A nearby group of galaxies, centred on NGC 972 and conspicuously rich in faint dwarf spheroidal galaxies, has been investigated photometrically on B and V plates obtained with the Tautenburg 2m Schmidt telescope. For six low surface brightness galaxies, the equivalent B- and V-brightness profiles have been extracted, and asymptotic magnitudes and mean colours have been estimated. Their equivalent profiles are well fitted by modified isothermal (King) models.

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.
