A Nonrepeating Fast Radio Burst in a Dwarf Host Galaxy [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the discovery of an as yet nonrepeating fast radio burst (FRB), FRB 20210117A, with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), as a part of the Commensal Real-time ASKAP Fast Transients Survey.

In Pursuit of the Least Luminous Galaxies [PDF]
Advances in Astronomy, 2010 The dwarf galaxy companions to the Milky Way are unique cosmological laboratories. With luminosities as low as 10−7LMW, they inhabit the lowest mass dark matter halos known to host stars and are presently the most direct tracers of the distribution, mass

Dwarf Galaxies in Voids: Dark Matter Halos and Gas Cooling [PDF]
Advances in Astronomy, 2010 Galaxy surveys have shown that luminous galaxies are mainly distributed in large filaments and galaxy clusters. The remaining large volumes are virtually devoid of luminous galaxies.

Potential impact of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy on the formation of young O-rich stars [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe Milky Way underwent significant transformations in its early history, characterised by violent mergers and satellite galaxy accretion. However, recent observations reveal notable star formation events over the past 4 Gyr, likely triggered by ...

Dehnen halo effect on a black hole in an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy [PDF]
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2022 There had been recent advancement toward the detection of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, which may serve as a useful laboratory for dark matter exploration since some of them contains almost 99% of pure dark matter. The majority of these galaxies contain no

An extended halo around an ancient dwarf galaxy [PDF]
Nature Astronomy, 2020 The Milky Way is surrounded by dozens of ultrafaint (107 M☉, consistent with a generalized Navarro–Frenk–White density profile. The extended nature of Tucana II suggests that it may have undergone strong bursty feedback or been the product of an early ...

Formation of Transitional cE/UCD Galaxies through Massive/Dwarf Disc Galaxy Mergers
Galaxies, 2023 The dynamics of the merger of a dwarf disc galaxy with a massive spiral galaxy of the Milky Way type were studied in detail. The remnant of such interaction after numerous crossings of the satellite through the disc of the main galaxy was a compact ...

Dependence of stellar substructures in M31 type galaxy on satellite morphology in galaxy mergers [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2022 Stellar streams and shells are observed in halos of spiral galaxies. In this paper, we investigated the formation of these structures due to mergers between the host spiral galaxy and its dwarf satellite galaxies.

Constraining Primordial Black Holes with Dwarf Galaxy Heating [PDF]
, 2020 Black holes formed in the early universe, prior to the formation of stars, can exist as dark matter and also contribute to the black hole merger events observed in gravitational waves.
