Feedback by Massive Black Holes in Gas-rich Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]
, 2017 Could there be intermediate-mass black holes in essentially all old dwarf galaxies? I argue that current observations of active galactic nuclei in dwarfs allow such a radical hypothesis that provides early feedback during the epoch of galaxy formation ...

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 9, November 2025.ABSTRACT We present James Webb Space Telescope observations of M 4—the closest globular cluster—that probe the lower Main Sequence down to the hydrogen‐burning limit. The unveiled stellar sequence reaches much fainter luminosities than previously possible, revealing a few extremely red objects that are consistent with brown dwarfs as cool as Teff∼1000K$

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.

HEAD IN THE STARS, FEET ON THE GROUND: Scale and Astronomy Initiatives in Southern Africa
Cultural Anthropology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 571-596, November 2025.ABSTRACT This article explores the evolution of radio astronomy in South Africa and Madagascar, focusing on how “scale” functions as both a way of understanding the world and marking differences in existence. In outer space research, the ground is crucial but often overlooked.

Stellar Abundances for Galactic Archaeology Database IV - Compilation of Stars in Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]
, 2017 We have constructed the database of stars in the local group using the extended version of the SAGA (Stellar Abundances for Galactic Archaeology) database that contains stars in 24 dwarf spheroidal galaxies and ultra faint dwarfs.

Tools for Learning—Promoting Reflection for Student Teachers' Development of PCK
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 62, Issue 8, Page 1902-1922, October 2025.ABSTRACT This paper investigates how the coherent integration of three different tools for reflection during a science methods course can contribute to student teachers' planning and enactment of science teaching, that is, their development of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK).

Ultradiffuse galaxies: the high-spin tail of the abundant dwarf galaxy population [PDF]
, 2016 Recent observations have revealed the existence of an abundant population of faint, low surface brightness (SB) galaxies, which appear to be numerous and ubiquitous in nearby galaxy clusters, including the Virgo, Coma and Fornax clusters.

The Disruption of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1995 Numerical simulations of dwarf spheroidal galaxies undergoing several close encounters with the Milky Way are described. By comparing our models to observed properties of the recently discovered dwarf galaxy in Sagittarius (Sgr), we discuss implications of our results for the formation and evolution of the Milky Way system.

The Effect of Seductive Details on Knowledge Retention in Physics Videos: A Mixed Methods Study
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 62, Issue 8, Page 1923-1940, October 2025.ABSTRACT Research reports that interesting but irrelevant information, seductive details, in teaching material can impede learning. In science education, the inclusion of historical narratives in lessons to promote interest has been recommended but may hinder learning.
