Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: A Low Surface Brightness Science Case
Mireia Montes, Ignacio Trujillo, David Martínez Delgado +27
The Extragalactic Low Surface Brightness (LSB, mag/arcsec) Universe represents a crucial, yet largely unseen, frontier in modern astrophysics. This faint realm…
Resolving Individual Stars in Nearby Large Galaxies with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Adam Smercina, Tara Fetherolf, Eric W. Koch +3
The varied and dynamic evolutionary histories of galaxies give rise to the stunning diversity in their properties that we observe in the present-day universe. HST, and now JWST, ha…
Optimizing Roman's High Latitude Wide Area Survey for Low Surface Brightness Astronomy
Mireia Montes, Francesca Annibali, Michele Bellazzini +20
One of the last remaining frontiers in optical/near-infrared observational astronomy is the low surface brightness regime (LSB, V-band surface brightness, 27 AB mag/arcsec$^…
The Vera Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time and the Low Surface Brightness Universe
Sarah Brough, Chris Collins, Ricardo Demarco +6
The 8.4m Vera Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will start a ten-year survey of the southern hemisphere sky in 2023. LSST will revolutionise low surface brig…
Diffuse Light in the Virgo Cluster
Chris Mihos, Paul Harding, John Feldmeier +1
We present deep optical imaging of the inner 1.5 x 1.5 degrees of the Virgo cluster to search for diffuse intracluster light (ICL). Our image reaches a 1 sigma depth of mu_v=28.5 m…
The Evolution of Tidal Debris
Chris Mihos
Galaxy interactions expel a significant amount of stars and gas into the surrounding environment. I review the formation and evolution of the tidal debris spawned during these coll…
