Mass-to-Light versus Color Relations for Dwarf Irregular Galaxies
Kimberly A. Herrmann, Deidre A. Hunter, Hong-Xin Zhang +1
We have determined new relations between colors and mass-to-light ratios () for dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxies, as well as for transformed . These…
Outskirts of Nearby Disk Galaxies: Star Formation and Stellar Populations
Bruce G. Elmegreen, Deidre A. Hunter
The properties and star formation processes in the far-outer disks of nearby spiral and dwarf irregular galaxies are reviewed. The origin and structure of the generally exponential…
Turbulence and Star Formation in a Sample of Spiral Galaxies
Erin Maier, Li-Hsin Chien, Deidre A. Hunter
We investigate turbulent gas motions in spiral galaxies and their importance to star formation in far outer disks, where the column density is typically far below the critical valu…
Surface Brightness Profiles of Dwarf Galaxies: II. Color Trends and Mass Profiles
Kimberly A. Herrmann, Deidre A. Hunter, Bruce G. Elmegreen
In this second paper of a series, we explore the B-V, U-B, and FUV-NUV radial color trends from a multi-wavelength sample of 141 dwarf disk galaxies. Like spirals, dwarf galaxies h…
The Prevalence and Impact of Wolf-Rayet Stars in Emerging Massive Star Clusters
Kimberly R. Sokal, Kelsey E. Johnson, Remy Indebetouw +1
We investigate Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars as a source of feedback contributing to the removal of natal material in the early evolution of massive star clusters. Despite previous work su…
Dense cloud cores revealed by CO in the low metallicity dwarf galaxy WLM
Monica Rubio, Bruce G. Elmegreen, Deidre A. Hunter +3
Understanding stellar birth requires observations of the clouds in which they form. These clouds are dense and self-gravitating, and in all existing observations, they are molecula…
