First Results from the Dragonfly Ultrawide Survey: The Largest 11 Quenched Diffuse Dwarf Galaxies in 3100 deg2 with Spectroscopic Confirmation

First Results from the Dragonfly Ultrawide Survey: The Largest 11 Quenched Diffuse Dwarf Galaxies in 3100 deg2 with Spectroscopic Confirmation

The Dragonfly Telephoto Array employs a unique design to detect very large and diffuse galaxies that might be missed with conventional telescopes. The Dragonfly Ultrawide Survey (DFUWS) is a new wide-field survey that will cover 10,000 deg ^2 of the northern sky, and it provides an ideal data set to...
