Are Gas-rich Ultra-diffuse Galaxies and Field Dwarfs Distinct?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We explore the differences in gas-rich field ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) and diffuse classical dwarf galaxies using an extensive atomic gas (H I ) follow-up survey of optically selected UDG candidates from the Systematically Measuring Ultra-diffuse ...

VST-SMASH: VST Survey of Mass Assembly and Structural Hierarchy

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Understanding the formation and evolution of late-type galaxies requires deep imaging for tracing the faintest stellar components in their outskirts (i.e. accreted material, diffuse halos, and tidal streams).

Ultradiffuse Galaxies in the EAGLE Simulation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We use the highest-resolution EAGLE simulation, Recal-L025N0752, to study the properties and formation of ultradiffuse galaxies (UDGs). We identify 181 UDGs at z = 0 and find their properties are consistent with observations.

An Accreting Supermassive Black Hole Buried in a Faint Dwarf Galaxy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
In the last decade, there have been several discoveries of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in dwarf galaxies including an AGN in an ultracompact dwarf galaxy with a black hole mass >10 ^6 M _⊙ .

Formation of a Nuclear Star Cluster through a Merger Event in the Low-surface-brightness Galaxy AGC 223218

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the properties of a nuclear star cluster (NSC) in the low-surface-brightness galaxy AGC 223218. The disk of the galaxy can be modeled using two Sérsic components with distinct central positions: one representing the inner bright disk and the ...
