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 ...

DWARF GALAXIES OF THE LOCAL GROUP [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1998 ▪ Abstract The Local Group dwarf galaxies offer a unique window to the detailed properties of the most common type of galaxy in the Universe. In this review, I update the census of Local Group dwarfs based on the most recent distance and radial velocity ...

Giant Halos in Dwarf Irregular Galaxies vs. Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2005 We present a discovery of a giant stellar halo in NGC 6822, a dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group. This halo is mostly made of old red giants, showing striking features: 1) it is several times larger than the main body of the galaxy seen in the ...

Galaxy threshing and the formation of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 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 ...

Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies : Keystones of Galaxy Evolution [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1994 Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are the most insignificant extragalactic stellar systems in terms of their visibility, but potentially very significant in terms of their role in the formation and evolution of much more luminous galaxies. We discuss the present

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999 We review the observational evidences for tidal dwarf galaxies, a class of small galaxies formed out of the tidal debris of collisions between massive galaxies. Tidal dwarfs are found far from the interacting parent galaxies, associated with massive clouds of atomic hydrogen located at the tip of long tidal tails.

The Pristine dwarf galaxy survey–V. The edges of the dwarf galaxy Hercules
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT We present a new spectroscopic study of 175 stars in the vicinity of the dwarf galaxy Hercules (d ∼ 132 kpc) with data from the Anglo-Australian Telescope and its AAOmega spectrograph together with the Two Degree Field multi-object system to solve the conundrum that whether Hercules is tidally disrupting.

X-ray detected AGN in SDSS dwarf galaxies [PDF]
, 2020 In this work we present a robust quantification of X-ray selected AGN in local ($z \leq 0.25$) dwarf galaxies ($M_\mathrm{*} \leq 3 \times 10^9 \mathrm{M_\odot}$).

The Faintest Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2019 The lowest luminosity ([Formula: see text] L[Formula: see text]) Milky Way satellite galaxies represent the extreme lower limit of the galaxy luminosity function.
