LIGHTS. Survey Overview and a Search for Low Surface Brightness Satellite Galaxies

We present an overview of the LIGHTS (LBT Imaging of Galactic Halos and Tidal Structures) survey, which currently includes 25 nearby galaxies that are on average \(\sim\) 1 mag fainter than the Milky Way, and a catalog of 54 low central surface brightness (24 \(< \mu_{0,g}\)/mag arcsec\(^{-2} <...
