Description
We have studied the quantitative morphology of the galaxies of the Coma cluster brighter than mr=17. The surface brightness profiles of all galaxies were decomposed into the structural components: bulge and disc. We found a correlation between the scale length of the discs and the location in the cluster. Galaxies located at small projected distances show smaller discs than those located in the outermost regions of the cluster. We have also investigated the correlation betwenn the B-r color of the galaxies and their environment. For late-type galaxies there is a correlation between the color and the position in the cluster. The bluest galaxies are located in the outermost regions of the cluster and show the largest discs. These results can be explained in terms of galaxy harassment.

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche

    Deep HST Imaging Favors the Bulgeless Edge-on Galaxy Explanation for the Hypothetical Stellar Wake Created by a Runaway Supermassive Black Hole
    A long linear structure recently discovered could be the stellar wake produced by the passage of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) or, alternatively, a bulgeless edge-on galaxy. We report on new very deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging that seems to be in tension with the SMBH runaway scenario but is consistent with the bulgeless edge-on
