The Star Formation History in Local Group Galaxies. I. Ten Dwarf Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
The star formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies provide valuable insights into galaxy evolution and stellar physics. Understanding the SFHs enables the study of chemical enrichment of galaxies, star formation triggered by interactions, and the behavior ...

The Ecosystem Of Dwarf Galaxies

, 2017
It remains unclear what physical mechanisms are triggering starbursts in low-mass galaxies and what is the effect of stellar feedback in their shallow potential wells. We study a sample of 18 nearby starburst dwarfs using multi-wavelength data, including interferometric HI observations, HST imaging, and MUSE integral-field spectroscopy.

The Dwarf Satellites of M31 and the Galaxy [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 2006
The satellite systems of M31 and the Galaxy are compared. It is noted that all five of the suspected stripped dSph cores of M31 companions are located within a projected distance of 40 kpc of from the nucleus of this galaxy, whereas the normal dSph companions to this object have distances > 40 kpc from the center of M31.

Extended Stellar Populations in Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxies

The Astronomical Journal
The 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 Search for Faint Resolved Galaxies Beyond the Milky Way in DES Year 6: A New Faint, Diffuse Dwarf Satellite of NGC 55

The Astrophysical Journal
We report results from a systematic wide-area search for faint dwarf galaxies at heliocentric distances from 0.3 to 2 Mpc using the full 6 yr of data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES).

A Luminous X-Ray Active Galactic Nucleus in the Dwarf–Dwarf Galaxy Merger RGG 66

The Astrophysical Journal
We 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 ...

A Detailed Study of Dwarf Galaxies in the Core of the Coma Cluster [PDF]

arXiv
In an earlier paper, we determined the morphological types of galaxies in the Coma Cluster using data from the HST/ACS Coma Cluster treasury survey. We found that of the 132 members, 51 are non dwarfs and 81 are dwarfs. We define dwarfs to have a absolute luminosity $M_{F814W}\geq -18.5$ as in \cite{2012ApJ...746..136M}.

An Accreting Supermassive Black Hole Buried in a Faint Dwarf Galaxy

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
In 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 _⊙ .
