Dust and Gas as Seeds for Metal-Poor Star Formation
Deidre A. Hunter
I address the issue of dust and gas as seeds for metal-poor star formation by reviewing what we know about star formation in nearby dwarf galaxies and its relationship to the gas a…
A High-Resolution Study of the HI Content of Local Group Dwarf Irregular Galaxy WLM
Amanda Kepley, Eric Wilcots, Deidre Hunter +1
Dwarf irregular galaxies are unique laboratories for studying the interaction between stars and the interstellar medium in low mass environments. We present the highest spatial res…
Mid-Infrared Images of Stars and Dust in Irregular Galaxies
Deidre A. Hunter, Bruce G. Elmegreen, Emily Martin
We present mid-infrared to optical properties of 22 representative irregular galaxies: 18 Im, 3 BCDs, and one Sm. The mid-IR is based on images from the Spitzer Space Telescope arc…
Radial Profiles of Star Formation in the Far Outer Regions of Galaxy Disks
Bruce G. Elmegreen, Deidre A. Hunter
Star formation in galaxies is triggered by a combination of processes, including gravitational instabilities, spiral wave shocks, stellar compression, and turbulence compression. S…
Broad-Band Imaging of a Large Sample of Irregular Galaxies
Deidre A. Hunter, Bruce G. Elmegreen
We present the results of UBV imaging of a large sample of irregular galaxies: 94 Im systems, 24 Blue Compact Dwarfs (BCDs), and 18 Sm galaxies. We also include JHK imaging of 41 o…
The stellar velocity dispersion in the inner 1.3 disk scale-lengths of the irregular galaxy NGC 4449
Deidre A. Hunter, Vera C. Rubin, Rob A. Swaters +2
We present measurements of the stellar velocity dispersion in the inner 1 arcmin radius (1.3 disk scale-lengths) of the irregular galaxy NGC 4449 determined from long-slit absorpti…
