Two Candidates for Dual AGN in Dwarf-dwarf Galaxy Mergers
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) are important for understanding galaxy-merger-triggered fueling of black holes and the hierarchical growth of structures.

Morphological transformation of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group [PDF]
, 2015 In the Local Group there are three main types of dwarf galaxies: Dwarf Irregulars, Dwarf Spheroidals, and Dwarf Ellipticals. Intermediate/transitional types are present as well.

A Nearby Isolated Dwarf: Star Formation and Structure of ESO 006–001
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope unexpectedly revealed that the dwarf galaxy ESO 006–001 is a near neighbor to the Local Group at a distance of 2.70 ± 0.11 Mpc.

The influence of Galactic wind upon the star formation histories of Local Group galaxies [PDF]
, 1997 We examine the possibility that ram pressure exerted by the galactic wind from the Galaxy could have stripped gas from the Local Group dwarf galaxies, thereby affecting their star formation histories.

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 evolution of dwarf galaxies [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1988 We propose an evolutionary model for dwarf galaxies in Which initially metal-poor gas-rich dwarf irregular (dI) galaxies evolve through bursting Blue Compact Dwarf(BCD) stages and eventually fade from the BCD phase to become dwarf ellipticals (dE). During the bursting phase the surface brightness of the galaxy increases rapidly due to enhanced OB star ...

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 ...

The usage of Stromgren photometry in studies of Local Group Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies - Application to Draco: a new catalogue of Draco members and a study of the metallicity distribution function and radial gradients [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper we demonstrate how Stromgren uvby photometry can be efficiently used to: 1. Identify red giant branch stars that are members in a dwarf spheroidal galaxy. 2.

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.
