Catalog of ultra-diffuse galaxies in the Coma clusters from Subaru imaging data
M Yagi, J Koda, Y Komiyama… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a catalog of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the Coma cluster. UDGs are a
subset of low surface brightness (SB) galaxies with very large effective radii defined by van …

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 …

The predicted luminous satellite populations around SMC-and LMC-mass galaxies–a missing satellite problem around the LMC?
Recent discovery of many dwarf satellite galaxies in the direction of the Small and Large
Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC) provokes questions of their origins, and what they can …

Local Volume TiNy Titans: gaseous dwarf–dwarf interactions in the Local Universe
In this paper, we introduce the Local Volume TiNy Titans sample (LV-TNT), which is a part of
a larger body of work on interacting dwarf galaxies: TNT. This LV-TNT sample consists of 10 …

A catalog of merging dwarf galaxies in the local universe
We present the largest publicly available catalog of interacting dwarf galaxies. It includes
177 nearby merging dwarf galaxies of stellar mass M*< 10 10 M⊙ and redshifts z< 0.02 …

The remnant of a merger between two dwarf galaxies in Andromeda II
Driven by gravity, massive structures like galaxies and clusters of galaxies are believed to
grow continuously through hierarchical merging and accretion of smaller systems …

Evidence for ultra-diffuse galaxy “formation” through galaxy interactions
P Bennet, DJ Sand, D Zaritsky… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the discovery of two ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) that show clear evidence of an
association with tidal material and an interaction with a larger galaxy halo, found during a …

The masses of Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies: The death of the universal mass profile
MLM Collins, SC Chapman, RM Rich… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the claim that all dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) reside within halos that
share a common, universal mass profile as has been derived for dSphs of the galaxy. By …
