Ultradeep Imaging of Nearby Dwarf Irregular Galaxies: Stellar Haloes and Disk Structure

The Astronomical Journal
We have examined the stellar structure of 10 nearby, low stellar mass (10 ^6 –6 × 10 ^7 M _⊙ ) dwarf irregular galaxies by fitting ellipses as a function of surface brightness on ultradeep V images. These are compared to far-ultraviolet images as tracers

WLM: Dynamics of an isolated dwarf irregular galaxy under ram pressure in the Local Group

Astronomy & Astrophysics
The Wolf–Lundmark–Melotte (WLM) galaxy is an archetypal dwarf irregular galaxy that has not experienced interactions with major Local Group galaxies within the past 8 Gyr.

Molecular hydrogen in galaxies [PDF]

, 1987
This study aims to understand the key role played by molecular hydrogen in the evolution of galaxies, with a view to constraining its radial distribution in the Galaxy and the CO→H(_2) conversion factor α(_20).The star formation rate is shown to be ...

The Hubble Arp Galaxy Survey

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The typical galaxy in the local Universe is expected to be in a self-regulated quasi-equilibrium, displaying a settled morphology that falls within the Hubble sequence.

Strange and Odd Morphology Extragalactic Radio Sources (STROMERSs): A Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-Centimeters (FIRST) Look at the Strange and Odd Radio Sources

Universe
We report the identification of an extremely rare and peculiar set of irregular radio sources, termed “STROMERSs” (STRange and Odd Morphology Extragalactic Radio Sources).ingThe irregular radio sources with very anomalous morphologies that make them ...

The inclination of the dwarf irregular galaxy Holmberg II

, 2014
We provide constraints on the inclination angle of the H\,{\sc i} disk of the dwarf irregular galaxy Holmberg II (Ho II) from stability analysis of the outer gaseous disk. We point out that a mean inclination angle of 27 degrees and thus a flat circular velocity of ~60 km/s, is required to have a level of gravitational stability similar to that found ...

Pervasive Cavity-rim Structure for Star Formation in Dwarf Irregular Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
Unsharp-mask images of H I emission from 36 dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxies illustrate star formation in dispersed clouds and on the rims of large cavities. The cavities can extend for a radial scale length and typically have circular or slightly sheared
