A Recipe for Growing Black Holes in Small Galaxies
How common are growing black holes in small galaxies? Today’s paper presents a model to predict the fraction of dwarf galaxies with an active black hole at its center.
Missing dark matter in a nearby dwarf galaxy
A satellite of Andromeda is missing an important ingredient — so where did it go?
UR: Adding Low-Mass Galaxies to the Baryonic Tully-Fisher Relation
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, Kaelee Parker’s looked at rotation curves of dwarf galaxies to test if the Tully-Fisher relation describes them.
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr. Marla Geha
Is the Milky Way special? Or, as Dr. Marla Geha would like to know, are the satellite galaxies around the Milky Way special? Learn more at Dr. Geha’s #AAS238 plenary talk!
Teenage Galaxy Eludes Authorities
A newly discovered dwarf galaxy near the Local Group appears to be young and lonely and it shut off star formation. What could be responsible for the quenching if there are no nearby bright galaxies?
Dwarfs from ELVES: The structure of dwarf satellite galaxies
How does the structure of the smallest galaxies vary with different environments? Today’s authors use the ELVES survey to investigate!
