Probing galactic assembly with Low Surface Brightness tidal features

Hierarchical models of galactic evolution predict that galaxies assemble through successive mergers, leaving behind tidal features. These faint stellar features hold the imprints of the late mass assembly of galaxies, as their properties are a function of the type of the merger that happened. The study of these tidal features is therefore crucial to better understand galaxy evolution, but their detection is hindered by their Low Surface Brightness (LSB), requiring dedicated observing strategies and/or data reduction pipelines. During this talk, I will present the quantitative analysis of tidal features around hundreds of galaxies in the nearby Universe, using both ground-based (CFHT) and space-based (Euclid) telescopes. Using a dedicated annotation tool, we quantitatively characterised these features (photometry, geometry). I will discuss the correlations between the properties of galaxies and of their tidal features, as well as the future prospects and challenges.
