Warm Dark Matter Sterile Neutrinos in Electron Capture and Beta Decay Spectra
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 We briefly review the motivation to search for sterile neutrinos in the keV mass scale, as dark matter candidates, and the prospects to find them in beta decay or electron capture spectra, with a global perspective. We describe the fundamentals of the neutrino flavor‐mass eigenstate mismatch that opens the possibility of detecting sterile neutrinos in ...

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.

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 ...

Resonant stripping as the origin of dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]
, 2009 Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are the most dark matter dominated systems in the nearby Universe and their origin is one of the outstanding puzzles of how galaxies form. Dwarf spheroidals are poor in gas and stars, making them unusually faint, and those known as ultra-faint dwarfs have by far the lowest measured stellar content of any galaxy.

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 ...

Blue straggler stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2007 Blue straggler star (BSS) candidates have been observed in all old dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs), however whether or not they are authentic BSSs or young stars has been a point of debate. To both address this issue and obtain a better understanding of the formation of BSSs in different environments we have analysed a sample of BSS candidates in two
