‘Galaxies’ describes galaxy morphology, the chemical evolution of galaxies, and stellar dynamics. A galaxy consists of a huge number of point masses—stars and dark matter—that move freely in the gravitational field that they jointly generate. The nature of a galaxy is largely determined by its luminosity, its bulge-to-disc ratio, and the ratio of its mass of cold gas to the mass in stars. Galaxies are also shaped by their environments. Dense environments are rich in elliptical and lenticular galaxies, while abnormally under-dense environments are rich in dwarf irregular galaxies. Spiral galaxies like our own tend to inhabit regions of intermediate density.

AbstractWe studied the morphology of star formation in dwarf irregular galaxies and found that, in general, this takes place on one side of a galaxy and far from the center. This is mainly true for low surface brightness galaxies; in high surface brightness dwarf irregulars the star formation tends to be more centrally concentrated, as well as being more intense. We discuss possible star formation triggers in dwarf irregular galaxies, and evaluate the reasons for the peculiar distribution of star forming regions of these galaxies. Stochastic star formation, interactions with external gas, and tidal interactions appear to be ruled out as responsible for the asymmetric pattern of star formation. We conclude that asymmetry of a dark matter halo or of an asymmetric underlying stellar distribution may trigger an asymmetric pattern of star formation.
