✨How many galaxies should #ARRAKIHS observe? Simulations suggest ~80–84 gives a strong chance of capturing the diverse range of stellar halos needed for significant science, a smart balance of ambition and feasibility 🚀🌌 🔗 arrakihs-mission.eu/2025/12/19/h...

In 2022, #Arrakihs was selected as a fast mission under #CosmicVision. By imaging Milky Way-type galaxies in the nearby Universe, Arrakihs will provide important measurements to address key questions in galaxy formation theory.  1/ #CM25 🔭

🔭 New research shows that AI models like SAM can measure galaxy sizes with ~1% accuracy. This could be key for ARRAKIHS, helping detect faint halos, tidal streams, and other low–surface-brightness features that trace galactic evolution and dark matter. 📲 bit.ly/4pZR113 @cefca-oaj.bsky.social
