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 ...

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.

Dwarf elliptical galaxies as ancient tidal dwarf galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013 The formation of tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) is triggered by the encounters of already existing galaxies. Their existence is predicted from numerical calculations of encountering galaxies and is also well documented with observations. The numerical calculations on the formation of TDGs furthermore predict that TDGs cannot contain significant amounts of

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 observational data and their implications for theories of the formation and evolution of both dwarf
