Abstract:The census of stellar tidal streams around nearby massive galaxies has significantly grown from recent deep imaging of the low-surface brightness sky. In this work we study the striking case of a blue narrow stream with a possible globular clusterlike progenitor around the Milky Way-size galaxy NGC 7241 and its foreground dwarf companion. We present a follow-up spectroscopic study of this stream based on data taken with the MEGARA instrument at the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias using the integral field spect… Show more
