Gas flows around the smallest galaxies

Dwarf galaxies are the most abundant galaxies in the Universe, yet they remain among the least understood. Their shallow gravitational wells make them exquisitely sensitive to the energy released by stars and supernovae, which can drive gas, and the heavy elements it carries, far beyond the visible galaxy.
