Stellar stream curvature constrains dark matter halo axis ratios and orientations in external galaxies, with some streams excluding broad ranges of flattenings while all support spherical halos for fixed flattening directions.
A candidate ultra-diffuse galaxy, Zangetsu, found in HSC COSMOS images is unusually elongated, quiescent, apparently isolated, and an extreme size outlier.
A deep survey of 170 brightest cluster galaxies finds 71% have single-Sersic light profiles, 29% need two components, and BCG+ICL scaling relations are steeper than those of normal ellipticals.
SSL model detects galaxy interaction signatures with recall 0.86 and low contamination while CAS at A>0.35 has recall 0.20 but higher precision, benchmarked on visual classification of 25.1% disturbed fraction.
