Do Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies Contain Dark Matter? [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1997 The amount of dark matter in the four galactic dwarf spheroidals with large mass-to-light ratios is investigated. Sextans has a cut-off radius which is equal to the expected tidal radius, assuming a high mass-to-light ratio. This satellite very likely is dark matter dominated. Carina, Ursa Minor and Draco, on the other hand, cannot contain a dominating

UGC 7639: A Dwarf Galaxy in the Canes Venatici I Cloud
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 We want to get insight into the formation mechanism and the evolution of UGC 7639, a dwarf galaxy in the Canes Venatici I Cloud (CVnIC). We used archival multiwavelength data to constrain its global properties. Ultraviolet images show that UGC 7639 inner regions are composed mostly by young stellar populations.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Elucidating dark matter density profiles in Galactic dwarf satellites is essential to understanding not only the quintessence of dark matter, but also the evolution of the satellites themselves.

Sagittarius: The Nearest Dwarf Galaxy [PDF]
, 1995 We have discovered a new Galactic satellite galaxy in the constellation of Sagittarius. The Sagittarius dwarf galaxy is the nearest galaxy known, subtends an angle of $> 10$ degrees on the sky, lies at a distance of $24 \kpc$ from the Sun, $\sim 16 \kpc$

The Progenitors of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2003 Dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies present an evolutionary puzzle that we explore in 40 early- and late-type dwarfs in the Local Group and nearby field. Although dSphs formed stars over extended periods, today all but one are free of detectable interstellar matter (ISM), even in the Fornax dSph, where stars still formed 100 Myr ago.

Chemical and Photometric Evolution Models for Disk, Irregular, and Low Mass Galaxies
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 We summarize the updated set of multiphase chemical evolution models performed with 44 theoretical radial mass initial distributions and 10 possible values of efficiencies to form molecular clouds and stars. We present the results about the infall rate histories, the formation of the disk, and the evolution of the radial distributions of diffuse and ...

A Chemical Evolution Model for the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016 Fornax is the brightest Milky Way (MW) dwarf spheroidal galaxy and its star formation history (SFH) has been derived from observations. We estimate the time evolution of its gas mass and net inflow and outflow rates from the SFH usinga simple star ...

Chemodynamical Simulations of Dwarf Galaxy Evolution
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 In this review I give a summary of the state of the art for what concerns the chemo‐dynamical numerical modelling of galaxies in general and of dwarf galaxies in particular. In particular, I focus my attention on (i) initial conditions, (ii) the equations to solve; (iii) the star formation process in galaxies, (iv) the initial mass function, (v) the ...

Search for Ultraheavy Dark Matter from Observations of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies with VERITAS
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dark matter is a key piece of the current cosmological scenario, with weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) a leading dark matter candidate. WIMPs have not been detected in their conventional parameter space (100 GeV ≲ M _χ ≲ 100 TeV), a mass ...
