DWARF GALAXIES OF THE LOCAL GROUP [PDF]

open access: greenAnnual 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 ...

The Faintest Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual 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.

Intermediate-mass black holes in dwarf galaxies out to redshift $\sim$ 2.4 in the Chandra COSMOS Legacy Survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We present a sample of 40 AGN in dwarf galaxies at redshifts $z \lesssim$ 2.4. The galaxies are drawn from the \textit{Chandra} COSMOS-Legacy survey as having stellar masses $10^{7}\leq M_{*}\leq3 \times 10^{9}$ M$_{\odot}$.

Star formation histories of dwarf galaxies in the FIRE simulations: dependence on mass and Local Group environment [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
We study star formation histories (SFHs) of $\simeq500$ dwarf galaxies (stellar mass $M_\ast = 10^5 - 10^9\,M_\odot$) from FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations.

Faint dwarf galaxies in nearby clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Besides giant elliptical galaxies, a number of low-mass stellar systems inhabit the cores of galaxy clusters, such as dwarf elliptical galaxies (dEs/dSphs), ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs), and globular clusters. The detailed morphological examination of faint dwarf galaxies has, until recently, been limited to the Local Group (LG) and the two very

High-resolution mass models of dwarf galaxies from LITTLE THINGS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We present high-resolution rotation curves and mass models of 26 dwarf galaxies from LITTLE THINGS. LITTLE THINGS is a high-resolution Very Large Array HI survey for nearby dwarf galaxies in the local volume within 11 Mpc.

Mid-Infrared Colors of Dwarf Galaxies: Young Starbursts Mimicking Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Searching for active galactic nuclei (AGN) in dwarf galaxies is important for our understanding of the seed black holes that formed in the early Universe. Here, we test infrared selection methods for AGN activity at low galaxy masses.

AGN feedback in dwarf galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017
Dwarf galaxy anomalies, such as their abundance and cusp-core problems, remain a prime challenge in our understanding of galaxy formation. The inclusion of baryonic physics could potentially solve these issues, but the efficiency of stellar feedback is ...

Evolution of dwarf galaxies in the Centaurus A group [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We consider star formation properties of dwarf galaxies in Cen A group observed within our HST/ACS projects number 9771 and 10235. We model color-magnitude diagrams of the galaxies under consideration and measure star formation rate and metallicity dependence on time.

The Gas Content and Stripping of Local Group Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2021
The gas content of the complete compilation of Local Group dwarf galaxies (119 within 2 Mpc) is presented using H i survey data. Within the virial radius of the Milky Way (224 kpc here), 53 of 55 dwarf galaxies are devoid of gas to limits of M H i < 104 ...
