Breathing FIRE: how stellar feedback drives radial migration, rapid size fluctuations, and population gradients in low-mass galaxies

K El-Badry, A Wetzel, M Geha, PF Hopkins… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We examine the effects of stellar feedback and bursty star formation on low-mass galaxies

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 …

WEAK GALACTIC HALO–DWARF SPHEROIDAL CONNECTION FROM RR LYRAE STARS

G Fiorentino, G Bono, M Monelli… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We discuss the role that dwarf galaxies may have played in the formation of the Galactic
halo (Halo) using RR Lyrae stars (RRL) as tracers of their ancient stellar component. The …

Stellar metallicity gradients of Local Group dwarf galaxies

S Taibi, G Battaglia, R Leaman, A Brooks… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Aims. We explore correlations between the strength of metallicity gradients in Local Group
dwarf galaxies and their stellar mass, star formation history timescales, and environment …

Mergers and the outside-in formation of dwarf spheroidals

A Benítez-Llambay, JF Navarro… - Monthly Notices of …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
We use a cosmological simulation of the formation of the Local Group to explore the origin of
age and metallicity gradients in dwarf spheroidal galaxies. We find that a number of …

When the jeans do not fit: How stellar feedback drives stellar kinematics and complicates dynamical modeling in low-mass galaxies

K El-Badry, AR Wetzel, M Geha… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
In low-mass galaxies, stellar feedback can drive gas outflows that generate non-equilibrium
fluctuations in the gravitational potential. Using cosmological zoom-in baryonic simulations …

Prolate rotation and metallicity gradient in the transforming dwarf galaxy Phoenix

N Kacharov, G Battaglia, M Rejkuba… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Transition type dwarf galaxies are thought to be systems undergoing the process of
transformation from a star-forming into a passively evolving dwarf, which makes them …

The Tucana dwarf spheroidal galaxy: not such a massive failure after all

S Taibi, G Battaglia, M Rejkuba, R Leaman… - Astronomy & …, 2020 - aanda.org
Context. Isolated local group (LG) dwarf galaxies have evolved most or all of their life
unaffected by interactions with the large LG spirals and therefore offer the opportunity to …

The distribution of alpha elements in Andromeda dwarf galaxies

LC Vargas, MC Geha, EJ Tollerud - The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present alpha to iron abundance ratios for 226 individual red giant branch stars in nine
dwarf galaxies of the Andromeda (M31) satellite system. The abundances are measured …

Spatially resolved LMC star formation history–I. Outside in evolution of the outer LMC disc

I Meschin, C Gallart, A Aparicio… - Monthly Notices of …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
We study the evolution of three fields in the outer Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) disc (R gc=
3.5–6.2 kpc). Their star formation history indicates a stellar population gradient such that …
