The dynamical and chemical evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]
Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2009 We present a large sample of fully self-consistent hydrodynamical Nbody/Tree-SPH simulations of isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). It has enabled us to identify the key physical parameters and mechanisms at the origin of the observed variety in ...

Tidal Dwarf Galaxies and Missing Baryons [PDF]
Advances in Astronomy, 2010 Tidal dwarf galaxies form during the interaction, collision, or merger of massive spiral galaxies. They can resemble “normal” dwarf galaxies in terms of mass, size, and become dwarf satellites orbiting around their massive progenitor.

Supernova-driven outflows and chemical evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2012 We present a general phenomenological model for the metallicity distribution (MD) in terms of [Fe/H] for dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). These galaxies appear to have stopped accreting gas from the intergalactic medium and are fossilized systems with ...

The Effect of Tidal Stripping on Composite Stellar Populations in Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]
Advances in Astronomy, 2010 We use N-body simulations to study the effects of tides on the kinematical structure of satellite galaxies orbiting a Milky Way-like potential. Here we focus on the evolution of a spherical, dark matter dominated satellite, which is modelled with two ...

Dependence of stellar substructures in M31 type galaxy on satellite morphology in galaxy mergers [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2022 Stellar streams and shells are observed in halos of spiral galaxies. In this paper, we investigated the formation of these structures due to mergers between the host spiral galaxy and its dwarf satellite galaxies.

Searching for TeV Dark Matter in Irregular Dwarf Galaxies with HAWC Observatory
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the results of dark matter (DM) searches in a sample of 31 dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxies within the field of view of the HAWC Observatory.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dwarf galaxies located in extremely underdense cosmic voids are excellent test beds for disentangling the effects of large-scale environments on galaxy formation and evolution. We present the first results of the Dwarfs in Void Environments Survey, which

The Cusp–Core Problem in Gas-Poor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
Galaxies, 2021 This review deals with the inconsistency of inner dark matter density profiles in dwarf galaxies, known as the cusp–core problem. In particular, we aim to focus on gas-poor dwarf galaxies.

Abundance ratios of red giants in low mass ultra faint dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]
, 2015 Low mass dwarf spheroidal galaxies are key objects for our understanding of the chemical evolution of the pristine Universe and the Local Group of galaxies.

Dark satellites and the morphology of dwarf galaxies [PDF]
, 2012 One of the strongest predictions of the LambdaCDM cosmological model is the presence of dark satellites orbiting all types of galaxies. We focus here on the dynamical effects of such satellites on disky dwarf galaxies, and demonstrate that these ...
