Abstract:The environment of NGC 1052 has recently attracted much attention because of the presence of low-surface-brightness galaxies (LSBGs) with apparently "exotic" properties, making it a region of high interest for the detection of new objects. We used public deep photometric data from the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey to carry out a comprehensive search for LSBGs over a wide region of 6×6 degrees, equivalent to 2×2 Mpc at the distance of NGC 1052. We detected 42 LSBGs with r e f f > 5 arcsec and µ g (0) > 24 ma… Show more
