Global trends in morphology from massive to dwarf galaxies
Ilin Lazar, Sugata Kaviraj, Christopher J. Conselice +7
The morphological properties of dwarf galaxies (Mstar < 10^9.5 MSun) remain largely unexplored, particularly outside the local neighbourhood. We explore how morphology changes acro…
Isophote shape analysis and the unfortunate subtlety of dwarf galaxy structure
A. E. Watkins, I. Lazar, T. Sedgwick +5
Dwarf galaxies (), being sensitive to key evolutionary drivers like baryonic feedback and tidal perturbation, are crucial for understanding galax…
AGN in massive galaxies identified via optical broadband variability: lessons from VST-COSMOS for future LSST science
B. Bichang'a, D. De Cicco, S. Kaviraj +4
We study the properties of 56 massive (M > 10 M) galaxies at that host AGN, detected via their broadband optical variability in the VST-COSMOS…
Multi-wavelength morphology and dust emission in low-redshift dwarf galaxies in COSMOS-Web with HST and JWST
D. Kakkad, I. Lazar, S. Harish +18
Low-mass or dwarf galaxies (M M) are abundant in the Universe, yet their formation and evolution remain poorly understood. Their enhanced sensitivity to fe…
Transformational astrophysics and exoplanet science with Habitable Worlds Observatory's High Resolution Imager
Vincent Van Eylen, Richard Massey, Saeeda Awan +167
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will be NASA's flagship space telescope of the 2040s, designed to search for life on other planets and to transform broad areas of astrophysics.…
Variability-selected AGN in dwarf galaxies: the incidence of AGN in dwarf and massive galaxies is similar
S. Kaviraj, D. De Cicco, I. Lazar +4
We use the VST-COSMOS survey to identify, via their optical broadband variability, 30 AGN in nearby (z<0.4) dwarf (10^8 MSun < M < 10^10 MSun) galaxies. VST-COSMOS offers a 1 deg^2…
The dwarf stellar mass function in different environments and the lack of a generic missing dwarfs problem in ΛCDM
Ilin Lazar, Sugata Kaviraj, Garreth Martin +9
We combine deep photometric data in the COSMOS and XMM-LSS fields with high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to explore two key questions: (1) how does the galaxy…
Nearby dwarf galaxies with extreme star formation rates: a window into dwarf-galaxy evolution in the early Universe
S. Kaviraj, B. Bichang'a, I. Lazar +3
We study a sample of nearby (z~0.2) low-luminosity dwarf (10^7 MSun < M* < 10^8 MSun) galaxies which have extreme (0.1 - 3 MSun/yr) star formation rates (SFRs) for this mass regime…
The structural properties of nearby dwarf galaxies in low density environments -- size, surface brightness and colour gradients
Ilin Lazar, Sugata Kaviraj, Aaron E. Watkins +3
We use a complete sample of 211 nearby (z<0.08) dwarf (10^8 MSun < Mstar < 10^9.5 Msun) galaxies in low-density environments, to study their structural properties: effective radii…
The properties of AGN in dwarf galaxies identified via SED fitting
B. Bichang'a, S. Kaviraj, I. Lazar +5
Given their dominance of the galaxy number density, dwarf galaxies are central to our understanding of galaxy formation. While the incidence of AGN and their impact on galaxy evolu…
The morphological mix of dwarf galaxies in the nearby Universe
Ilin Lazar, Sugata Kaviraj, Aaron E. Watkins +3
We use a complete, unbiased sample of 257 dwarf (10^8 MSun < Mstar < 10^9.5 MSun) galaxies at z < 0.08, in the COSMOS field, to study the morphological mix of the dwarf population…
