A JWST/MIRI and NIRCam Analysis of the Young Stellar Object Population in the Spitzer I Region of NGC 6822

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present an imaging survey of the Spitzer I star-forming region in NGC 6822 conducted with the NIRCam and MIRI instruments on board JWST. Located at a distance of 490 kpc, NGC 6822 is the nearest non-interacting low-metallicity (∼0.2 Z _⊙ ) dwarf ...

BVR photometry of the resolved dwarf galaxy Ho IX

open access: yes, 2004
We present BVR CCD photometry down to limiting magnitude B=23.5 mag for 232 starlike objects and 11 diffuse objects in a 5.4' x 5.4' field of Ho IX. The galaxy is a gas-rich irregular dwarf galaxy possibly very close to M 81, which makes it especially ...

A GALEX Ultraviolet Imaging Survey of Galaxies in the Local Volume [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present results from a GALEX ultraviolet (UV) survey of a complete sample of 390 galaxies within ~11 Mpc of the Milky Way. The UV data are a key component of the composite Local Volume Legacy (LVL), an ultraviolet-to-infrared imaging program designed ...

The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array Local Group L-Band Survey (LGLBS)

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We present the Local Group L -Band Survey, a Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) survey producing the highest-quality 21 cm and 1–2 GHz radio continuum images to date, for the six VLA-accessible, star-forming, Local Group galaxies. Leveraging the VLA’s

Oxygen abundances in nearby dwarf irregular galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1989
Oxygen abundances are obtained by optical spectrophotometry of H II regions in seven nearby dwarf irregular galaxies. All of these yield oxygen abundances of less than 1/10 of the solar value, and most are in the range of 3-5 percent of the solar value. This suggests that observations of nearby dwarf galaxies may provide an effective means for studying

What is the (Dark) Matter with Dwarf Galaxies?

open access: yes, 2010
We present cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of the formation of dwarf galaxies in a representative sample of haloes extracted from the Millennium-II Simulation.

The Interstellar Medium in I Zw 18 Seen with JWST/MIRI. II. Warm Molecular Hydrogen and Warm Dust

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present JWST/MIRI spectra from the Medium-resolution Spectrometer of I Zw 18, a nearby dwarf galaxy with a metallicity of ∼3% Solar. Here, we investigate warm molecular hydrogen, H _2 , observed in spectra extracted in ∼120 pc apertures centered on ...

Thick gas discs in faint dwarf galaxies

open access: yes, 2010
We determine the intrinsic axial ratio distribution of the 'gas' disks of extremely faint M_B > -14.5 dwarf irregular galaxies. We start with the measured (beam corrected) distribution of apparent axial ratios in the HI 21cm images of dwarf irregular ...

The Interstellar Medium in I Zw 18 Seen with JWST/MIRI. I. Highly Ionized Gas

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present JWST/MIRI spectra from the Medium-Resolution Spectrometer of I Zw 18, a nearby dwarf galaxy with a metallicity of ∼3% solar. Its proximity enables a detailed study of highly ionized gas that can be interpreted in the context of newly ...
