The Formation of Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxies
Recent spectroscopic observations of galaxies in the Fornax-Cluster reveal nearly unresolved ‘star-like’ objects with red-shifts appropriate to the Fornax-Cluster. These objects have intrinsic sizes of ≈ 100 pc and absolute B-band magnitudes in the range −14 < MB < −11.5 mag and lower limits for the central surface brightness μB ∼ 23 mag/arcsec 2 (Phillipps et al. 2001), and so appear to consti...

متن کاملStar Formation History of Dwarf Galaxies in Cosmological Hydrodynamic Simulations
We examine the past and current work on the star formation (SF) histories of dwarf galaxies in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. The results obtained from different numerical methods are still somewhat mixed, but the differences are understandable if we consider the numerical and resolution effects. It remains a challenge to simulate the episodic nature of SF history in dwarf galaxies at l...
متن کاملGalaxy threshing and the formation of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies
Recent spectroscopic and morphological observational studies of galaxies around NGC 1399 in the Fornax Cluster (Drinkwater et al. 2000b) have discovered several ‘ultra-compact dwarf’ galaxies with intrinsic sizes of ∼ 100 pc and absolute B band magnitudes ranging from −13 to −11 mag. In order to elucidate the origin of these enigmatic objects, we perform numerical simulations on the dynamical e...
متن کاملThe Star Formation History of the Pegasus Dwarf Irregular Galaxy
The star formation history (SFH) of the Pegasus dIr, a likely Local Group member at 0.95 Mpc from the Milky Way, is investigated. We characterize the SFH by two basic functions: the star formation rate, ψ(t), and the chemical enrichment law, Z(t). It has been derived by comparing the color-magnitude diagram of the resolved stars in Pegasus, with a total of 189 model diagrams produced with diffe...
