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

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 Astronomical Journal, 2023 The Star Formation Across Cosmic Time (SFACT) survey is a new narrowband survey designed to detect emission-line galaxies (ELGs) and quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) over a wide range of redshifts in discrete redshift windows.

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

Delayed Massive-star Mechanical Feedback at Low Metallicity
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The classical model of massive-star mechanical feedback is based on effects at solar metallicity ( Z _⊙ ), yet feedback parameters are very different at low metallicity.

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 ...

Redshift, metallicity and size of two extended dwarf Irregular galaxies. A link between dwarf Irregulars and ultra diffuse galaxies? [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 We present the results of the spectroscopic and photometric follow-up of two field galaxies that were selected as possible stellar counterparts of local high velocity clouds. Our analysis shows that the two systems are distant (D>20 Mpc) dwarf irregular galaxies unrelated to the local HI clouds.

Star Formation in Sculptor Group Dwarf Irregular Galaxies and the Nature of "Transition" Galaxies [PDF]
, 2002 We present new H-alpha narrow band imaging of the HII regions in eight Sculptor Group dwarf irregular (dI) galaxies. Comparing the Sculptor Group dIs to the Local Group dIs, we find that the Sculptor Group dIs have, on average, lower values of SFR when ...
