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.

Ultra-compact dwarf galaxy formation by tidal stripping of nucleated dwarf galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013 Ultra Compact Dwarf Galaxies (UCDs) and dwarf galaxy nuclei have many common properties, such as internal velocity dispersions and colour-magnitude trends, suggesting tidally stripped dwarf galaxies as a possible UCD origin. However, UCDs typically have sizes more than twice as large as nuclei at the same luminosity. We use a GPU-enabled version of the

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999 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.

The Pristine dwarf galaxy survey–V. The edges of the dwarf galaxy Hercules
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT We present a new spectroscopic study of 175 stars in the vicinity of the dwarf galaxy Hercules (d ∼ 132 kpc) with data from the Anglo-Australian Telescope and its AAOmega spectrograph together with the Two Degree Field multi-object system to solve the conundrum that whether Hercules is tidally disrupting.

Identification and Characterization of a Large Sample of Distant Active Dwarf Galaxies in XMM-SERVS
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Active dwarf galaxies are important because they contribute to the evolution of dwarf galaxies and can reveal their hosted massive black holes. However, the sample size of such sources beyond the local universe is still highly limited.

An Overview of the Dwarf Galaxy Survey [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2013 The Dwarf Galaxy Survey (DGS) program is studying low-metallicity galaxies using 230h of far-infrared (FIR) and submillimetre (submm) photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Herschel Space Observatory and draws to this a rich database of a wide range of wavelengths tracing the dust, gas and stars.

The Mass–Metallicity Relation of Dwarf Galaxies at Cosmic Noon from JWST Observations
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We present a study of the mass–metallicity relation (MZR) of 51 dwarf galaxies ( M _⋆ ≈ 10 ^6.5 –10 ^9.5 M _⊙ ) at z = 2–3 from the A2744 and SMACS J0723-3732 galaxy cluster fields.
