Chemical Abundances of Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]
Dwarf galaxies, though small in size, play a crucial role in understanding the chemical evolu- tion of galaxies. Dwarf galaxies make up the overwhelming majority of galaxies in our local group and have very low metallicities.

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesLow-mass galaxies are the building blocks of massive galaxies in the framework of hierarchical structure formation. To enable detailed studies of galactic ecosystems in dwarf galaxies by spatially resolving different galactic components, we have carried ...

, 2019 Dwarf galaxies may form in the tidal tails of galaxy interactions. If these tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) detach from their parent galaxies, then an independent dwarf galaxy emerges. However, the lifespan of such objects is uncertain.

A Luminous X-Ray Active Galactic Nucleus in the Dwarf–Dwarf Galaxy Merger RGG 66
The Astrophysical JournalWe present the discovery of a luminous X-ray active galactic nucleus (AGN) in the dwarf galaxy merger RGG 66. The black hole is predicted to have a mass of M _BH ∼ 10 ^5.4 M _⊙ and to be radiating close to its Eddington limit ( L _bol / L _Edd ∼ 0.75 ...

An Accreting Supermassive Black Hole Buried in a Faint Dwarf Galaxy
The Astrophysical Journal LettersIn the last decade, there have been several discoveries of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in dwarf galaxies including an AGN in an ultracompact dwarf galaxy with a black hole mass >10 ^6 M _⊙ .

Star Formation Histories of Dwarf Galaxies in the Local Group
, 2001 International audienceA considerable fraction of dwarf galaxies may represent fossils of the very first star formation in the universe. If true, in much the same way as paleontologists reconstruct the prehistoric life from the fossils, it is possible to ...
