Hedgehog: An Isolated Quiescent Dwarf Galaxy at 2.4 Mpc

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
It is well known that almost all isolated dwarf galaxies are actively forming stars. We report the discovery of dw1322m2053 (nicknamed Hedgehog), an isolated quiescent dwarf galaxy at a distance of 2.40 ± 0.15 Mpc with a stellar mass of M _⋆ ≈ 10 ^5.8 M ...

Angular Momentum in Dwarf Galaxies

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2014
AbstractWe study the “angular momentum catastrophe” in the framework of interaction among baryons and dark matter through dynamical friction. By means of Del Popolo (2009) model we simulate 14 galaxies similar to those investigated by van den Bosch, Burkert and Swaters (2001), and calculate the distribution of their spin parameters and the angular ...

Chemical Abundances in the Leiptr Stellar Stream: A Disrupted Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy?

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics
Chemical abundances of stellar streams can be used to determine the nature of a stream's progenitor. Here we study the progenitor of the recently discovered Leiptr stellar stream, which was previously suggested to be a tidally disrupted halo globular ...

Optical Observations of M81 Galaxy Group in Narrow Band [SII] and H_alpha Filters: Holmberg IX [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2009
We present observations of the nearby tidal dwarf galaxy Holmberg IX in M81 galaxy group in narrow band [SII] and H$alpha$ filters, carried out in March and November 2008 with the 2m RCC telescope at NAO Rozhen, Bulgaria.

The Host Galaxy of the Hyperactive Repeating FRB 20240114A: Behind a Galaxy Cluster

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report on the optical spectroscopic observations of the host galaxy of the hyperactive repeating fast radio burst (FRB) FRB 20240114A. The host galaxy is a dwarf galaxy at a redshift of z  = 0.1306 ± 0.0002.
