Scientific paper

Galaxies are not simple superpositions of disks and spheroids. Instead, most galaxies host additional faint stellar components that can be traced with either low surface brightness imaging or photometry of individual resolved stars. I will discuss the growing body of evidence that these faint diffuse structures are a ubiquitous by-product of galaxy formation, and show how measurements of their structures, kinematics, and stellar populations place constraints on the early assembly of galaxies.
