DOI: 10.1007/s10509-017-3039-6
Abstract: Dwarf satellite galaxies of the Milky Way appear to be gravitationally bound, but their stars’ orbital motion seems too fast to allow this given their visible mass. This is akin to the larger-scale galaxy rotation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41550-018-0662-2
Abstract: Intermediate-mass black holes (BHs) in local dwarf galaxies are considered the relics of the early seed BHs. However, their growth might have been impacted by galaxy mergers and BH feedback so that they cannot be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41550-021-01575-x
Abstract: Dwarf galaxies are the least massive, most abundant and most widely distributed type of galaxy. Hence, they are key to testing theories of galaxy and Universe evolution. Dwarf galaxies sufficiently close to have their gas… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-025-08783-9
Abstract: Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are the densest stellar systems in the Universe. These clusters can be found at the centre of all galaxy types but tend to favour galaxies of intermediate stellar mass around 109M⊙… read more here.

DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202038176
Abstract: (Abridged) Type I superluminous supernovae (SLSNe I) are rare, powerful explosions whose mechanism and progenitors remain elusive. SLSNe I show a preference for low-metallicity, actively star-forming dwarf galaxies. We investigate whether the hosts of SLSNe… read more here.

DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202039408
Abstract: The transformation of late-type galaxies has been suggested as the origin of early-type dwarf galaxies in galaxy clusters. Venhola et al. analysed correlations between colour and surface brightness for galaxies in the Fornax cluster binned… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa1280
Abstract: Deciphering the distribution of metals throughout galaxies is fundamental in our understanding of galaxy evolution. Nearby, low-metallicity, star-forming dwarf galaxies, in particular, can offer detailed insight into the metal-dependent processes that may have occurred within… read more here.
