Pushing back the limits: detailed properties of dwarf galaxies in a ΛCDM universe

Y Revaz, P Jablonka - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 - aanda.org
We present the results of a set of high-resolution chemo-dynamical simulations of dwarf
galaxies in a ΛCDM cosmology. Out of an original cosmological box, a sample of 27 systems …

G Martin, RA Jackson, S Kaviraj, H Choi… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT Dwarf galaxies (M⋆< 109 M⊙) are key drivers of mass assembly in high-mass
galaxies, but relatively little is understood about the assembly of dwarf galaxies themselves …

NIHAO–XIV. Reproducing the observed diversity of dwarf galaxy rotation curve shapes in ΛCDM

IM Santos-Santos, A Di Cintio, CB Brook… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
The significant diversity of rotation curve (RC) shapes in dwarf galaxies has recently

Satellite dwarf galaxies: stripped but not quenched

L Hausammann, Y Revaz, P Jablonka - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 - aanda.org
In the Local Group, quenched gas-poor dwarfs galaxies are most often found close to the
Milky Way and Andromeda, while star forming gas-rich ones are located at greater …

Central X-Ray Point Sources Found to Be Abundant in Low-mass, Late-type Galaxies Predicted to Contain an Intermediate-mass Black Hole

AW Graham, R Soria, BL Davis… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Building upon three late-type galaxies in the Virgo cluster with both a predicted black hole
mass of less than∼ 10 5 M⊙ and a centrally located X-ray point source, we reveal 11 more …

Implications for the origin of early-type dwarf galaxies–the discovery of rotation in isolated, low-mass early-type galaxies

J Janz, SJ Penny, AW Graham… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
We present the discovery of rotation in quenched, low-mass early-type galaxies that are
isolated. This finding challenges the claim that (all) rotating dwarf early-type galaxies in …
