The galactic HI-to-halo mass relation from isolated galaxies to cosmological hydrodynamic simulations

Marie Korsaga, Jonathan Freundlich, Benoit Famaey +15

The relation between HI and dark matter (DM) halo masses provides key insights into gas accretion and the regulation of galaxy formation. In a previous study based on SPARC and LIT…

WLM: Dynamics of an isolated Dwarf Irregular Galaxy Under Ram Pressure in the Local Group

Neel Kolhe, Francois Hammer, Yanbin Yang +5

WLM is an archetypal dwarf irregular galaxy that has not experienced interactions with major Local Group galaxies within the past 8 Gyr. It has recently been shown that WLM is losi…

MIGHTEE-\HI: Possible interactions with the galaxy NGC~895

Brenda Namumba, Javier Román, Jesus Falcon Barroso +29

The transformation and evolution of a galaxy is strongly influenced by interactions with its environment. Neutral hydrogen (\HI) is an excellent way to trace these interactions. He…

Evidence of ram pressure stripping of WLM, a dwarf galaxy far away from any large host galaxy

Yanbin Yang, Roger Ianjamasimanana, Francois Hammer +5

Dwarf galaxies are affected by all the evolutionary processes normally at work in galaxies of any mass. As fainter and less massive galaxies, however, dwarf galaxies are particular…
