Dwarf Irregular Galaxies

AbstractDwarf galaxies in the local group provide a unique astrophysical laboratory. Despite their proximity some of these systems still lack reliable distance determinations as well as studies of their stellar content and star formation history. We present first results of our survey of variable stars in a sample of six local group dwarf irregular galaxies. Taking the Leo A dwarf galaxy as an example we describe observational strategies and data reduction. We discuss the light curves of two newly found Cepheids and place them into the context of a previously derived P-L relation. Finally we discuss the LPV content of Leo A.

Spheroidal Galaxies

Recent studies (Puche & Westpfahl 1994, Young & Lo 1996) have shown that the distribution of HI in some extreme low luminosity dwarf irregular galaxies (e.g. M81dwA, Holmberg I, Leo A) tends to have a ring-like (or shell-like) distribution which suggests that a single burst of star formation could expell most of the remaining ISM (or at least a large fraction of it) from the system. In view of this, Puche & Westpfahl (1994) suggested that in dwarf spheroidal galaxies, the HI should be found at large radii since no young stellar population is observed in most of them.

AbstractLow-mass dwarf irregular galaxies are subject to outflows, in which cosmic rays may play a very important role; they can be traced via their electron component, the cosmic ray electrons (CRe), in the radio continuum as non-thermal synchrotron emission. With the advent of sensitive low-frequency observations, such as with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), we can trace CRe far away from star formation sites. Together with GHz-observations, such as with the Very Large Array (VLA), we can study spatially resolved radio continuum spectra at matched angular resolution and sensitivity. Here, we present results from our 6-GHz VLA survey of 40 nearby dwarf galaxies and our LOFAR study of the nearby starburst dwarf irregular galaxy IC 10. We explore the relation of RC emission with star formation tracers and study in IC 10 the nature of a low-frequency radio halo, which we find to be the result of a galactic wind.

AbstractWe present a new method to derive 2D star formation histories in dwarf irregular galaxies. Based on multicolor stellar photometry data we have found that in the Leo A galaxy during the last ∽400 Myr star formation was propagating according to the inside-out scenario. Star-forming regions have spread strongly asymmetrically from the center and their present day distribution correlates well with the Hi surface density maps.
