✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We present models of the formation and evolution of isolated dwarf galaxies. The models follow the evolution of an initially homogeneous gas cloud collapsing in a pre‐existing dark‐matter halo. These simplified initial conditions are supported by the merger trees of isolated dwarf galaxies extracted from the milli‐Millennium Simulation. An extensive comparison of the models to observations was made. The models' surface brightness profiles are well fitted by Sérsic profiles and the correlations between the models' Sérsic parameters and luminosity agree with the observations. We have also compared model predictions for the half‐light radius R~e~, central velocity dispersion σ~c~, broad band colour B – V, metallicity [Z/Z~⊙~] versus luminosity relations and for the location relative to the fundamental plane with the available data. In all cases the models give the correct slope, in most cases we also get the zero‐point right (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## 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

## Abstract We study the effects of clouds on the dynamical and chemical evolution of gas‐rich dwarf galaxies, in particular focusing on two model galaxies similar to IZw18 and NGC 1569. We consider both scenarios, clouds put at the beginning of the simulation and continuously created infalling one

## Abstract We summarize the results from analyzing six clusters of galaxies at 0.14 < __z__ < 0.40 observed with the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys. We derive deep composite luminosity functions in __B__, __g__, __V__, __r__, __i__, and __z__ down to absolute magnitude of ∼ –14
