Our GMRT HI observations of the ultra diffuse galaxy (UDG) UGC 2162, projected $sim$ 300 kpc from the centre of the M77 group, reveal it to a have an extended HI disk (R$_{HI}$/R$_{25}$ $sim$ 3.3) with a moderate rotational velocity (V$_{rot} sim$ 31 km/s). This V$_{rot}$ is in line with that of dwarf galaxies with similar HI mass. We estimate an M$_{dyn}$ of $sim$ 1.14 $times$ 10$^{9}$ M$_odot$ within the galaxys R$_{HI}$ $sim$ 5.2 kpc. Additionally, our estimates of M$_{200}$ for the galaxy from NFW models are in the range of 5.0 to 8.8 $times$ 10$^{10}$ M$_odot$. Comparing UGC 2162 to samples of UDGs with HI detections show it to have amongst the smallest R$_e$ with its M$_{HI}$/M$_{star}$ being distinctly higher and g -- i colour slightly bluer than typical values in those samples. We also compared HI and dark matter (DM) halo properties of UGC 2162 with dwarf galaxies in the LITTLE THINGS sample and find its DM halo mass and profile are within the range expected for a dwarf galaxy. While we were unable to to determine the origin of the galaxys present day optical form from our study, its normal HI rotation velocity in relation to its HI mass, HI morphology, environment and dwarf mass DM halo ruled out some of the proposed ultra diffuse galaxy formation scenarios for this galaxy.

The cosmological numerical simulations tell us that accretion of external metal-poor gas drives star-formation (SF) in galaxy disks. One the best pieces of observational evidence supporting this prediction is the existence of low metallicity star-for
ming regions in relatively high metallicity host galaxies. The SF is thought to be fed by metal-poor gas recently accreted. Since the gas accretion is stochastic, there should be galaxies with all the properties of a host but without the low metallicity starburst. These galaxies have not been identified yet. The exception may be UGC 2162, a nearby ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) which combines low surface brightness and relatively high metallicity. We confirm the high metallicity of UGC 2162 (12 + log(O/H) = 8.52+0.27-0.24 ) using spectra taken with the 10-m GTC telescope. GC2162 has the stellar mass, metallicity, and star-formation rate (SFR) surface density expected for a host galaxy in between outbursts. This fact suggests a physical connection between some UDGs and metal-poor galaxies, which may be the same type of object in a different phase of the SF cycle. UGC 2162 is a high-metallicity outlier of the mass-metallicity relation, a property shared by the few UDGs with known gas-phase metallicity.
Dark matter as a Bose-Einstein condensate, such as the axionic scalar field particles of String Theory, can explain the coldness of dark matter on large scales. Pioneering simulations in this context predict a rich wave-like structure, with a ground
state soliton core in every galaxy surrounded by a halo of excited states that interfere on the de Broglie scale. This de Broglie scale is largest for low mass galaxies as momentum is lower, providing a simple explanation for the wide cores of dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Here we extend these wave dark matter ($psi$DM) predictions to the newly discovered class of Ultra Diffuse Galaxies (UDG) that resemble dwarf spheroidal galaxies but with more extended stellar profiles. Currently the best studied example, DF44, has a uniform velocity dispersion of $simeq 33$km/s, extending to at least 3 kpc, that we show is reproduced by our $psi$DM simulations with a soliton radius of $simeq 0.5$ kpc. In the $psi$DM context, we show the relatively flat dispersion profile of DF44 lies between massive galaxies with compact dense solitons, as may be present in the Milky Way on a scale of 100pc and lower mass galaxies where the velocity dispersion declines centrally within a wide, low density soliton, like Antlia II, of radius 3 kpc.
A central question regarding Ultra Diffuse Galaxies (UDGs) is whether they are a separate category to Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies, or just their natural continuation towards low stellar masses. In this letter, we show that the rotation curv
e of the gas rich UDG AGC 242019 is well fit by a dark matter halo with inner slope that asymptotes to -0.54, and that such fit provides a concentration parameter that matches theoretical expectations. This finding, together with previously works in which shallow inner profiles are derived for UDGs, shows that the structural properties of these galaxies are like other observed LSBs. UDGs show slowly rising rotation curves and this favours formation scenarios in which internal processes, such as SNae driven gas outflows, are acting to modify UDGs profiles.
We study ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in zoom in cosmological simulations, seeking the origin of UDGs in the field versus galaxy groups. We find that while field UDGs arise from dwarfs in a characteristic mass range by multiple episodes of supernova
feedback (Di Cintio et al. 2017), group UDGs may also form by tidal puffing up and they become quiescent by ram-pressure stripping. The field and group UDGs share similar properties, independent of distance from the group centre. Their dark-matter haloes have ordinary spin parameters and centrally dominant dark-matter cores. Their stellar components tend to have a prolate shape with a Sersic index n~1 but no significant rotation. Ram pressure removes the gas from the group UDGs when they are at pericentre, quenching star formation in them and making them redder. This generates a colour/star-formation-rate gradient with distance from the centre, as observed in clusters. We find that ~20 per cent of the field UDGs that fall into a massive halo survive as satellite UDGs. In addition, normal field dwarfs on highly eccentric orbits can become UDGs near pericentre due to tidal puffing up, contributing about half of the group-UDG population. We interpret our findings using simple toy models, showing that gas stripping is mostly due to ram pressure rather than tides. We estimate that the energy deposited by tides in the bound component of a satellite over one orbit can cause significant puffing up provided that the orbit is sufficiently eccentric.
Due to the peculiar properties of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs), understanding their origin presents a major challenge. Previous X-ray studies demonstrated that the bulk of UDGs lack substantial X-ray emission, implying that they reside in low-mass d
ark matter halos. This result, in concert with other observational and theoretical studies, pointed out that most UDGs belong to the class of dwarf galaxies. However, a subset of UDGs is believed to host a large population of globular clusters (GCs), which is indicative of massive dark matter halos. This, in turn, hints that some UDGs may be failed $L_{star}$ galaxies. In this work, I present Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of two archetypal UDGs, Dragonfly 44 and DF X1, and I constrain their dark matter halo mass based on the X-ray emission originating from hot gaseous emission and from the population of low-mass X-ray binaries residing in GCs. Both Dragonfly 44 and DF X1 remain undetected in X-rays. The upper limits on the X-ray emission exclude the possibility that these galaxies reside in massive ($M_{rm vir} gtrsim 5times10^{11} rm{M_{odot}}$) dark matter halos, suggesting that they are not failed $L_{star}$ galaxies. These results demonstrate that even these iconic UDGs resemble to dwarf galaxies with $M_{rm vir} lesssim 10^{11} rm{M_{odot}}$, implying that UDGs represent a single galaxy population.
