Searching for nearby diffuse dwarf galaxies in the COSMOS field

It remains challenging to systematically survey nearby diffuse dwarf galaxies and address the formation mechanism of this population distinguishing from regular ones. We carry out a pilot search for these galaxies in the COSMOS field using the deep HST/F814W imaging data. We report three diffuse dwa...
