Systematically Measuring Ultra-diffuse Galaxies (SMUDGes). VI. Nuclear Star Clusters

We present our photometric search for potential nuclear star clusters (NSCs) in ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) as an extension of the SMUDGes catalog. We identify 325 SMUDGes galaxies with NSCs and, from the 144 with existing distance estimates, identify 33 NSC hosts as UDGs ( μ _0, _g ≥ 24 mag arcse...
