The universal stellar mass–stellar metallicity relation for dwarf galaxies

EN Kirby, JG Cohen, P Guhathakurta… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We present spectroscopic metallicities of individual stars in seven gas-rich dwarf irregular

Dark matter cores all the way down

JI Read, O Agertz, MLM Collins - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
We use high-resolution simulations of isolated dwarf galaxies to study the physics of dark

Galaxy morphology

RJ Buta - arXiv preprint arXiv:1102.0550, 2011 - arxiv.org
Galaxy morphology is a product of how galaxies formed, how they interacted with their
environment, how they were influenced by internal perturbations, AGN, and dark matter, and …
