The giant low surface brightness galaxy Malin 1: news for an amazing galaxy
I present new results for the stellar and stellar formation properties of the giant low surface brightness galaxy (gLSBG) Malin 1, obtained recently with the VLT/MUSE and GBT. I describe these results in the scope of the perplexing structural and stellar formation properties of Malin 1. These results, as well as other well-known properties of gLSBGs, represent a challenge for the galaxy formation models. I discuss this aspect too.
