Dwarf Irregular Galaxies and the Intergalactic Medium
Dwarf galaxies (DGs) are more numerous than large galaxies. Most dwarfs in clusters are dEs, but in the field they belong mostly to late types. The importance of late-type DGs in the context of the intergalactic medium (IGM) lies in the fact that (at least some) are probably " young " galaxies forming stars for the first time. Many DGs have significant amounts of interstellar gas, they may form...
متن کاملInterstellar Medium Oxygen Abundances of Dwarf Irregular Galaxies in Centaurus A and Nearby Groups⋆
We present results of optical spectroscopy of 35 H II regions from eight dwarf galaxies in the Centaurus A group. [O III] λ4363 is detected in ESO272−G025 and ESO324−G024, and direct oxygen abundances of 12+log(O/H) = 7.76 ± 0.09 and 7.94±0.11 are derived, respectively. For the remaining galaxies, abundances are derived using common bright-line methods. To compare the influence of group environ...
متن کاملThe Violent Interstellar Medium of Nearby Dwarf Galaxies
High resolution H i observations of nearby dwarf galaxies (most of which are situated in the M81 group at a distance of about 3.2Mpc) reveal that their neutral interstellar medium (ISM) is dominated by hole–like features most of which are expanding. A comparison of the physical properties of these holes with the ones found in more massive spiral galaxies (such as M31 and M33) shows that they te...
متن کاملThree-dimensional simulations of the interstellar medium in dwarf galaxies - I. Ram pressure stripping
We present 3D hydrodynamic simulations of ram pressure stripping in dwarf galaxies. Analogous studies on this subject usually deal with much higher ram pressures, typical of galaxy clusters, or mild ram pressure due to the gas halo of the massive galactic companions. We extend over previous investigations by considering flattened, rotating dwarf galaxies subject to ram pressures typical of poor...
متن کاملDwarf Irregular Galaxies ? Liese
New observations of 16 dwarf elliptical galaxies in the Virgo Cluster indicate that at least seven dEs have significant velocity gradients along their optical major axis, with typical rotation amplitudes of 20-30 km s. Of the remaining nine galaxies in this sample, 6 have velocity gradients less than 20 km skpc while the other 3 observations had too low of a signal–to–noise ratio to determine a...
