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…
A Method To Characterize the Wide-Angle Point Spread Function of Astronomical Images
Qing Liu, Roberto Abraham, Colleen Gilhuly +14
Uncertainty in the wide-angle Point Spread Function (PSF) at large angles (tens of arcseconds and beyond) is one of the dominant sources of error in a number of important quantitie…
Tidal Distortions in NGC1052-DF2 and NGC1052-DF4: Independent Evidence for a Lack of Dark Matter
Michael A. Keim, Pieter van Dokkum, Shany Danieli +11
Two ultra diffuse galaxies in the same group, NGC1052-DF2 and NGC1052-DF4, have been found to have little or no dark matter and to host unusually luminous globular cluster populati…
The Dragonfly Wide Field Survey. II. Accurate Total Luminosities and Colors of Nearby Massive Galaxies and Implications for the Galaxy Stellar Mass Function
Tim B. Miller, Pieter van Dokkum, Shany Danieli +8
Stellar mass estimates of massive galaxies are susceptible to systematic errors in their photometry, due to their extended light profiles. In this study we use data from the Dragon…
A missing outskirts problem? Comparisons between stellar halos in the Dragonfly Nearby Galaxies Survey and the TNG100 simulation
Allison Merritt, Annalisa Pillepich, Pieter van Dokkum +4
Low surface brightness galactic stellar halos provide a challenging but promising path towards unraveling the past assembly histories of individual galaxies. Here, we present detai…
The Dragonfly Wide Field Survey. I. Telescope, Survey Design and Data Characterization
Shany Danieli, Deborah Lokhorst, Jielai Zhang +11
We present a description of the Dragonfly Wide Field Survey (DWFS), a deep photometric survey of a wide area of sky. The DWFS covers 330 in the equatorial GAMA fie…
Multi-resolution filtering: an empirical method for isolating faint, extended emission in Dragonfly data and other low resolution images
Pieter van Dokkum, Deborah Lokhorst, Shany Danieli +5
We describe an empirical, self-contained method to isolate faint, large-scale emission in imaging data of low spatial resolution. Multi-resolution filtering (MRF) uses independent…
The Dragonfly Edge-on Galaxies Survey: Shaping the outer disc of NGC 4565 via accretion
Colleen Gilhuly, David Hendel, Allison Merritt +6
We present extremely deep imaging of the well-known edge-on galaxy NGC 4565 (the "Needle Galaxy"), observed as part of the Dragonfly Edge-on Galaxies Survey. Our imaging traces sta…
Dragonfly imaging of the galaxy NGC5907: a revised view of the iconic stellar stream
Pieter van Dokkum, Colleen Gilhuly, Ana Bonaca +6
In 2008 it was reported that the stellar stream of the edge-on spiral NGC5907 loops twice around the galaxy, enveloping it in a giant corkscrew-like structure. Here we present imag…
CHANG-ES XX. High Resolution Radio Continuum Images of Edge-on Galaxies and their AGNs -- Data Release 3
Judith Irwin, Theresa Wiegert, Alison Merritt +17
The CHANG-ES galaxy sample consists of 35 nearby edge-on galaxies that have been observed using the VLA at 1.6 GHz and 6.0 GHz. Here we present the 3rd data release of our sample,…
Does the galaxy NGC1052-DF2 falsify Milgromian dynamics?
Pavel Kroupa, Hosein Haghi, Behnam Javanmardi +6
A great challenge in present-day physics is to understand whether the observed internal dynamics of galaxies is due to dark matter matter or due to a modification of the law of gra…
Spectroscopic Constraints on the Build-up of the Intracluster Light in the Coma Cluster
Meng Gu, Charlie Conroy, David Law +13
The stellar content of the intracluster light (ICL) provides unique insight into the hierarchical assembly process of galaxy clusters.However, the ICL is difficult to study due to…
