Dissipative phenomena in extended-bodies interactions I: Methods Dwarf galaxies of the Local Group and their synthetic CMDs [PDF]
Dissipative phenomena occurring during the orbital evolution of a dwarf satellite galaxy around a host galaxy may leave signatures in the star formation activity and signatures in the colour magnitude diagram of the galaxy stellar content. Our goal is to

Astrophysical site(s) of r-process elements in galactic chemodynamical evolution model
Astrophysical site(s) of rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) is (are) not identified yet. Although core-collapse supernovae have been regarded as one of the possible candidates of the astrophysical site of r-process, nucleosynthesis studies suggest

The Kinematics of the Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellites: Solving the Missing Satellite Problem [PDF]
We present Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy of stars in 8 of the newly discovered ultra-faint dwarf galaxies around the Milky Way. We measure the velocity dispersions of Canes Venatici I and II, Ursa Major I and II, Coma Berenices, Hercules, Leo IV and Leo T ...

The M101 group complex: new dwarf galaxy candidates and spatial structure [PDF]
The fine details of the large-scale structure in the local universe provide important empirical benchmarks for testing cosmological models of structure formation. Dwarf galaxies are key object for such studies.

Dynamical friction in dwarf galaxies [PDF]
We present a simplified analytic approach to the problem of the spiraling of a massive body orbiting within the dark halo of a dwarf galaxy. This dark halo is treated as the core region of a King distribution of dark matter particles, in consistency with

3-3-1 Self interacting dark matter and the galaxy core-cusp problem [PDF]
The core-cusp problem remains as a challenging discrepancy between observations and simulations in the standard $\Lambda$CDM model for the formation of galaxies.

Can Photoionization Squelching Resolve the Sub-structure Crisis? [PDF]
Cold Dark Matter theory predicts that the Local Group should contain many more dwarf-sized objects than the observed number of dwarf galaxies --- the so-called sub-structure problem. We investigate whether the suppression of star formation in these small objects due to the presence of a photoionizing background can resolve the problem.

Feedback by Massive Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]
Could there be intermediate mass black holes in essentially all old dwarf galaxies? I argue that current observations of Active Galactic Nuclei in dwarfs allow such a radical hypothesis which provides early feedback and potentially provides a unifying explanation for many if not all of the apparent dwarf galaxy anomalies, such as the abundance, core ...

The isolated elliptical (IE) NGC 7796 is accompanied by an interesting early-type dwarf galaxy, named NGC7796-DW1. It exhibits a tidal tail, very boxy isophotes, and multiple nuclei or regions (A, B, and C) that are bluer than the bulk population of the ...

Chemical Abundance Constraints on White Dwarfs as Halo Dark Matter [PDF]
We examine the chemical abundance constraints on a population of white dwarfs in the Halo of our Galaxy. We are motivated by microlensing evidence for massive compact halo objects (Machos) in the Galactic Halo, but our work constrains white dwarfs in the
