Over the past several decades, advances in telescope/detector technologies and deep imaging techniques have pushed surface brightness limits to ever fainter levels. We can now both detect and measure the diffuse, extended star light that surrounds galaxies and permeates galaxy clusters, enabling the study of galaxy halos, tidal streams, diffuse galaxy populations, and the assembly history of galaxies and galaxy clusters. With successes come new challenges, however, and pushing even deeper will require careful attention to systematic sources of error. In this review I highlight recent advances in the study of diffuse starlight in galaxies, and discuss challenges faced by the next generation of deep imaging campaigns.

  1. Automated galaxy sizes in Euclid images using the Segment Anything Model

    astro-ph.GA 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    SAM, a zero-shot image segmentation model, can automatically trace galaxy disk truncations in Euclid-like images and recover galaxy sizes with a median error of about 3% versus expert measurements.

  2. Tidal Structures Around Edge-On Galaxies in Deep Imaging Surveys

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    About 6% of edge-on disk galaxies in DESI Legacy and Pan-STARRS imaging show tidal features at r-band surface brightness of 28.6 mag/arcsec², consistent with recent TNG50 simulations.
