Giant halos in dwarf irregular galaxies vs. dwarf elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2005 We present a discovery of a giant stellar halo in NGC 6822, a dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group. This halo is mostly made of old red giants, showing striking features: 1) it is several times larger than the main body of the galaxy seen in the optical images, and 2) it is elongated in the direction almost perpendicular to the HI disk of NGC 6822.

Lopsidedness in dwarf irregular galaxies [PDF]
Monthly 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$α$ emission, in a sample of 78 late-type irregular galaxies. We bin the observed galaxies in two groups representing blue compact galaxies (BCDs) and low surface brightness ...

A STAR FORMATION LAW FOR DWARF IRREGULAR GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 The radial profiles of gas, stars, and far ultraviolet radiation in 20 dwarf Irregular galaxies are converted to stability parameters and scale heights for a test of the importance of two-dimensional (2D) instabilities in promoting star formation. A detailed model of this instability involving gaseous and stellar fluids with self-consistent thicknesses

The Stellar Content of 10 Dwarf Irregular Galaxies [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 1998 We examine the stellar content of 10 dwarf irregular galaxies of which broad-band CCD photometry was published in Hopp & Schulte-Ladbeck (1995). We also present Halpha images for several of these galaxies. The galaxies in the sample are located outside of the Local Group.

The CO contents of dwarf irregular galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 1987 A search has been conducted for CO in 16 dwarf irregular galaxies selected to span a wide range of infrared luminosity and color. CO was detected in six dwarf galaxies spanning the entire range in optical color and IR luminosity. The dwarf galaxies extend by three orders of magnitude in luminosity the correlation between IR and CO luminosities found ...

Stellar Populations of Dwarf Irregular Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1996 We recently completed two-color CCD photometry of resolved stars in 11 dwarf irregular galaxies (Hopp & Schulte-Ladbeck, 1995, A&AS 111, 527), selected because of their relative isolation from massive galaxies in the Kran-Korteweg – Tammann sample (1979, AN 300, 181).

Chemical and kinematical evolution in nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]
, 2006 Dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are the least massive and luminous objects known to exist. These galaxies are often considered as the fossil building blocks of massive systems predicted by some cosmological models.
