HERSCHEL SPECTROSCOPIC OBSERVATIONS OF Little Things DWARF GALAXIES
We present far-infrared spectral line observations of five galaxies from the Little Things sample: DDO 69, DDO 70, DDO 75, DDO 155, andWLM.While most studies of dwarfs focus on bright systems or starbursts due to observational constraints, our data extend the observed parameter space into the regime of low surface brightness dwarf galaxies with low metallicities and moderate star formation rate...
متن کاملGiant Halos in Dwarf Irregular Galaxies vs. Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies
We present a discovery of a giant stellar halo in NGC 6822, a dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group. This halo is mostly made of old red giants, showing striking features: 1) it is several times larger than the main body of the galaxy seen in the optical images, and 2) it is elongated in the direction almost perpendicular to the HI disk of NGC 6822. The structure of this stellar halo looks ...
متن کاملDwarf Irregular Galaxies ? Liese
New observations of 16 dwarf elliptical galaxies in the Virgo Cluster indicate that at least seven dEs have significant velocity gradients along their optical major axis, with typical rotation amplitudes of 20-30 km s. Of the remaining nine galaxies in this sample, 6 have velocity gradients less than 20 km skpc while the other 3 observations had too low of a signal–to–noise ratio to determine a...
متن کاملThe Outer Edges of Dwarf Irregular Galaxies : Stars and Gas
The outer edges of dwarf irregular galaxies have been an area of interest for about 40 years. Its origin can be traced back at least to Sandage’s (1962) discussion of the outer parts of IC 1613, which, on Baade’s deep red photographic plates, showed an envelope of faint red stars that extended outwards significantly beyond the main parts of the galaxy. Scattered reports of the properties of oth...
متن کاملDwarf Irregular Galaxies and the Intergalactic Medium
Dwarf galaxies (DGs) are more numerous than large galaxies. Most dwarfs in clusters are dEs, but in the field they belong mostly to late types. The importance of late-type DGs in the context of the intergalactic medium (IGM) lies in the fact that (at least some) are probably " young " galaxies forming stars for the first time. Many DGs have significant amounts of interstellar gas, they may form...
