Nuclei of early-type dwarf galaxies (dEs) are usually younger than the galaxy main body, and such discrepancy in age has been a puzzle. To explore the origin of young nuclei in dEs, we study a sample of dEs having compact star-forming blobs that are visually similar to dEs' nuclei but by far bluer. We find that (1) the compact star-forming blobs have a typical stellar mass of one percent of the host galaxy stellar mass; (2) some of the blobs are positioned slightly off from the center of the galaxies; (3) the H$α$ equivalent width measured from the publicly available Sloan Digital Sky Survey fiber spectroscopy shows their formation ages being an order of few Mega-year; and (4) their emission line metallicities, 12\,+\,log(O/H), are as high as the solar value, while the underlying galaxies have the typical stellar populations of dEs, i.e., log(Z/Z$_{\sun}$)\,$\sim$\,$-0.8$. Based on the results, we argue that the central star-forming blobs can provide a caught-in-the-act view of nuclei formation in dEs, and discussing possible formation mechanisms of young nuclei in old dEs. We particularly propose that these off-centered compact star-forming regions may act as seeds of nuclei as proposed in the `wet migration' scenario of \cite{Guillard16}.

The secular tidal disruption of stars by low-mass Super Massive Black Holes secondaries in galactic nuclei
恒星过于接近超大质量黑洞(SMBH)会产生潮汐破坏事件(TDE)。由于由此产生的恒星碎片可以产生电磁耀斑,因此TDE被认为可以探测星系核中单个SMBH的存在,否则它们会保持黑暗。在本文中,我们将展示恒星轨道IMBH二次扰动的SMBH主要。我们发现,恒星轨道的演变受到严重影响的主要SMBH由于长期的影响和恒星轨道相对于SMBH-IMBH轨道平面的高倾角结束其生命的TDE由于Kozai-Lidov振荡,从而照亮次级SMBH/IMBH。当SMBH的临界质量为$\approx 1.15 \times 10^8$ M $_{\odot}$以上时,老恒星星族中的典型恒星不会发生TDE,因为史瓦西半径超过了潮汐破裂半径。因此,由于这种大规模SMBH造成的任何TDE将保持黑暗。因此,在星系的膨胀质量大于$\approx 4.15\times 10^{10}$ M $_{\odot}$的星系中,不应该观测到TDE,除非还存在质量较低的次级SMBH或IMBH。因此,这里考虑的长期机制产生的TDE提供了一个有用的探测SMBH-SMBH/IMBH在最大质量的星系的二元性。我们进一步表明,TDE率可以是$\approx 10^{-4}-10^{-3}$ yr $^{-1}$,大多数TDE发生在$\approx 0.5$ Myr。最后,我们表明,恒星可能会喷出速度高达数千公里秒$^{-1}$,这可能有助于观察…
