Dependence of stellar substructures in M31 type galaxy on satellite morphology in galaxy mergers [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2022 Stellar streams and shells are observed in halos of spiral galaxies. In this paper, we investigated the formation of these structures due to mergers between the host spiral galaxy and its dwarf satellite galaxies.

Searching for TeV Dark Matter in Irregular Dwarf Galaxies with HAWC Observatory
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the results of dark matter (DM) searches in a sample of 31 dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxies within the field of view of the HAWC Observatory.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dwarf galaxies located in extremely underdense cosmic voids are excellent test beds for disentangling the effects of large-scale environments on galaxy formation and evolution. We present the first results of the Dwarfs in Void Environments Survey, which

The Cusp–Core Problem in Gas-Poor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
Galaxies, 2021 This review deals with the inconsistency of inner dark matter density profiles in dwarf galaxies, known as the cusp–core problem. In particular, we aim to focus on gas-poor dwarf galaxies.

The quest for dark matter in dwarf spheroidal galaxies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are among the best environments that can be studied with Cherenkov telescopes for indirect searches of γ-ray signals coming from dark matter self-interaction (annihilation or decay), due to their proximity and negligible ...

Abundance Analysis of Stars at Large Radius in the Sextans Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the stellar parameters and chemical abundances of 30 elements for five stars located at large radii (3.5–10.7 times the half-light radius) in the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We selected these stars using proper motions, radial velocities,

On the Dynamical Heating of Dwarf Galaxies in a Fuzzy Dark Matter Halo
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Fuzzy dark matter (FDM), consisting of ultralight bosons, is an intriguing alternative to cold dark matter. Numerical simulations solving the Schrödinger–Poisson (SP) equation, which governs FDM dynamics, show that FDM halos consist of a central ...

Tidal Dwarf Galaxies and Missing Baryons
Advances in Astronomy, 2010 Tidal dwarf galaxies form during the interaction, collision, or merger of massive spiral galaxies. They can resemble “normal” dwarf galaxies in terms of mass, size, and become dwarf satellites orbiting around their massive progenitor.

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 While recent sky surveys have uncovered large numbers of ever fainter Milky Way satellites, their classification as star clusters, low-luminosity galaxies, or tidal overdensities remains often unclear. Likewise, their contributions to the build-up of the

Annihilating dark matter search with 12 years of Fermi LAT data in nearby galaxy clusters
SciPost Physics Proceedings, 2023 Galaxy clusters contain an abundance of dark matter making them attractive laboratories for indirect DM searches. This work details a search for signals of pair annihilation from WIMP dark matter in the GeV gamma ray regime.
