The realm of giant low surface brightness galaxies – Gaspar Galaz

In this talk, I will summarize the properties of giant low surface brightness galaxies (gLSBGs) and the efforts to uncover and understand their most remarkable characteristics. I will focus on their stellar and gas properties, with particular attention to their unique star formation processes. Additionally, I will highlight recent advances regarding one of the most iconic gLSBGs—Malin 1, the largest spiral galaxy observed to date. Lastly, I will explore potential scenarios that may contribute to the formation of these extraordinary objects.
