Catching Tidal Dwarf Galaxies at a Later Evolutionary Stage with ALFALFA

We present deep optical imaging and photometry of four objects classified as “Almost-Dark” galaxies in the Arecibo Legacy Fast Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFALFA) survey because of their gas-rich nature and extremely faint or missing optical emission in existing catalogs. They have H i masses of 10...
