Photometry of 10 dwarf irregular galaxies with LDT

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Ultradeep UBVI imaging of 10 nearby (<=7.8Mpc) noninteracting dwarf irregular galaxies are used to examine their far outer stellar disks.

Description

The annulus between 26mag/arcsec^2^ and 29mag/arcsec^2^ in the V band is what we define as the far outer disk and is our focus here. Photometry of distinct objects in the far outer disks, including far-UV images, is used to determine ages of the objects in order to look for those that are young.

In three of the galaxies we find objects with high-confidence ages <=30Myr. These objects are too young to have scattered into the far outer disk from the central regions. Therefore, they likely formed in situ.

How star-forming gas clouds formed in the extreme environment of the outer stellar disks of dwarfs is a primary unanswered question.
