Lopsidedness in dwarf irregular galaxies [PDF]

open access: bronzeMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2000
We quantify the amplitude of the lopsidedness, the azimuthal angular asymmetry index, and the concentration of star forming regions, as represented by the distribution of the H$\alpha$ emission, in a sample of 78 late-type irregular galaxies.

Oxygen abundances in dwarf irregular galaxies and the metallicity - luminosity relationship [PDF]

open access: green, 2001
The low-luminosity dwarf irregular galaxies are considered. The oxygen abundances in HII regions of dwarf irregular galaxies were recalculated from published spectra through the recently suggested P - method. It has been found that the metallicity of low-

The Westerbork HI survey of spiral and irregular galaxies - I. HI imaging of late-type dwarf galaxies [PDF]

open access: bronze, 2002
Neutral hydrogen observations with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope are presented for a sample of 73 late-type dwarf galaxies. These observations are part of the WHISP project (Westerbork HI Survey of Spiral and Irregular Galaxies).

Dwarfs from the Dark (Energy Survey): a machine learning approach to classify dwarf galaxies from multi-band images

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics, 2021
Countless low-surface brightness objects - including spiral galaxies, dwarf galaxies, and noise patterns - have been detected in recent large surveys.

A Comparison between the Morphologies and Structures of Dwarf Galaxies with and without Active Massive Black Holes

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We study the morphologies and structures of 57 dwarf galaxies that are representative of the general population of dwarf galaxies and compare their demographics to a sample of dwarf galaxies hosting optically selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs).

DDO68 C: The Actual Appearance of a Ghost Satellite Dwarf through Adaptive Optics at the Large Binocular Telescope

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Through adaptive optics (AO) imaging with the SOUL+LUCI instrument at the Large Binocular Telescope we were able to resolve, for the first time, individual stars in the gas-rich galaxy DDO68 C. This system was already suggested to be interacting with the

Nuclear Activity in the Low-metallicity Dwarf Galaxy SDSS J0944-0038 : A Glimpse into the Primordial Universe

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Local low-metallicity dwarf galaxies are relics of the early universe and are thought to hold clues into the origins of supermassive black holes. While recent studies are uncovering a growing population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in dwarf galaxies,

The Isaac Newton Telescope Monitoring project: Stellar population in the IC 10 dwarf irregular galaxy [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2019
We have conducted an optical monitoring survey of IC 10 dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group, using the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) with the wide-field camera (WFC), to identify the Asymptotic Giant Branch stars (AGBs).
