The Interstellar Medium in Dwarf Irregular Galaxies

Deidre A. Hunter,
Bruce G. Elmegreen,
Suzanne C. Madden

Abstract: Dwarf irregular (dIrrs) galaxies are among the most common type of galaxy in the Universe. They typically have gas-rich, low surface-brightness, metal-poor, and relatively thick disks. Here, we summarize the current state of our knowledge of the interstellar medium (ISM), including atomic, molecular, and ionized gas, along with their dust properties and metals. We also discuss star-formation feedback, gas accretion, and mergers with other dwarfs that connect the ISM to the circumgalactic and intergalactic medi… Show more
