Study of galaxies in a nearby Lynx-Cancer Void: project and first results Pustilnik S.A. and Tepliakova A.L. (SAO) Dwarf galaxies residing in the very low density environment (voids) are expected in the frame of modern cosmological CDM models to form later and to evolve more slowely in respect of their counterparts in a more typical environment. The available data on evolution of void population are rather scarce and indirect. ...
