‘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.

Recent studies (Puche & Westpfahl 1994, Young & Lo 1996) have shown that the distribution of HI in some extreme low luminosity dwarf irregular galaxies (e.g. M81dwA, Holmberg I, Leo A) tends to have a ring-like (or shell-like) distribution which suggests that a single burst of star formation could expell most of the remaining ISM (or at least a large fraction of it) from the system. In view of this, Puche & Westpfahl (1994) suggested that in dwarf spheroidal galaxies, the HI should be found at large radii since no young stellar population is observed in most of them.

AbstractLow-mass dwarf irregular galaxies are subject to outflows, in which cosmic rays may play a very important role; they can be traced via their electron component, the cosmic ray electrons (CRe), in the radio continuum as non-thermal synchrotron emission. With the advent of sensitive low-frequency observations, such as with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), we can trace CRe far away from star formation sites. Together with GHz-observations, such as with the Very Large Array (VLA), we can study spatially resolved radio continuum spectra at matched angular resolution and sensitivity. Here, we present results from our 6-GHz VLA survey of 40 nearby dwarf galaxies and our LOFAR study of the nearby starburst dwarf irregular galaxy IC 10. We explore the relation of RC emission with star formation tracers and study in IC 10 the nature of a low-frequency radio halo, which we find to be the result of a galactic wind.
