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.

Extended Stellar Populations in Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxies
The Astronomical JournalThe possible existence of stellar halos in low-mass galaxies is being intensely discussed nowadays after some recent discoveries of stars located in the outskirts of dwarf galaxies of the Local Group.

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 ...
