Ultra-compact dwarf galaxy formation by tidal stripping of nucleated dwarf galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2013
Ultra Compact Dwarf Galaxies (UCDs) and dwarf galaxy nuclei have many common properties, such as internal velocity dispersions and colour-magnitude trends, suggesting tidally stripped dwarf galaxies as a possible UCD origin. However, UCDs typically have sizes more than twice as large as nuclei at the same luminosity. We use a GPU-enabled version of the

The Chemical Evolution of Dwarf Galaxies

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2001
Various observations of dwarf starburst galaxies have revealed homogeneous abundance within the ionized region suggesting that the measured metallicities do not result from the metals ejected during the current burst (because they should not have time to mix homogeneously at such large scale) but from previous star formation episodes.

Dwarf Galaxies and the Dark Web

Scientific American, 2014
The article discusses the planar alignment of satellite galaxies orbiting galaxies like the Milky Way unpredicted by cosmological theory, focusing on the research of the author and others that theorizes a web of dark matter explains the arrangement. Topics include an overview of dark matter theory, computer simulations of the universe, and the opposing

Simulations of Dwarf Galaxy Formation

2011
Dwarf galaxies are related to important cosmological questions, and central to our understanding of the physics of galaxy formation. In this thesis, I present the results of cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations of the formation and evolution of dwarf galaxies.
