... ESO . ... Galaxies . ... Now, however, Dante Minniti and Albert Zijlstra [1] , working at the ESO 3.5-metre New Technology Telescope (NTT), have found a large halo of old and metal-poor stars around one of the dwarf galaxies in the Local Group. ... This does not necessarily imply that all dwarf galaxies must likewise lack halos: it is also possible that the halos of the Magellanic Clouds were stripped away when they came too close to the Milky Way sometime in the past. ... A Dwarf Galaxy With A Halo...

... Observing . ... Gravitational wave search provides insights into galaxy evolution and mergers . ... First galaxies were born much earlier than expected . ... Using the amplifying power of a cosmic gravitational lens, astronomers have discovered a distant galaxy whose stars were born unexpectedly early in cosmic history. ... However, the newly discovered galaxy has dramatically different features from other distant galaxies that have been observed, which generally shine brightly with only young stars...

... 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. ...
