A Naked Dwarf: Molecular Gas in the Completely Stripped HI Tail of VCC 1249
Bumhyun Lee, Aeree Chung, Paolo Serra +12
We present the first observational hints of the severe removal of both molecular and HI gas from the dwarf galaxy VCC 1249. This extreme stripping event is thought to be driven by…

Dwarf galaxies in the MATLAS Survey: Hubble Space Telescope observations of nuclear star clusters
Mélina Poulain, Francine R. Marleau, Pierre-Alain Duc +8

Evidence of star cluster migration and merger in dwarf galaxies
Mélina Poulain, Rory Smith, Pierre-Alain Duc +8
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are the densest stellar systems in the Universe. They can be found at the center of all galaxy types, but tend to favor galaxies of intermediate stella…

A recent study of the distribution of dwarf galaxies in the MATLAS sample in galaxy groups revealed an excess of flattened satellite structures, reminiscent of the co-rotating plan…
Dwarf Galaxies in the MATLAS Survey: Hubble Space Telescope Observations of the Globular Cluster Systems of 74 Ultra Diffuse Galaxies
Francine R. Marleau, Pierre-Alain Duc, Melina Poulain +7
Ultra diffuse galaxies, characterized by their low surface brightness and large physical size, constitute a subclass of dwarf galaxies that challenge our current understanding of g…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). XXVII.The Size and Structure of Globular Cluster Systems and their Connection to Dark Matter Halos
Sungsoon Lim, Eric W. Peng, Patrick Côté +18
We study the size and structure of globular clusters (GC) systems of 118 early-type galaxies from the NGVS, MATLAS, and ACSVCS surveys. Fitting Sérsic profiles, we investigate the…

Maria Luisa Buzzo, Duncan A. Forbes, Thomas H. Jarrett +12
We use spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to place constraints on the stellar populations of 59 ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the low-to-moderate density fields of the M…
An evolutionary continuum from nucleated dwarf galaxies to star clusters
Kaixiang Wang, Eric W. Peng, Chengze Liu +21
Systematic studies have revealed hundreds of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in the nearby Universe. With half-light radii of approximately 10-100 parsecs and stellar mas…
The creation of a massive UCD by tidal threshing from NGC 936
