What Does the Milky Way Look Like?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In spite of much work, the overall spiral structure morphology of the Milky Way remains somewhat uncertain. In the last two decades, accurate distance measurements have provided us with an opportunity to solve this issue.

THE ROLE OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD IN THE INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM OF THE POST-STARBURST DWARF IRREGULAR GALAXY NGC 1569 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
NGC 1569 is a nearby dwarf irregular galaxy which underwent an intense burst of star formation 10–40 Myr ago. We present observations that reach surface brightnesses 2–80 times fainter than previous radio continuum observations and the first radio ...

Cosmic-ray driven dynamo in the medium of irregular galaxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We investigate the cosmic ray driven dynamo in the interstellar medium of irregular galaxy. The observations (Chyzy et al. 2000, 2003) show that the magnetic field in irregular galaxies is present and its value reaches the same level as in spiral ...

Witnessing a Transformation to Blue-cored Dwarf Early-type Galaxies in Filaments and the Cluster Outskirts: Gas-phase Abundances and Internal Kinematics Perspectives

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The presence of transitional dwarf galaxies in filaments and cluster outskirts may be closely related to preprocessing in the filament; however, the underlying mechanism is not yet comprehensively understood.

THE ACS LCID PROJECT. II. FAINT VARIABLE STARS IN THE ISOLATED DWARF IRREGULAR GALAXY IC 1613 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present the results of a new search for variable stars in the Local Group (LG) isolated dwarf galaxy IC 1613, based on 24 orbits of F475W and F814W photometry from the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope.

Global properties of irregular galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 1982
We present optical and radio observations of global properties for a sample of noninteracting irregular galaxies and a few comparison objects. Program galaxies were chosen primarily on the basis of their blue colors and thus may be expected to represent systems with high rates of star formation.

Deep CO Observations and the CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor in DDO 154, a Low Metallicity Dwarf Irregular Galaxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present a deep spectroscopic search for CO emission in the dwarf irregular galaxy DDO 154, which has an Oxygen abundance of only 1=20 of the solar value.

A Survey of Galaxy Pairs in the SDSS Photometric Images based on Faster-RCNN

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Galaxy pairs hold significant importance in understanding the evolution of galaxies, and the extensive search for a large sample of galaxy pairs is meaningful.

Chemical behavior of the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC6822. Its PN and HII region abundances [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Aims. We aim to derive the chemical behavior of a significant sample of PNe and HII regions in the irregular galaxy NGC 6822. The selected objects are distributed in different zones of the galaxy.

Nitrogen in irregular galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1990
A study of nitrogen in giant H II regions located within low-abundance irregular galaxies is presented. Both observations and theoretical models are used to examine variations in the abundance of nitrogen relative to oxygen in these galaxies. Analysis of these and previously published observations suggests that the use of low spectral resolution is the
