Title: | Studying stellar halos with future facilities | Authors: | GREGGIO, Laura FALOMO, Renato USLENGHI, MICHELA |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Volume: | The General Assembly of Galaxy Halos: Structure, Origin and Evolution | Editors: | Bragaglia, Angela; Arnaboldi, Magda; Rejkuba, Marina; Romano, Donatella | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASTRONOMICAL UNION | Number: | vol. 11, S317 | First Page: | 209 | Abstract: | Stellar halos around galaxies retain fundamental evidence of the processes which lead to their build up. Sophisticated models of galaxy formation in a cosmological context yield quantitative predictions about various observable characteristics, including the amount of substructure, the slope of radial mass profiles and three dimensional shapes, and the properties of the stellar populations in the halos. The comparison of such models with the observations provides constraints on the general picture of galaxy formation in the hierarchical Universe, as well as on the physical processes taking place in the halos formation. With the current observing facilities, stellar halos can be effectively probed only for a limited number of nearby galaxies. In this paper we illustrate the progress that we expect in this field with the future ground based large aperture telescopes (E-ELT) and with space based facilities as JWST. | Conference Name: | The General Assembly of Galaxy Halos: Structure, Origin and Evolution | Conference Place: | Honolulu, Hawaii, USA | Conference Date: | 3-7 August, 2015 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26332 | URL: | https://doi.org/10.1017/S1743921315007024 | ISSN: | 1743-9213 | ISBN: | 9781107138193 | DOI: | 10.1017/S1743921315007024 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016IAUS..317..209G | Fulltext: | open |
