Author(s): Carleton, T; Errani, R; Cooper, M; Kaplinghat, M; Penarrubia, J; Guo, Y | Abstract: © 2019 The Author(s) Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society. We propose that the ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) population represents a set of satellite galaxies born in ∼1010-1011 M⊙ haloes, similar to field dwarfs, which suffer a dramatic reduction in surface brightness due to tidal stripping and heating. This scenario is observationally motivated by the radial…

Formation of ultra-diffuse galaxies in the field and in galaxy groups
We study ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in zoom in cosmological simulations, seeking the origin of UDGs in the field versus galaxy groups. We find that while field UDGs arise from dwarfs in a…
Ultra-diffuse galaxies in the Auriga simulations
We investigate the formation of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) using the Auriga high-resolution cosmological magnetohydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way–sized galaxies. We identify a sample of 92…

Recent observations revealed a mysterious ultra diffuse galaxy, NGC1052-DF2, in the group of a large elliptical galaxy, NGC1052. Compared to expectations from abundance matching models, the dark…
Quiescent ultra-diffuse galaxies in the field originating from backsplash orbits
Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are the lowest-surface brightness galaxies known, with typical stellar masses of dwarf galaxies but sizes similar to larger galaxies like the Milky Way. The reason for…
A model for core formation in dark matter haloes and ultra-diffuse galaxies by outflow episodes
We present a simple model for the response of a dissipationless spherical system to an instantaneous mass change at its centre, describing the formation of flat cores in dark matter haloes and…
A Shallow Dark Matter Halo in Ultra-diffuse Galaxy AGC 242019: Are UDGs Structurally Similar to Low-surface-brightness Galaxies?
A central question regarding ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) is whether they are in a separate category from low-surface-brightness (LSB) galaxies, or just their natural continuation toward low stellar…
Self-interacting dark matter and small-scale gravitational lenses in galaxy clusters
Recently, Meneghetti et al. reported an excess of small-scale gravitational lenses in galaxy clusters. We study its implications for self-interacting dark matter (SIDM), compared with standard cold…

The dwarf satellite galaxies of the Milky Way Crater II and Antlia II have uncommonly low dynamical mass densities, due to their large size and low velocity dispersion. Previous work have found it…
On the Orbital Decay of Globular Clusters in NGC 1052-DF2: Testing a Baryon-only Mass Model
The dark matter content of the ultra diffuse galaxy NGC1052-DF2, as inferred from globular cluster (GC) and stellar kinematics, carries a considerable amount of uncertainty, with current constraints…

The origin of ultra diffuse galaxies: stellar feedback and quenching.
TLDR
It is shown that outflows that dynamically heat galactic stars, together with a passively aging stellar population after imposed quenching, naturally reproduce the observed population of red UDGs, without the need for high spin haloes, or dynamical influence from their host cluster.
