Descripción
We present here preliminary results of our wide-field study of NGC 3109:
a low luminosity galaxy in the outskirts of the Local Group. Its edge-on
orientation (which simplifies the study of a possible halo) and the
possibility that it could, in fact, be a small spiral (the smallest in
the Local Group) makes its deep analysis of major relevance to
understand the properties of dwarf galaxies and the transition from
dwarf irregulars to spirals.
