The First Systematic Survey of Stellar Halos in High-inclination Galaxies Reveals Unusually Quiescent Merger Histories of Nearby Galaxies

Stellar halos are the only major stellar component of disk galaxies that lack systematic observational characterization, yet they encode critical information about galaxy merger histories. We present the first systematic census of stellar halos in a large, flux-limited sample of 169 high-inclination...
