AbstractWe present results from a study of the SFH of a sample of LSB galaxies around the HDF-S. For the selection of the LSB galaxy candidates we used color–color diagrams, from which we selected the candidates based on their different location in comparison to the HSB galaxy redshift tracks. We compared measured spectra to synthetic SEDs from synthesis evolution models. We were able to fit SEDs in the range of 2 to 5 Gyr to the spectra of the LSB galaxies, while applying the same method to a sample of HSB galaxies resulted in an averaged stellar population of about 10 to 14 Gyr. Therefore, LSB galaxies tend to show much younger averaged stellar populations. This implies that the major star formation event of LSB galaxies took place at a redshift of z ~ 0.2 to 0.4 while for HSB galaxies this tends to be at z ~ 2 to 4.

AbstractWe present preliminary results of a study of the low frequency radio continuum emission from the nuclei of Giant Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies. We have mapped the emission and searched for extended features such as radio lobes/jets associated with AGN activity. LSB galaxies are poor in star formation and generally less evolved compared to nearby bright spirals. This paper presents low frequency observations of 3 galaxies; PGC 045080 at 1.4 GHz, 610 MHz, 325MHz, UGC 1922 at 610 MHz and UGC 6614 at 610 MHz. The observations were done with the GMRT. Radio cores as well as extended structures were detected and mapped in all three galaxies; the extended emission may be assocated with jets/lobes associated with AGN activity. Our results indicate that although these galaxies are optically dim, their nuclei can host AGN that are bright in the radio domain.

AbstractBased on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR 7, we investigate the environment, morphology, and stellar population of bulgeless low surface-brightness (LSB) galaxies in a volume-limited sample with redshift ranging from 0.024 to 0.04 and Mr ≤ −18.8. We find that, for bulgeless galaxies, the surface brightness does not depend on the environment. Irregular LSB galaxies have more young stars and are more metal-poor than regular LSB galaxies. These results suggest that the evolution of LSB galaxies may be driven by their dynamics, including mergers rather than by their large-scale environment.

Ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are a type of large low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies with particularly large effective radii (reff >  1.5 kpc) that are now routinely studied in the Local (z <  0.1) Universe. While they are found to be abundant in clusters, groups, and in the field, their formation mechanisms remain elusive and comprise an active topic of debate. New insights may be found by studying their counterparts at higher redshifts (z >  1.0), even though cosmological surface brightness dimming makes them particularly difficult to detect and study in this channel. In this work, we use the deepest Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging stacks of z >  1 clusters, namely, SPT-CL J2106−5844 and MOO J1014+0038. These two clusters, at z = 1.13 and z = 1.23, respectively, were monitored as part of the HST See-Change programme. In making a comparison with the Hubble Extreme Deep Field as the reference field, we find statistical over-densities of large LSB galaxies in both clusters. Based on stellar-population modelling and assuming no size evolution, we find that the faintest sources we can detect are about as bright as expected for the progenitors of the brightest local UDGs. We find that the LSBs we detect in SPT-CL J2106−5844 and MOO J1014−5844 already have old stellar populations that place them on the red sequence. In correcting for incompleteness and based on an extrapolation of local scaling relations, we estimate that distant UDGs are relatively under-abundant, as compared to local UDGs, by a factor ∼3. A plausible explanation for the implied increase over time would be the significant growth of these galaxies over the last ∼8 Gyr, as also suggested by hydrodynamical simulations.

AbstractMassive low surface brightness galaxies have disk central surface brightnesses at least one magnitude fainter than the night sky, but total magnitudes and masses that show they are among the largest galaxies known. Like all low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies, massive LSB galaxies are often in the midst of star formation yet their stellar light has remained diffuse, raising the question of how star formation is proceeding within these galaxies. We have undertaken a multi-wavelength study to clarify the structural parameters and stellar and gas content of these enigmatic systems. The results of these studies, which include HI, CO, optical, near UV, and far UV images of the galaxies will provide the most in depth study done to date of how, when, and where star formation proceeds within this unique subset of the galaxy population.

AbstractExtremely red halos have been detected around high surface brightness (HSB) disk galaxies and blue compact galaxies. We analyse the halo emission of a sample of 970 stacked edge-on low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies in the SDSS (DR4) down to μg ~ 30 mag arcsec−2. These are divided by g − r colour limits into a “blue” Sample A (336 galaxies), “yellow” Sample B (318 galaxies) and “red” Sample C (316 galaxies). The gri colours indicate a prominent red excess in the polar direction, strongly deviating from any normal stellar population.

AbstractA large sample of low surface brightness (LSB) disk galaxies is selected from SDSS with B-band central surface brightness μ0(B) from 22 to 24.5 mag arcsec−2. Some of their properties are studied, such as magnitudes, surface brightness, scalelengths, colors, metallicities, stellar populations, stellar masses and multiwavelength SEDs from UV to IR etc. These properties of LSB galaxies have been compared with those of the galaxies with higher surface brightnesses. Then we check the variations of these properties following surface brightness.

AbstractWe examine the constraints that can be placed on the space density of low-surface-brightness galaxies from deep HST images. Such images, while covering only a small solid angle, provide enough depth and spatial resolution to detect LSB galaxies at moderate redshift and distinguish them from galaxies of higher surface brightness.We consider five simple models of the non-evolving or slowly-evolving population of LSB galaxies, motivated by various discussions in the recent literature. The basic results are (1) models with a large space-density of giant LSB galaxies at moderate redshift do not look like the real world and, (2) models with a large space-density of dwarf LSB galaxies are consistent with HST data (that is, they do not produce more faint LSB galaxies per unit solid angle than are detected at magnitudes I ≳ 23), but these LSB dwarf galaxies do not contribute much to faint galaxy counts unless they formed their stars in a rapid burst.

AbstractWe analyze deep CCD images of nearby Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxies in an attempt to understand the nature of the progenitors which are hosting the current burst of star formation. In particular, we ask whether BCDs are hosted by normal or low-surface-brightness dI galaxies. We conclude that BCDs are in fact hosted by gas-rich galaxies which populate the extreme high-central-mass-density end of the dwarf galaxy distribution. Such galaxies are predisposed to having numerous strong bursts of star formation in their central regions. In this picture, BCDs can only occur in the minority of dwarf galaxies, rather than being a common phase experienced by all gas-rich dwarfs.
