Catching Tidal Dwarf Galaxies at a Later Evolutionary Stage with ALFALFA
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present deep optical imaging and photometry of four objects classified as “Almost-Dark” galaxies in the Arecibo Legacy Fast Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFALFA) survey because of their gas-rich nature and extremely faint or missing optical emission in ...

Supernova Remnants in the Irregular Galaxy NGC 4449
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The nearby irregular galaxy NGC 4449 has a star formation rate of ∼0.4 M _☉ yr ^−1 and should host of order 70 supernova remnants (SNRs) younger than 20,000 yr, a typical age for SNRs expanding into an interstellar medium (ISM) with a density of 1 cm ^−3

Optical observations of the nearby galaxy NGC 2366 through narrowband Hα and [SII] filters. Supernova remnants status [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2019 We present detection of 64 H II regions, three superbubbles and two optical supernova remnant (SNR) candidates in the nearby irregular galaxy NGC 2366. The SNR candidates were detected by applying [S II]/Hα ratio criterion to observations made with the 2-

Near-IR TRGB Distance Modulus of Dwarf Irregular Galaxy IC 1613 [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2009 The JHKs magnitudes of the red giant branch tip (TRGB) and the distance moduli of the nearby dwarf irregular galaxy IC 1613 have been determined from the nearinfrared luminosity functions (LFs) of the resolved stars in the galaxy.

Near-IR TRGB Distance to Nearby Dwarf Irregular Galaxy NGC 6822 [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2008 We report the distance modulus of nearby dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 estimated from the so-called Tip of Red-giant Branch (TRGB) method. To detect the apparent magnitudes of the TRGB we use the color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and luminosity functions

Outlier Detection in the DESI Bright Galaxy Survey
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We present an unsupervised search for outliers in the Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS) data set from the DESI Early Data Release. This analysis utilizes an autoencoder to compress galaxy spectra into a compact, redshift-invariant latent space, and a ...

Searches for Extremely Metal-poor Galaxies Using Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA–Selected Dwarf Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a study of nearby dwarf galaxies selected from the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) blind H i survey. A primary goal of the project was to utilize a nonstandard selection method with the hope of detecting previously unrecognized extremely ...

Disk Galaxies Are Self-similar: The Universality of the H i-to-Halo Mass Ratio for Isolated Disks
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Observed scaling relations in galaxies between baryons and dark matter global properties are key to shed light on the process of galaxy formation and on the nature of dark matter.

Pavo: Discovery of a Star-forming Dwarf Galaxy Just Outside the Local Group
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We report the discovery of Pavo, a faint ( M _V = −10.0), star-forming, irregular, and extremely isolated dwarf galaxy at D ≈ 2 Mpc. Pavo was identified in Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey imaging via a novel approach that combines low surface brightness
