The formation and evolution of low-surface-brightness galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 Our statistical understanding of galaxy evolution is fundamentally driven by objects that lie above the surface-brightness limits of current wide-area surveys (mu ~ 23 mag arcsec^-2). While both theory and small, deep surveys have hinted at a rich population of low-surface-brightness galaxies (LSBGs) fainter than these limits, their formation remains ...

Overmerging and M/L ratios in phenomenological galaxy formation models
, 1999 We show that the discrepancy between the Tully-Fisher relation and the luminosity function predicted by most phenomenological galaxy formation models is mainly due to overmerging of galaxy haloes.

Deep MOS Spectroscopy of NGC 1316 Globular Clusters
Galaxies, 2017 The giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 is the brightest galaxy in the Fornax cluster, and displays a number of morphological features that might be interpreted as an intermediate age merger remanent (∼3 Gyr).

Quantifying Bursty Star Formation in Dwarf Galaxies
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsDwarf galaxy star formation histories are theoretically expected to be bursty, potentially leaving distinct imprints on their chemical evolution. We propose that episodic starbursts with quiescent periods longer than ~100 Myr should lead to discontinuous
