Solo dwarfs II: The stellar structure of isolated Local Group dwarf galaxies

C. R. Higgs, A. W. McConnachie, N. Annau +5

The Solo (Solitary Local) Dwarf Galaxy survey is a volume limited, wide-field g- and i- band survey of all known nearby (<3 Mpc) and isolated (>300 kpc from the Milky Way or M31) d…
