Starbursts, Dark Matter And Dwarf Galaxy Evolution
Optical and H i imaging of both dwarf irregular (dI) and Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxies reveal important clues on how dwarf galaxies evolve and their star formation is regulated. Both usually show evidence for stellar and gaseous disks. However, their total mass is dominated by dark matter. Gas rich dwarfs form with a range of disk structural properties. These have been arbitrarily separated...
متن کاملDark Matter in Dwarf Galaxies: The First Dark Galaxy?
We present new H i observations of the high-velocity cloud (HVC) that we resolved near the Local Group dwarf galaxy LGS 3. The cloud is rotating, with an implied mass that makes it dark matter-dominated no matter what its distance from the Milky Way is. Our new, high-sensitivity Arecibo observations demonstrate that the faint H i features that we previously described as tidal tails are indeed r...
متن کاملH i and dark matter in the windy starburst dwarf galaxy NGC 1705
We present 21cm H i line observations of the blue compact dwarf galaxy NGC 1705. Previous optical observations show a strong outflow powered by an ongoing starburst dominating the H ii morphology and kinematics. In contrast, most of the H i lies in a rotating disk. An extraplanar H i spur accounts for ∼ 8% of the total H i mass, and is possibly associated with the H ii outflow. The inferred mas...
متن کاملDecaying dark matter in the Draco dwarf galaxy
Context. The sterile neutrino is an excellent dark matter candidate, which can be searched for in a wide range of astrophysical sites. It has previously been shown that the optimal search strategy is to consider dwarf galaxies belonging to the Milky Way. Aims. We search for line emission from decaying dark matter. Methods. We analyse publicly available Chandra X-ray observations of the dwarf ga...
متن کاملVelocity dispersions of dwarf spheroidal galaxies: dark matter versus MOND
We present predictions for the line-of-sight velocity dispersion profiles of dwarf spheroidal galaxies and compare them to observations in the case of the Fornax dwarf. The predictions are made in the framework of standard dynamical theory of spherical systems with different velocity distributions. The stars are assumed to be distributed according to Sérsic laws with parameters fitted to observ...
