Dwarf Galaxies in the Local Group and in the Local Volume [PDF]

open access: yes2001, in ``Dwarf Galaxies and their Environment'', 40th Graduiertenkolleg-Workshop, eds. K.S. de Boer, R.-J. Dettmar, & U. Klein (Bonn:Shaker Verlag), 45-52, 2001
After summarizing the characteristics of different types of dwarf galaxies I briefly review our current state of knowledge of dwarf galaxy evolution in the Local Group, for which we now have a fairly detailed although by no means comprehensive picture.

Origin of Non-axisymmetric Features of Virgo Cluster Early-type Dwarf Galaxies. I. Bar Formation and Recurrent Buckling

open access: yes, 2017
A fraction of early-type dwarf galaxies in the Virgo cluster have a disk component and even possess disk features such as bar, lens, and spiral arms.

Limits to dark matter annihilation cross-section from a combined analysis of MAGIC and Fermi-LAT observations of dwarf satellite galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present the first joint analysis of gamma-ray data from the MAGIC Cherenkov telescopes and the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) to search for gamma-ray signals from dark matter annihilation in dwarf satellite galaxies.

A Brief, Biased View of Neutron Star Cooling

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT This is a concise and non‐technical review of topics related to neutron star (NS) cooling, for both young NSs and NSs in low‐mass x‐ray binaries. Neutrino emission from the NS core drives cooling rates, via different processes including Urca processes and pair breaking and formation at the neutron superfluid critical temperature.

The mass of dwarf spheroidal galaxies and the missing satellite problem

open access: yes, 2005
We present the results from a suite of N-body simulations of the tidal stripping of two-component dwarf galaxies comprising some stars and dark matter. We show that recent kinematic data from the local group dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies suggests that

Ultradiffuse galaxies: the high-spin tail of the abundant dwarf galaxy population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Recent observations have revealed the existence of an abundant population of faint, low surface brightness (SB) galaxies, which appear to be numerous and ubiquitous in nearby galaxy clusters, including the Virgo, Coma and Fornax clusters.

Rendez-vous of dwarfs

open access: yes, 2010
We present observations of multiple system of dwarf galaxies at the Russian 6-m telescope and the GMRT (Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope). The optical observations are a part of the programme Study of Groups of Dwarf Galaxies in the Local Supercluster ...

Dark-matter-free Dwarf Galaxy Formation at the Tips of the Tentacles of Jellyfish Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
When falling into a galaxy cluster, galaxies experience a loss of gas due to ram pressure stripping. In particular, disk galaxies lose gas from their disks, and very large tentacles of gas can be formed.

Globular Clusters in Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2006
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 dramatically from that for globular clusters surrounding giant host galaxies with $M_{v} < -16 ...
