Galaxy Morphology and Low Surface Brightness Features
Chairs: Garreth Martin, Aritra Ghosh, Burcin Mutlu-Pakdil, Marc Huertas-Company
This session will focus on galaxy morphology and low surface brightness (LSB) features (e.g., tidal streams, tails).
The imaging quality that LSST will deliver will provide significantly more morphological and LSB information for a far greater number of objects than any previous large survey. The goal of this session is to hear from researchers in the field about how they're preparing to model/classify galaxy/LSB features in the big data era of the LSST.
Please contact the session chair with any questions, or if you'd like to volunteer to speak or help with this session.
