Radial velocities measured with the 6-meter telescope are given for 5 faint dwarf galaxies. All of these galaxies are confirmed as very nearby objects. Two of them, KK135 (dIr) and UGC 1703 (dSph/dTr), are local isolated dwarfs, and the…

We present a statistical study of the presence of galaxy warps in the Hubble deep fields. Among a complete sample of 45 edge-on galaxies above a diameter of 1.''3, we find 5 galaxies to be certainly warped and 6 galaxies as good candidates.…

We present the SALT spectroscopy of a globular cluster in the center of the nearby isolated dSph galaxy KKs3 situated at a distance of 2.12 Mpc. Its heliocentric radial velocity is 316+-7 km/s that corresponds to V_{LG} = 112 km/s in the…

We present deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging of five faint dwarf galaxies associated with the nearby spiral NGC 253 (D$\approx$3.5 Mpc). Three of these are newly discovered ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, while all five were found in the…

The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey consists of HST ACS imaging for 100 early-type galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, observed in the F475W and F850LP filters. We derive distances for 84 of these galaxies using the method of surface brightness…

We present a catalog of 59 ultra-compact high velocity clouds (UCHVCs) extracted from the 40% complete ALFALFA HI-line survey. The ALFALFA UCHVCs have median flux densities of 1.34 Jy km/s, median angular diameters of 10', and median…

Ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have the sizes of giant galaxies but the luminosities of dwarfs. A key to understanding their origins comes from their total masses, but their low surface brightnesses ($\mu(V) \geq$ 25.0) generally prohibit…

This study of the M81 complex and its Hubble flow delivers new and improved Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB)-based distances for nine member galaxies, yielding a total of 58 galaxies with high-precision TRGB distances. With those, we…

We present the H-alpha imaging data and flux measurements for 30 dwarf galaxies in the Local volume. The H-alpha fluxes are used to derive the galaxy star formation rate, SFR. The sample of observed galaxies is characterized by the…

The positions and velocities of galaxies in the Local Group (LG) measure the gravitational field within it. This is mostly due to the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31). We constrain their masses using distance and radial velocity (RV)…

We present the catalog of galaxy groups in the Local Supercluster. Our algorithm bases on assumption that a total energy of physical pair of galaxies must be negative. About 54% of the galaxies in our sample have been gathered in 1082…

We report the results of applying the 2MASS Tully-Fisher (TF) relations to study the galaxy bulk flows. For 1141 all-sky distributed flat RFGC galaxies we construct J, H, K_s TF relations and find that Kron $J_{fe}$ magnitudes show the…

A model for the mass in and around the Local Group previously used to fit redshifts of dwarf galaxies to their distances between 50 kpc and 2.6 Mpc under the condition of small and growing primeval departures from homogeneity is shown to…

As part of a radial velocity survey of low Galactic latitude structures that we undertook with the 2dF spectrograph on the AAT, we present the radial velocities of more than 1500 Red Giant Branch and Red Clump stars towards the centre of…

We discuss recently published data indicating that the nearby galaxy group NGC 1023 includes an inner virialized quasi-stationary component and an outer component comprising a flow of dwarf galaxies falling toward the center of the system.…

About 10 candidate Halpha emitting galaxies at z = 2.2 have been detected in a 2.1 um narrow band imaging survey covering an area of 100 sq. arcmin including the WFPC2 and STIS fields in the Hubble Deep Field South. Six of these have…

Using deep near-infrared imaging of the Hubble Deep Field South with ISAAC on the Very Large Telescope we find 6 large disk-like galaxies at redshifts z = 1.4-3.0. The galaxies, selected in K_s (2.2 micron), are regular and surprisingly…

We summarize the observed properties of the CHVC population, which provide strong evidence for source distances in the range 200-1000 kpc. At these distances, the population corresponds to strongly dark-matter dominated sub-dwarf galaxies…

An analysis of large-area CO J=3-2 maps from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope for 12 nearby spiral galaxies reveals low velocity dispersions in the molecular component of the interstellar medium. The three lowest luminosity galaxies show a…

Within the SECCO survey we identified a candidate stellar counterpart to the Ultra Compact High Velocity Cloud (UCHVC) HVC274.68+74.70-123, that was suggested by Adams et al. (2013) as a possible mini-halo within the Local Group of…
