Satellites and haloes of dwarf galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2012 We study the abundance of satellite galaxies as a function of primary stellar mass using the SDSS/DR7 spectroscopic catalogue. In contrast with previous studies, which focussed mainly on bright primaries, our central galaxies span a wide range of stellar mass, 10^7.5 < M_*^pri/M_sun < 10^11, from dwarfs to central cluster galaxies.

Footprints of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy in the Gaia data set [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 We analyse an N-body simulation of the interaction of the Milky Way (MW) with a Sagittarius-like dSph (Sgr), looking for signatures which may be attributed to its orbital history in the phase space volume around the Sun in light of Gaia DR2 discoveries.

The Next Generation Fornax Survey (NGFS). II. The Central Dwarf Galaxy Population [PDF]
, 2018 We present a photometric study of the dwarf galaxy population in the core region (≲rvir/4) of the Fornax galaxy cluster based on deep u′g′i′ photometry from the Next Generation Fornax Cluster Survey.

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 Galaxies with the Highest Concentration Are Not Thicker than Ordinary Dwarf Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Abstract The formation mechanism of high-concentration dwarf galaxies is still a mystery. We perform a comparative study of the intrinsic shape of nearby low-mass galaxies with different stellar concentration. The intrinsic shape is parameterized by the intermediate-to-major axis ratios B/A and the minor-to-major axis ratios C/A of ...

Current Velocity Data on Dwarf Galaxy NGC 1052-DF2 do not Constrain it to Lack Dark Matter [PDF]
, 2018 It was recently proposed that the globular cluster system of the very low surface brightness galaxy NGC 1052-DF2 is dynamically very cold, leading to the conclusion that this dwarf galaxy has little or no dark matter.

The Interstellar Medium of Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]
Galaxies, 2022 Dwarf galaxies are by far the most numerous galaxies in the Universe, showing properties that are quite different from those of their larger and more luminous cousins. This review focuses on the physical and chemical properties of the interstellar medium of those dwarfs that are known to host significant amounts of gas and dust. The neutral and ionized

The Faintest Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2019 The lowest luminosity ([Formula: see text] L[Formula: see text]) Milky Way satellite galaxies represent the extreme lower limit of the galaxy luminosity function. These ultra-faint dwarfs are the oldest, most dark matter–dominated, most metal-poor, and least chemically evolved stellar systems known.
