Dwarf Irregular Galaxies

2004
Dwarf irregular galaxies at optical wavelengths are small, faint and appear to be unstructured and irregular in shape. They are typically gas-rich, metal-poor systems, with varying levels of STAR FORMATION occurring in a haphazard manner across the ...

Abundances in dwarf irregular galaxies

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1986
The results of abundance studies of dwarf irregular galaxies and similar objects are reviewed with special attention to variations in the CNO element group. Observations of the forbidden N II and semiforbidden C III lines in the most metal-poor galaxy known, IZw 18, are presented for the first time and CNO abundances are derived via a photoionization ...

Chemical Evolution of Irregular Galaxies

2011
In this chapter, we describe the properties of irregular galaxies and the proposed chemical evolution models. Irregular galaxies are generally small and rather simple objects with low metallicity and large gas content, suggesting that they are either young objects or have undergone discontinuous star formation activity (bursts) or a continuous but not ...
