Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Isochrones, equal‐age curves, are widely used in astrophysics to estimate stellar ages. Classical stellar parameters are, however, very limited in their usability for main sequence stars because of their weak age‐dependence. Here, rotation period measurements provide complementary information.

The Magellanic Group and the Seven Dwarfs [PDF]
, 2008 The Magellanic Clouds were the largest members of a group of dwarf galaxies that entered the Milky Way (MW) halo at late times. This group, dominated by the LMC, contained ~4% of the mass of the Milky Way prior to its accretion and tidal disruption, but ~

Evolution of Terrestrial Planetary Bodies and Implications for Habitability
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.Abstract The terrestrial planetary bodies of our solar system—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—share a common origin through nebular accretion and early magma ocean differentiation, yet they diverged significantly in geological evolution, tectonic regimes, and habitability.

Evidence for Mass-dependent Evolution of Transitional Dwarf Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
The Astrophysical JournalThe presence of transitional dwarf galaxies in cluster environments supports the hypothesis that infalling star-forming galaxies are transformed into quiescent early-type dwarf galaxies (ETdGs) through environmental effects.

Overmassive Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies Out to z ∼ 0.9 in the VIPERS Survey
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are thought to originate from early universe seed black holes of mass M _BH ∼ 10 ^2 –10 ^5 M _⊙ and grown through cosmic time. Such seeds could be powering the active galactic nuclei (AGN) found in today’s dwarf galaxies.

Chemodynamic evolution of dwarf galaxies in tidal fields [PDF]
, 2016 The mass-metallicity relation shows that the galaxies with the lowest mass have the lowest metallicities. As most dwarf galaxies are in group environments, interaction effects such as tides could contribute to this trend.

Visionaries and Crackpots, Maniacs and Saints: Existential Risk and the Politics of Longtermism
Ratio, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 268-278, December 2025.ABSTRACT Despite advancing strong claims about our collective priorities, longtermism has received little attention in debates in political philosophy. I first provide an account of longtermism that highlights the way it departs from established work on intergenerational justice.

, 2019 In this work we use structural properties of Milky Way's outer halo ($R_G > 25\,\mathrm{kpc}$) satellites (dwarf spheroidal galaxies, ultra-faint dwarf galaxies and globular clusters) derived from deep, wide-field and homogeneous data, to present ...

New Arabic Records From Cairo on Supernovae 1181 and 1006
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 9, November 2025.ABSTRACT The remnant of the historical supernova SN 1181 is under discussion: While the previously suggested G130.7+3.1 (3C58) appears too old (3000–5000 year), the unusual star IRAS00500+6713 with a surrounding nebula (Pa‐30) has an expansion age not inconsistent with a SN Iax explosion in ad 1181 under the assumption that neither acceleration nor ...

Wandering globular clusters: the first dwarf galaxies in the universe?
, 2010 In the last decade we witness an advent of new types of dwarf stellar systems in cluding ultra-compact dwarfs, ultra-faint dwarf spheroidals, and exotic globular clusters, breaking the old simple paradigm for dwarf galaxies and globular clusters.
