Galaxies in the Lynx-Cancer void

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The evolution of galaxies is influenced by the environment in which they reside.

Description

This effect should be strongest for the lowest-mass and lowest-luminosity galaxies. To study dwarf galaxies in extremely low density environments, we have compiled a deep catalogue of dwarf galaxies in the nearby Lynx-Cancer void.

This void hosts some of the most metal-poor dwarfs known to date. It borders the Local Volume at negative supergalactic Z(SGZ) coordinates and has a size of more than 16Mpc. With a distance to its centre of only 18Mpc, it is close enough to allow a search for the faintest dwarfs.

Within the void 75 dwarf (-11.9>M_B_>-18.0) and four subluminous (-18.0>M_B_>-18.4) galaxies have been identified. We present the parameters of the void galaxies and a detailed analysis of the completeness of the catalogue as a function of magnitude and surface brightness.
