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.

Constraining Star-Formation Driven Outflows in Local Dwarf Galaxies with Herschel
Physical Sciences Forum, 2023 Galactic feedback (i.e., outflows) plays a fundamental role in regulating galaxy formation and evolution. We investigate the physical properties of galactic outflows in a sample of 29 local low-metallicity dwarf galaxies drawn from the Dwarf Galaxy ...

The High-mass X-Ray Binary Luminosity Functions of Dwarf Galaxies
The Astrophysical JournalDrawing from the Chandra archive and using a carefully selected set of nearby dwarf galaxies, we present a calibrated high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) luminosity function in the low-mass galaxy regime and search for an already hinted at dependence on ...

The VVVX quest for satellites around the Circinus galaxy
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. The Circinus galaxy is the nearest type-2 Seyfert galaxy, located at a distance of 4.2 Mpc. Its environment is challenging to explore because of the low Galactic latitudes of its location, behind the disc of the Milky Way. Aims.

Exploring the Evolution of a Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy with SPH Simulations. II. AGN Feedback
The Astrophysical JournalWe investigate active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback from an intermediate-mass black hole at the center of a dwarf spheroidal galaxy, by performing isolated galaxy simulations using a modified version of the GADGET-3 code. We consider Leo II (PGC 34176)

It’s a Breeze: The Circumgalactic Medium of a Dwarf Galaxy Is Easy to Strip
The Astrophysical JournalThe circumgalactic medium (CGM) of star-forming dwarf galaxies plays a key role in regulating the galactic baryonic cycle. We investigate how susceptible the CGM of dwarf satellite galaxies is to ram pressure stripping in Milky Way–like environments.

Tidal Disruption of Milky Way Satellites with Shallow Dark Matter Density Profiles
Galaxies, 2016 Dwarf galaxies of the Local Group provide unique possibilities to test current theories of structure formation. Their number and properties have put the broadly accepted cold dark matter model into question, posing a few problems. These problems now seem

In Pursuit of the Least Luminous Galaxies
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
