The 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,

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).

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

The Interstellar Medium of Dwarf Galaxies
Galaxies, 2022 Dwarf galaxies are by far the most numerous galaxies in the Universe, showing properties that are quite different from those of their larger and more luminous cousins. This review focuses on the physical and chemical properties of the interstellar medium

Merger Induced Globular Cluster Formation and Galaxy Evolution [PDF]
, 2008 Based on the earlier work of Gunn and McCrea we model the formation of globular clusters in merging galaxies. Neutral hydrogen observations of dwarf irregular galaxies as well as more luminous systems are used to provide the key parameters of the model ...

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.

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 Resilience of Habitable Climates Around Circumbinary Stars
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 125, Issue 9, September 2020., 2020 Abstract Here we use a 3‐D climate system model to study the habitability of Earth‐like planets orbiting in circumbinary systems. In the most extreme cases, Earth‐like planets in circumbinary systems could experience variations in the incident stellar flux of up to ~50% on ~100‐day timescales.
