Abstract

A sample of early‐type dwarf galaxies of the Virgo cluster extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey is analyzed to search for two different populations: galaxies which were formed in the cluster and galaxies which were accreted at a later stage and which were stripped during this process. Photometric and spectroscopic data has been used for the analysis. Due to the low signal‐to‐noise ratios of the data, the results are however inconclusive (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

## Abstract We present ultraviolet (UV) color‐magnitude relations (CMRs) for dwarf ellipticals (dEs) and dwarf lenticulars (dS0s) in the Virgo cluster. We used the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) GR3 photometric data in far‐ultraviolet (FUV) and near‐ultraviolet (NUV) passbands combined with SDSS

## Abstract The study of (dwarf) galaxies in nearby groups is one among the most powerful tools that can be used to investigate galaxy evolution, chemical enrichment and environmental effects on these objects. The Centaurus A group (at a distance of ∼4 Mpc) is dynamically evolved and contains about
