Surface photometry of local dwarf galaxies

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present surface photometry and metallicity measurements for 104 nearby dwarf galaxies imaged with the Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 aboard the Hubble Space Telescope.

Description

In addition, we carried out photometry for 26 galaxies of the sample and for Sextans B on images of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our sample comprises dwarf spheroidal, irregular and transition type galaxies located within ~10Mpc in the field and in nearby groups: M81, Centaurus A, Sculptor and Canes Venatici I cloud.

It is found that the early-type galaxies have on average higher metallicity at a given luminosity in comparison to the late-type objects. Dwarf galaxies with MB>=-12 to -13mag deviate towards larger scalelengths from the scalelength-luminosity relation common for spiral galaxies, h{prop.to}L^0.5^_B_.
