# Nearby void dwarf galaxies: recent results, the ongoing project and prospects

## TL;DR

This paper reviews recent findings and ongoing efforts to study dwarf galaxies in low-density void environments, aiming to understand their properties and the structure of voids within 25 Mpc.

## Contribution

It presents a systematic study of nearby void dwarf galaxies and outlines a new comprehensive survey of void galaxies within 25 Mpc.

## Key findings

- Analysis of 100 void dwarfs in the Lynx-Cancer void.
- A new sample of 1354 nearby void galaxies within 25 Mpc.
- Void sizes range from 13 to 37 Mpc, with most galaxies deeply embedded in voids.

## Abstract

Properties of dwarf galaxies formed and evolved in the lowest density environment remain largely unexplored and poorly understood. Especially this concerns the low-mass end (M_bar < 10^9 Mo). We overview the results of systematic study of a hundred void dwarfs from the nearby Lynx-Cancer void. We describe the ongoing project aiming to form Nearby Void galaxy sample (R < 25 Mpc) over the whole sky. 1354 objects with distances less than 25 Mpc fall within 25 voids delineated by 460 luminous galaxies/groups. The void major sizes range from 13 to 37 Mpc. 1088 of 1354 void galaxies reside deeply in voids, having distances to the nearest luminous neighbour of 2-11 Mpc. 195 nearest void galaxies reside in the Local Volume. We summarize the main statistical properties of the new sample and outline the prospects of study of both, the void dwarf properties and the fine structure of voids.
