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.

Formation of a Massive Lenticular Galaxy Under the Tidal Interaction with a Group of Dwarf Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Based on the atomic-hydrogen (H i ) observations using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope, we present a detailed study of the gas-rich massive S0 galaxy NGC 1023 in a nearby galaxy group.

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.

A Nonrepeating Fast Radio Burst in a Dwarf Host Galaxy
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.

Two Candidates for Dual AGN in Dwarf-dwarf Galaxy Mergers
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) are important for understanding galaxy-merger-triggered fueling of black holes and the hierarchical growth of structures.

THE LOCAL DWARF GALAXIES:BUILDING BLOCKS OFMASSIVE ONES? I.THE FORNAX DWARF GALAXY
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2008 A chemical evolution of the Local Group dwarf galaxy Fornax is considered in the framework of the merger scenario. We suppose a galactic stellar halo to be formed as separate fragments which then merge; thus, we can calculate the set of such the ...
