A population of faint low surface brightness galaxies in the Perseus cluster core

We present the detection of 89 low surface brightness (LSB), and thus low stellar density galaxy candidates in the Perseus cluster core, of the kind named ‘ultra-diffuse galaxies’, with mean effective V-band surface brightnesses 24.8-27.1 mag arcsec−2, total V-band magnitudes −11.8 to −15.5 mag, and...
