The Leo-I group: new dwarf galaxy and ultra diffuse galaxy candidates [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 Context. The study of dwarf galaxies and their environments provides crucial test beds for predictions of cosmological models and insights into the structure formation on small cosmological scales. In recent years, many problems on the scale of groups of

Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994 Dwarf Spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are the faintest baryonic systems recognized as galaxies. Understanding the structure and stellar populations of these systems is critical for the modelling of their formation and evolution, and by extension, for understanding the general problem of galaxy formation ...

An r-process Enhanced Star in the Dwarf Galaxy Tucana III [PDF]
, 2017 Chemically peculiar stars in dwarf galaxies provide a window for exploring the birth environment of stars with varying chemical enrichment. We present a chemical abundance analysis of the brightest star in the newly discovered ultra-faint dwarf galaxy ...

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 ...

High Lyman Continuum Escape Fraction in a Lensed Young Compact Dwarf Galaxy at z = 2.5 [PDF]
, 2017 We present the HST WFC3/F275W UV imaging observations of A2218-Flanking, a lensed compact dwarf galaxy at redshift . The stellar mass of A2218-Flanking is and SFR is yr−1 after correcting the magnification.

Direct evidence of hierarchical assembly at low masses from isolated dwarf galaxy groups [PDF]
Nature Astronomy, 2017 The demographics of dwarf galaxy populations have long been in tension with predictions from the Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) paradigm1–4. If primordial density fluctuations were scale-free as predicted, dwarf galaxies should themselves host dark-matter ...

Dancing in the Dark: Uncertainty in Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxy Predictions from Cosmological Simulations [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 The existence of ultrafaint dwarf (UFD) galaxies highlights the need to push our theoretical understanding of galaxies to extremely low mass. We examine the formation of UFDs by twice running a fully cosmological simulation of dwarf galaxies, but varying
