Globular Clusters and the Halos of Dwarf Galaxies
Galaxies, 2017 Many dwarf galaxies have disproportionately rich globular cluster (GC) systems for their luminosities. Moreover, the GCs tend to be preferentially associated with the most metal-poor stellar populations in their parent galaxies, making them attractive ...

Morphological transformation of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group [PDF]
, 2015 In the Local Group there are three main types of dwarf galaxies: Dwarf Irregulars, Dwarf Spheroidals, and Dwarf Ellipticals. Intermediate/transitional types are present as well.

Intermediate-mass black holes in dwarf galaxies out to redshift ∼2.4 in the Chandra COSMOS-Legacy Survey [PDF]
, 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$_{\odot}$.

Characteristic size and mass of galaxies in the Bose–Einstein condensate dark matter model
Physics Letters B, 2016 We study the characteristic length scale of galactic halos in the Bose–Einstein condensate (or scalar field) dark matter model. Considering the evolution of the density perturbation we show that the average background matter density determines the ...

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 ...

Neutron-capture elements in dwarf galaxies [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 Context. We present a large homogeneous set of stellar parameters and abundances across a broad range of metallicities, involving 13 classical dwarf spheroidal (dSph) and ultra-faint dSph (UFD) galaxies. In total, this study includes 380 stars in Fornax,

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.

Radio jets from AGNs in dwarf galaxies in the COSMOS survey: mechanical feedback out to redshift ∼3.4 [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 Dwarf galaxies are thought to host the remnants of the early Universe seed black holes (BHs) and to be dominated by supernova feedback. However, recent studies suggest that BH feedback could also strongly impact their growth. We report the discovery of
