Starburst dwarfs - fueling and morphological evolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of mergers in low mass galaxies are poorly understood. In this paper we analyze different observational evidences which support the view that mergers can trigger starbursts in dwarf galaxies. We discuss the relationships between blue compact galaxies (BCGs), dIs, dEs and low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) and present some evidences which favour that strong starbursts are caused by mergers between dEs and LSBGs.

Does the Radiative Avalanche Fueling Work in Any Active Galactic Nuclei ?
Recently Umemura, Fukue, & Mineshige (1997) proposed the radiative avalanche fueling to active galactic nuclei; gas accretion is driven by radiation drag exerted by stellar radiation from circumnuclear starburst regions. This mechanism is also interesting in terms of starburst-AGN connections. We therefore present observational tests for the radiative avalanche fueling. Our tests, however, show...
متن کاملStudying distant dwarf galaxies with GEMS and SDSS
We study the colors, structural properties, and star formation histories of a sample of ∼ 1600 dwarfs over look-back times of ∼ 3 Gyr (z = 0.002−0.25). The sample consists of 401 distant dwarfs drawn from the Galaxy Evolution from Morphologies and SEDs (GEMS) survey, which provides high resolution Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) images and accurate redshifts, and ...
متن کاملRadiation Pressure Supported Starburst Disks & Agn Fueling
We consider the structure of marginally Toomre-stable starburst disks under the assumption that radiation pressure on dust grains provides the dominant vertical support against gravity. This assumption is particularly appropriate when the disk is optically thick to its own infrared radiation, as in the central regions of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs). We argue that because the disk r...
متن کاملDynamical condition of neutral hydrogen envelopes of dwarf galaxies and their possible morphological evolution
We investigate the star-formation history of gas-rich dwarf galaxies, taking account of the dynamical evolution of their neutral hydrogen (Hi) envelope. Gas-rich dwarfs are classified into blue compact dwarfs (BCDs) and dwarf irregulars (dIrrs). In this paper, their Hi envelope is clearly shown not to be blown away by their stellar feedback. This is concluded since the observed starformation ra...
متن کاملFrom Gas to Starburst and AGN
Although it is clear that the circumnuclear regions of galaxies are intimately related to their host galaxies, most directly through their bars, it remains unclear what exactly initiates and fuels nuclear stellar (starburst) and non-stellar (AGN) activity. Deviations from axisymmetry in the gravitational potential of a galaxy, set up by a bar or an interaction, are known to cause gas inflow, an...
