Evolution of dwarf galaxies: a dynamical perspective [PDF]
For a rotating galaxy, the inner circular-velocity gradient d_{R}V(0) provides a direct estimate of the central dynamical mass density, including gas, stars, and dark matter. We consider 60 low-mass galaxies with high-quality HI and/or stellar rotation curves (including starbursting dwarfs, irregulars, and spheroidals), and estimate d_{R}V(0) as V(R_d)/

Faint Dwarf galaxies in nearby WINGS clusters: photometric characterization [PDF]
In the cores of galaxy clusters there is a population of lows-mass stellar systems such as dwarf Early-type galaxies, ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) and ultra diffuse dwarf galaxies. We present here the photometric and morphological characterization

The cores of dwarf galaxy haloes [PDF]
We use N-body simulations to examine the effects of mass outflows on the density profiles of cold dark matter (CDM) halos surrounding dwarf galaxies. In particular, we investigate the consequences of supernova-driven winds that expel a large fraction of the baryonic component from a dwarf galaxy disk after a vigorous episode of star formation.

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Keystones of galaxy evolution [PDF]
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

On the dynamics of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy [PDF]
We use numerical simulations to test the feasibility of the suggestion by Ibata et al. (1994) that the excess population of stars which they discovered in the Sagittarius region may be the disrupted remains of a dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We find that a Fornax-like model for the pre-disruption system can indeed reproduce the data.

Secondary evolution of galaxies investigated by N-body simulations [PDF]
In the ΛCDM cosmology, merging is one of the most important physical processes that drives the formation and evolution of galaxies. In the present work, we use N-body techniques to investigate some of currently open issues related to the formation and ...

Tidal origin of dark matter-free dwarf galaxies in the NGC 1052 group
The discovery of dark matter-free (DM-free) dwarf galaxies in the NGC 1052 neighborhood has had a considerable impact on modern cosmology. The galaxies have been explained through a dwarf–dwarf head-on collision, a rare event.
