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 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.

Harassment Origin for Kinematic Substructures in Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies? [PDF]
, 2005 We have run high resolution N-body models simulating the encounter of a dwarf galaxy with a bright elliptical galaxy. The dwarf absorbs orbital angular momentum and shows counter-rotating features in the external regions of the galaxy.

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 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.

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
