Dwarf Galaxies in Voids: Dark Matter Halos and Gas Cooling [PDF]
Advances in Astronomy, 2010 Galaxy surveys have shown that luminous galaxies are mainly distributed in large filaments and galaxy clusters. The remaining large volumes are virtually devoid of luminous galaxies.

Tidal Dwarf Galaxies and Missing Baryons [PDF]
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.

Bose-Einstein Condensate Dark Matter Halos Confronted with Galactic Rotation Curves [PDF]
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2017 We present a comparative confrontation of both the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) and the Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) dark halo models with galactic rotation curves.

Dwarf Galaxies with the Highest Concentration Are Not Thicker than Ordinary Dwarf Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The formation mechanism of high-concentration dwarf galaxies is still a mystery. We perform a comparative study of the intrinsic shape of nearby low-mass galaxies with different stellar concentration.

The nature of red dwarf galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 Using dark matter halos traced by galaxy groups selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4, we find that about 1/4 of the faint galaxies ($\rmag >-17.05$, hereafter dwarfs) that are the central galaxies in their own halo are not blue and ...

Giant Halos in Dwarf Irregular Galaxies vs. Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2005 We present a discovery of a giant stellar halo in NGC 6822, a dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group. This halo is mostly made of old red giants, showing striking features: 1) it is several times larger than the main body of the galaxy seen in the ...

Globular Clusters in Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2005 Data are presently available on the luminosities and half-light radii of 101 globular clusters associated with low-luminosity parent galaxies. The luminosity distribution of globulars embedded in dwarf galaxies having $M_{v} > -16$ is found to differ ...

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1998 We review the observational evidences for tidal dwarf galaxies, a class of small galaxies formed out of the tidal debris of collisions between massive galaxies. Tidal dwarfs are found far from the interacting parent galaxies, associated with massive clouds of atomic hydrogen located at the tip of long tidal tails.
