Dwarf Irregular Galaxies

2004
Dwarf irregular galaxies at optical wavelengths are small, faint and appear to be unstructured and irregular in shape. They are typically gas-rich, metal-poor systems, with varying levels of STAR FORMATION occurring in a haphazard manner across the ...

Blue Compact Dwarfs: Extreme Dwarf Irregular Galaxies

1987
In Hubble’s classification scheme, dwarf irregular galaxies (dIs) are low luminosity systems (MB≳ -16) which are at the end of the galaxy morphological sequence and which lack both a dominating nucleus and rotational symmetry [1]. We concentrate here on a class of dIs which are so extreme in these properties that they appear almost stellar in ...

Dwarf Irregular Galaxies of the Local Group

2014
Local Group dwarf irregulars (dIrrs) cover an enormous range in star formation properties. Here I discuss these tiny galaxies as probes of star formation at the extremes of low gas densities and low metallicities. We have learned that (1) Star formation is inefficient in dIrrs and yet at very low \(\Sigma_{\rm HI}\) (\(
