Dwarf Galaxies with the Highest Concentration Are Not Thicker than Ordinary Dwarf Galaxies

The formation mechanism of high-concentration dwarf galaxies is still a mystery. We perform a comparative study of the intrinsic shape of nearby low-mass galaxies with different stellar concentration. The intrinsic shape is parameterized by the intermediate-to-major axis ratios B/A and the minor-to-...
