The Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy VCC 848 Formed by Dwarf-Dwarf Merging: HI Gas, Star Formation and Numerical Simulations
Hong-Xin Zhang, Rory Smith, Se-Heon Oh +12
A clear link between a dwarf-dwarf merger event and enhanced star formation (SF) in the recent past was recently identified in the gas-dominated merger remnant VCC 848, offering by…
Lessons on Star-forming Ultra-diffuse Galaxies from The Stacked Spectra of Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Yu Rong, Kai Zhu, Evelyn J. Johnston +4
We investigate the on-average properties for 28 star-forming ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) located in low-density environments, by stacking their spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky…
Exploring the origin of ultra-diffuse galaxies in clusters from their primordial alignment
Yu Rong, Pavel E. Mancera Piña, Elmo Tempel +2
We find that the minor axes of the ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in Abell 2634 tend to be aligned with the major axis of the central dominant galaxy, at a confidence…
The Next Generation Fornax Survey (NGFS): VII. A MUSE view of the nuclear star clusters in Fornax dwarf galaxies
Evelyn J. Johnston, Thomas H. Puzia, Giuseppe D'Ago +16
Clues to the formation and evolution of Nuclear Star Clusters (NSCs) lie in their stellar populations. However, these structures are often very faint compared to their host galaxy,…
The Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy VCC848 Formed by Dwarf-Dwarf Merging
Hong-Xin Zhang, Sanjaya Paudel, Rory Smith +8
It has long been speculated that many starburst or compact dwarf galaxies are resulted from dwarf-dwarf galaxy merging, but unequivocal evidence for this possibility has rarely bee…
