THE METALLICITY OF VOID DWARF GALAXIES [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2014
The current Lambda CDM cosmological model predicts that galaxy evolution proceeds more slowly in lower density environments, suggesting that voids are a prime location to search for relatively pristine galaxies that are representative of the building blocks of early massive galaxies.

Star Forming Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Star forming dwarf galaxies (SFDGs) have a high gas content and low metallicities, reminiscent of the basic entities in hierarchical galaxy formation scenarios. In the young universe they probably also played a major role in the cosmic reionization. Their abundant presence in the local volume and their youthful character make them ideal objects for ...

Dwarf Galaxies and Cluster Environments

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2018
AbstractWe report an investigation of the properties of dwarf galaxies (Mr < -15) inside 26 clusters at z = 0.15 – 0.25, using the X-ray data from the Chandra archive, and optical images taken with Subaru Suprime-Cam. Our results include: 1. Investigation of the dwarf galaxy density distribution is sensitive to the background galaxies and the choice

MaNGA AGN dwarf galaxies (MAD)

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Feedback from an active galactic nucleus (AGN) is one of the most important mechanisms in galaxy evolution. This phenomenon is usually found in massive galaxies and is known to regulate star formation. Although dwarf galaxies are assumed to be regulated by supernova feedback, recent studies have offered evidence to support the presence of AGN ...

Dwarfs from the Dark (Energy Survey): a machine learning approach to classify dwarf galaxies from multi-band images

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics, 2021
Countless low-surface brightness objects - including spiral galaxies, dwarf galaxies, and noise patterns - have been detected in recent large surveys.

A Comparison between the Morphologies and Structures of Dwarf Galaxies with and without Active Massive Black Holes

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We study the morphologies and structures of 57 dwarf galaxies that are representative of the general population of dwarf galaxies and compare their demographics to a sample of dwarf galaxies hosting optically selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs).

Satellites and haloes of dwarf galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2012
We study the abundance of satellite galaxies as a function of primary stellar mass using the SDSS/DR7 spectroscopic catalogue. In contrast with previous studies, which focussed mainly on bright primaries, our central galaxies span a wide range of stellar mass, 10^7.5 < M_*^pri/M_sun < 10^11, from dwarfs to central cluster galaxies.

DWARF GALAXIES AND THE COSMIC WEB [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2013
We use a cosmological simulation of the formation of the Local Group of Galaxies to identify a mechanism that enables the removal of baryons from low-mass halos without appealing to feedback or reionization. As the Local Group forms, matter bound to it develops a network of filaments and pancakes.

Dwarf elliptical galaxies as ancient tidal dwarf galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly 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
