... In the currently favored cosmology, CDM, the formation of dark matter structures can be simply understood as interactions solely through gravitational forces: small dark matter haloes form first and then merge together to build up larger ones. ... It is believed that such a process could be the feedback from the Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN; a BH accreting matter and radiating with large luminosities, LAGN 109 - 1015 L ) onto the host galaxy. ...

... We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the unique isolated nearby galaxy KKR25. The isolated dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy KKR25 was discovered by Karachentseva, Karachentsev Richter (1999, A , 135, 221) during the search of dwarf galaxies in the direction of the Local Void. In spite of its isolation KKR 25 has no gas and looks like a normal dwarf spheroidal system. ... This is the first known planetary nebula in a dwarf spheroidal galaxy outside the Local Group. ...
