Context. The existence of planes of satellite galaxies has been identified as a long-standing challenge to ΛCDM cosmology because satellite systems in cosmological simulations that are as extremely flattened and as strongly kinematically correlated as the ...
The spatial distribution of dwarf galaxies around their host galaxies is a critical test for the standard model of cosmology because it probes the dynamics of dark matter halos and is independent of the internal baryonic processes of galaxies. Comoving pla ...
Flattened and kinematically correlated planes of dwarf satellite galaxies have been observed in the Local Volume. The slinging out of satellites during host galaxy mergers has been suggested as a formation mechanism for these peculiar structures. We statis ...
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are massive star clusters found in all types of galaxies from dwarfs to massive galaxies. Recent studies show that while low-mass NSCs in dwarf galaxies (M-gal< 10(9)M(circle dot)) form predominantly out of the merger of globul ...
Hierarchical galactic evolution models predict that mergers drive galaxy growth, producing low surface brightness (LSB) tidal features that trace galaxies’ late assembly. These faint structures encode information about past mergers and are sensitive to the ...
Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are very-low-surface-brightness galaxies with large effective radii. Spectroscopic measurements of a few UDGs have revealed a low dark-matter content based on the internal motion of stars or globular clusters (GCs). This is in ...
We present an analysis of the spatial distribution of globular cluster (GC) systems of 118 nearby early-type galaxies in the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey and Mass Assembly of early-Type GaLAxies with their fine Structures survey programs, which bot ...
We present initial results of a survey of host L-* galaxies environments in the Local Volume (D < 10 Mpc) searching for satellite dwarf galaxy candidates using the wide-field Hyper Suprime-Cam imager on the 8 m Subaru Telescope. This paper presents complet ...
We study the size and structure of globular cluster (GC) systems of 118 early-type galaxies from the NGVS, MATLAS, and ACSVCS surveys. Fitting S & eacute;rsic profiles, we investigate the relationship between effective radii of GC systems (R-e,R-gc) and ga ...
The mass-metallicity relation (MZR) represents one of the most important scaling relations in the context of galaxy evolution, comprising a positive correlation between stellar mass and metallicity (Z). The fundamental metallicity relation (FMR) introduces ...
Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs), characterised by their low surface brightness and large physical size, constitute a subclass of dwarf galaxies that challenge our current understanding of galaxy formation and evolution. In this paper, we probe the properties ...
A recent study of the distribution of dwarf galaxies in the MATLAS sample in galaxy groups revealed an excess of flattened satellite structures, reminiscent of the co-rotating planes of dwarf galaxies discovered in the local Universe. If confirmed, this le ...
Previous results suggest that there is a correlation between the size of the bulge of a galaxy and the number of its dwarf galaxy satellites. This was found to be inconsistent with the standard model of cosmology based on comparisons to semi-analytical dar ...
The Arctic is sensitive to cloud radiative forcing. Due to the limited number of aerosols present throughout much of the year, cloud formation is susceptible to the presence of cloud condensation nuclei and ice nucleating particles (INPs). Primary biologic ...
We report the spectroscopic analysis of 10 satellite galaxy candidates in the sphere of influence of the Sombrero galaxy (M104, NGC4594), based on data obtained with IFUM (integral field units for Magellan). Based on their newly observed recessional veloci ...
The properties of satellite dwarf galaxies provide important empirical insights for verifying cosmological models on galaxy scales. Their phase-space correlations, in particular, offer interesting insights into a broad range of models, since they are domin ...
Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the Coma cluster have velocity dispersion profiles that are in full agreement with the predictions of modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) in isolation. However, the external field effect (EFE) from the cluster seriously unde ...
Dwarf galaxies in groups of galaxies provide excellent test cases for models of structure formation. This led to a so-called small-scale crisis, including the famous missing-satellites and too-big-to-fail problems. It was suggested that these two problems ...
Context. The system of galaxies around NGC 4490 was recently highlighted to display a flattened, kinematically correlated structure reminiscent of planes of satellite galaxies around other hosts. Aims. Since known satellite planes are in tension with expec ...
