The 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...
متن کاملStar Formation Properties of a Large Sample of Irregular Galaxies
We present the results of Hα imaging of a large sample of irregular galaxies. Our sample includes 94 galaxies with morphological classifications of Im, 26 Blue Compact Dwarfs (BCDs), and 20 Sm systems. The sample spans a large range in galactic parameters including integrated absolute magnitude (MV of −9 to −19), average surface brightness (20 to 27 mag/arcsec), current star formation activity ...
متن کاملDwarf Galaxies: Important Clues to Galaxy Formation
The smallest dwarf galaxies are the most straight forward objects in which to study star formation processes on a galactic scale. They are typically single cell star forming entities, and as small potentials in orbit around a much larger one they are unlikely to accrete much (if any) extraneous matter during their lifetime (either intergalactic gas, or galaxies) because they will typically lose...
متن کاملThe properties of satellite galaxies in simulations of galaxy formation
We investigate the properties of satellite galaxies in cosmologicalN -body/SPH simulations of galaxy formation in Milky Way-sized haloes. Because of their shallow potential wells, satellite galaxies are very sensitive to heating processes which affect their gas content. Their properties can therefore be used to constrain the nature of feedback processes that regulate galaxy formation. In our si...
متن کاملHigh-redshift Galaxy Outflows and the Formation of Dwarf Galaxies
We examine the effects of galaxy outflows on the formation of dwarf galaxies in numerical simulations of the high-redshift Universe. Using a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic code, we conduct two detailed simulations of a (5.2 Mpc/h) comoving volume of the Universe. In both simulations we implement simple, well-motivated models of galaxy identification and star formation, while our second simulati...
