The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dwarf galaxies located in extremely underdense cosmic voids are excellent test beds for disentangling the effects of large-scale environments on galaxy formation and evolution. We present the first results of the Dwarfs in Void Environments Survey, which

UGC 7639: A Dwarf Galaxy in the Canes Venatici I Cloud
Advances in Astronomy, 2015 We want to get insight into the formation mechanism and the evolution of UGC 7639, a dwarf galaxy in the Canes Venatici I Cloud (CVnIC). We used archival multiwavelength data to constrain its global properties. Ultraviolet images show that UGC 7639 inner

A Comparison of Outflow Properties in AGN Dwarfs versus Star-forming Dwarfs
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Feedback likely plays a crucial role in resolving discrepancies between observations and theoretical predictions of dwarf galaxy properties. Stellar feedback was once believed to be sufficient to explain these discrepancies, but it has thus far failed to

An Accreting Supermassive Black Hole Buried in a Faint Dwarf Galaxy
The Astrophysical Journal LettersIn the last decade, there have been several discoveries of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in dwarf galaxies including an AGN in an ultracompact dwarf galaxy with a black hole mass >10 ^6 M _⊙ .

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Isochrones, equal‐age curves, are widely used in astrophysics to estimate stellar ages. Classical stellar parameters are, however, very limited in their usability for main sequence stars because of their weak age‐dependence. Here, rotation period measurements provide complementary information.

Quantifying Bursty Star Formation in Dwarf Galaxies
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsDwarf galaxy star formation histories are theoretically expected to be bursty, potentially leaving distinct imprints on their chemical evolution. We propose that episodic starbursts with quiescent periods longer than ~100 Myr should lead to discontinuous

Evolution of Terrestrial Planetary Bodies and Implications for Habitability
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.Abstract The terrestrial planetary bodies of our solar system—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—share a common origin through nebular accretion and early magma ocean differentiation, yet they diverged significantly in geological evolution, tectonic regimes, and habitability.

Visionaries and Crackpots, Maniacs and Saints: Existential Risk and the Politics of Longtermism
Ratio, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 268-278, December 2025.ABSTRACT Despite advancing strong claims about our collective priorities, longtermism has received little attention in debates in political philosophy. I first provide an account of longtermism that highlights the way it departs from established work on intergenerational justice.

Discovery of a Double-core Dwarf Galaxy in a Major Wet Merger: MCG+08-16-005
The Astronomical JournalI present the discovery of a dwarf galaxy with double cores, MCG+08-16-005, observed by an Integral Field Unit. Based on photometric and spatially resolved spectroscopic analyses, the galaxy is suggested as an ongoing dwarf-dwarf merger. MCG+08-16-005 is
