Dwarf irregular galaxies with extended HI gas disks: Suppression of small-scale spiral structure by dark matter halo

open access: yes, 2018
Dwarf irregular galaxies with extended HI disk distributions, such as DDO 154, allow measurement of rotation curves, hence deduction of dark matter halo properties to large radial distances, up to several times the optical radius.

The JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science Program. VIII. The Spatially Resolved Star Formation History of WLM

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Radial stellar population gradients within dwarf galaxies provide a promising avenue for disentangling the drivers of galaxy evolution, including environment. Within the Local Volume, radial stellar age gradient slopes correlate with interaction history,

Duration and properties of the embedded phase of star formation in 37 nearby galaxies from PHANGS-JWST

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Light reprocessed by dust grains emitting in the infrared enables the study of the physics at play in dusty embedded regions, where ultraviolet and optical wavelengths are attenuated.

The Local Ultraviolet to Infrared Treasury. I. Survey Overview of the Broadband Imaging

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The Local Ultraviolet to Infrared Treasury (LUVIT) is a Hubble Space Telescope program that combines newly acquired data in the near-ultraviolet (NUV), optical, and near-infrared (NIR) with archival optical and NIR imaging to produce multiband ...

Discovery of Metal-poor and Distant Pre–Main Sequence Candidates in WLM with JWST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present the discovery of 12 metal-poor and ​​​distant pre–main sequence (PMS) candidates in the dwarf irregular galaxy Wolf–Lundmark–Melotte ∼968 kpc away, at a present-day metallicity of [Fe/H] ∼ –0.9.

Euclid: Early Release Observations – The star cluster systems of the Local Group dwarf galaxies IC 10 and NGC 6822★

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Star clusters are valuable indicators of galaxy evolution, offering insights into the buildup of stellar populations across cosmic time. Understanding the intrinsic star cluster populations of dwarf galaxies is particularly important given these systems’

Extended Schmidt law holds for faint dwarf irregular galaxies

open access: yes, 2017
Context. The extended Schmidt law (ESL) is a variant of the Schmidt which relates the surface densities of gas and star formation, with the surface density of stellar mass added as an extra parameter.

The Local Ultraviolet to Infrared Treasury. II. Refining Star Formation Histories of 10 Metal-poor Dwarf Galaxies with Simultaneous UV-optical Two-CMD Fitting

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present the star formation histories (SFHs) of 10 metal-poor (≲12% Z _⊙ ), star-forming dwarf galaxies from the Local Ultraviolet to Infrared Treasury survey.
