Groups of dwarf galaxies in the Local supercluster (1010.1563v1)
Published 7 Oct 2010 in astro-ph.CO
Abstract: We present a project on study of groups composed of dwarf galaxies only. We selected such structures using HyperLEDA and NED databases with visual inspection on SDSS images and on digital copy of POSS. The groups are characterized by size of few tens of kpc and line-of-sight velocity dispersion about 18 km/s. Our groups similar to associations of nearby dwarfs from Tully et al. (2006). This specific population of multiple dwarf galaxies such as IZw18 may contain significant amount of dark matter. It is very likely that we see them at the stage just before merging of its components.
