Pavo: Discovery of a Star-forming Dwarf Galaxy Just Outside the Local Group

We report the discovery of Pavo, a faint ( M _V = −10.0), star-forming, irregular, and extremely isolated dwarf galaxy at D ≈ 2 Mpc. Pavo was identified in Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey imaging via a novel approach that combines low surface brightness galaxy search algorithms and machine-learning...
