Satellites and haloes of dwarf galaxies [PDF]
Monthly 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]
The 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]
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

Chemical and kinematical evolution in nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]
, 2006 Dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are the least massive and luminous objects known to exist. These galaxies are often considered as the fossil building blocks of massive systems predicted by some cosmological models.

Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994 Dwarf Spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are the faintest baryonic systems recognized as galaxies. Understanding the structure and stellar populations of these systems is critical for the modelling of their formation and evolution, and by extension, for understanding the general problem of galaxy formation ...

NUCLEI OF EARLY-TYPE DWARF GALAXIES: ARE THEY PROGENITORS OF ULTRACOMPACT DWARF GALAXIES? [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 To address the question of whether the so-called ultracompact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) are the remnant nuclei of destroyed early-type dwarf galaxies (dEs), we analyze the stellar population parameters of the nuclei of 34 Virgo dEs, as well as 10 Virgo UCDs, including one that we discovered and which we report on here.

Near IR imaging of Centaurus group dwarf elliptical galaxies [PDF]
, 2016 Detailed studies of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group have revealed an amazing diversity in their star formation histories. Young and intermediate-age stellar populations are observed in some gas-poor dwarf ellipticals, like Fornax and Carina, where ...

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 optical images, and 2) it is elongated in the direction almost perpendicular to the HI disk of NGC 6822.
