The Wlm Local Group Dwarf Galaxy Noirlab

The Wlm Local Group Dwarf Galaxy Noirlab The wlm local group dwarf galaxy, as observed with the ctio blanco 4 m telescope and mosaic ii camera as part of the noao sponsored local group survey (pi: philip massey, lowell observatory). the image is a true color combination of images in three of the filters used by the survey.

Wolf–lundmark–melotte (wlm) is an irregular galaxy located on the outer edges of the local group. wlm is about ten times smaller than our own galaxy, the milky way. this image was made using data from the local group survey. the image was generated with observations in u (violet), b (blue), v (cyan), i (orange) and h alpha (red) filters. Wlm is a gas rich dwarf galaxy in our local group, so isolated and distant that it has never interacted with other galaxies. however, this image from the meerkat radio telescope reveals that wlm is interacting with a very low density ionised medium located between galaxies, known as the intergalactic medium (igm).

The former is relatively unaffected by ram pressure while the dynamics of the latter is considerably affected. this study shows that mass estimates of a dwarf galaxy like wlm should involve a full modelling of its dynamical components, especially its asymmetric rotation curve. This study shows that mass estimates of a dwarf galaxy like wlm should involve a full modelling of its dynamical components, especially its asymmetric rotation curve. The wolf–lundmark–melotte (wlm) galaxy is an isolated gas rich dwarf irregular galaxy in the local group (lg) roughly 900 kpc away from the milky way and m31 (mcconnachie, 2012). The wolf–lundmark–melotte galaxy (wlm) is a barred irregular galaxy discovered in 1909 by max wolf, located on the outer edges of the local group. the discovery of the nature of the galaxy was accredited to knut lundmark and philibert jacques melotte in 1926.
