The faintest lights: Exploring the properties of the largest barely visible galaxies
When we look up at the night sky, bright celestial objects naturally draw most of our attention. However, the cosmos also contains hidden objects that are important for understanding how galaxies evolve: low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) and Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). It is crucial to understand their properties, as well as the history of their formation and evolution. In a newly published paper, a team of scientists from the Astrophysics Division of the National Centre for Nuclear Research, led by the PhD student Antonio Vanzanella, has investigated new candidates for UDG galaxies in order to confirm their nature and precisely determine their properties.
