Low-density star cluster formation: discovery of a young faint fuzzy on the outskirts of the low-mass spiral galaxy NGC 247

Aaron J. Romanowsky, Søren S. Larsen, Alexa Villaume +21

The classical globular clusters found in all galaxy types have half-light radii of 2-4 pc, which have been tied to formation in the dense cores of giant molecular…

A Recent Major Merger Tale for the Closest Giant Elliptical Galaxy Centaurus A

Jianling Wang, Francois Hammer, Marina Rejkuba +2

We have used hydrodynamical simulations to model the formation of the closest giant elliptical galaxy, Centaurus A. We find that a single major merger event with a mass ratio up to…

Evidence for Ultra-Diffuse Galaxy `Formation' Through Galaxy Interactions

Paul Bennet, David J. Sand, Dennis Zaritsky +3

We report the discovery of two ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) which show clear evidence for association with tidal material and interaction with a larger galaxy halo, found during a…

The faint end of the Centaurus A satellite luminosity function

D. Crnojević, D. J. Sand, P. N. Bennet +9

The Panoramic Imaging Survey of Centaurus and Sculptor (PISCeS) is constructing a wide-field map of the resolved stellar populations in the extended halos of these two nearby, prom…

Discovery of diffuse dwarf galaxy candidates around M101

P. Bennet, D. J. Sand, D. Crnojević +3

We have conducted a search of a 9 deg region of the CFHTLS around the Milky Way analog M101 (D7 Mpc), in order to look for previously unknown low surface brightness gal…

Deep imaging of Eridanus II and its lone star cluster

D. Crnojević, D. J. Sand, D. Zaritsky +3

We present deep imaging of the most distant dwarf discovered by the Dark Energy Survey, Eridanus II (Eri II). Our Magellan/Megacam stellar photometry reaches mag deeper t…
