overluminous globular clusters (GCs) and a deficiency…
Kinematically cold and warm planetary nebulae samples, HII regions and supernovae remnants in the disc of the face-on spiral galaxy NGC 628 (M74) -- The Planetary Nebulae Spectrograph with the H arm
Magda Arnaboldi, Ortwin Gerhard, Surya Aniyan +14
We present the results for the galaxy NGC 628 observed with the Planetary Nebulae Spectrograph (PN.S) equipped with the H arm. With the third PN.S arm, the H arm, we measur…
MATLAS-42, A Globular Cluster-Rich Ultra-Diffuse Galaxy That Diverges from the "Failed Galaxy'' Formation Pathway
Jonah S. Gannon, Duncan A. Forbes, Francine R. Marleau +4
To date, there has been significant interest in globular cluster (GC)-rich ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) and the evidence that they have formed via an unexpected, ``failed galaxy''…
