DWARF GALAXIES OF THE LOCAL GROUP [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1998 ▪ Abstract The Local Group dwarf galaxies offer a unique window to the detailed properties of the most common type of galaxy in the Universe. In this review, I update the census of Local Group dwarfs based on the most recent distance and radial velocity determinations.

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1998 We review the observational evidences for tidal dwarf galaxies, a class of small galaxies formed out of the tidal debris of collisions between massive galaxies. Tidal dwarfs are found far from the interacting parent galaxies, associated with massive clouds of atomic hydrogen located at the tip of long tidal tails.

Dwarf elliptical galaxies as ancient tidal dwarf galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013 The formation of tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) is triggered by the encounters of already existing galaxies. Their existence is predicted from numerical calculations of encountering galaxies and is also well documented with observations. The numerical calculations on the formation of TDGs furthermore predict that TDGs cannot contain significant amounts of

An Overview of the Dwarf Galaxy Survey [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2013 The Dwarf Galaxy Survey (DGS) program is studying low-metallicity galaxies using 230h of far-infrared (FIR) and submillimetre (submm) photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Herschel Space Observatory and draws to this a rich database of a wide range of wavelengths tracing the dust, gas and stars.

The formation of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies and nucleated dwarf galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2008 Ultra compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) have similar properties as massive globular clusters or the nuclei of nucleated galaxies. Recent observations suggesting a high dark matter content and a steep spatial distribution within groups and clusters provide new clues as to their origins.

The Pristine dwarf galaxy survey–V. The edges of the dwarf galaxy Hercules
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT We present a new spectroscopic study of 175 stars in the vicinity of the dwarf galaxy Hercules (d ∼ 132 kpc) with data from the Anglo-Australian Telescope and its AAOmega spectrograph together with the Two Degree Field multi-object system to solve the conundrum that whether Hercules is tidally disrupting.

DWARF GALAXIES AND THE COSMIC WEB [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 We use a cosmological simulation of the formation of the Local Group of Galaxies to identify a mechanism that enables the removal of baryons from low-mass halos without appealing to feedback or reionization. As the Local Group forms, matter bound to it develops a network of filaments and pancakes.
