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.

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 ...

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.

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.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We study the morphologies and structures of 57 dwarf galaxies that are representative of the general population of dwarf galaxies and compare their demographics to a sample of dwarf galaxies hosting optically selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs).

Galaxy threshing and the formation of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies [PDF]
, 2001 Recent spectroscopic and morphological observational studies of galaxies around NGC 1399 in the Fornax Cluster (Drinkwater et al. 2000b) have discovered several `ultra-compact dwarf' galaxies with intrinsic sizes of $\sim$ 100 pc and absolute $B$ band ...

The Relationship between Slope and Luminosity [PDF]
Kirkuk Journal of Science, 2010 In this study, a sample of galaxies has been adopted. It consists of 112 elliptical galaxies, among them were 56 dwarf elliptical galaxies, which belong to virgo cluster, 37 normal galaxies and 19 bright galaxies. Also, surface brightness profiles fitted

Globular Clusters and the Halos of Dwarf Galaxies
Galaxies, 2017 Many dwarf galaxies have disproportionately rich globular cluster (GC) systems for their luminosities. Moreover, the GCs tend to be preferentially associated with the most metal-poor stellar populations in their parent galaxies, making them attractive ...
