New Low Surface Brightness Dwarf Galaxies Detected Around Nearby Spirals
  We conduct a survey of low surface brightness (LSB) satellite galaxies around
the Local Volume massive spirals using long exposures with small amateur
telescopes. We identified 27 low and very low surface brightness objects around
the galaxies NGC,672, 891, 1156, 2683, 3344, 4258, 4618, 4631, and 5457
situated within 10 Mpc from us, and found nothing new around NGC,2903, 3239,
4214, and 5585. Assuming that the dwarf candidates are the satellites of the
neighboring luminous galaxies, their absolute magnitudes are in the range of
-8.6 > M_B > -13.3, their effective diameters are 0.4-4.7 kpc, and the average
surface brightness is 26.1 mag/sq arcsec. The mean linear projected separation
of the satellite candidates from the host galaxies is 73 kpc. Our spectroscopic
observations of two LSB dwarfs with the Russian 6-meter telescope confirm their
physical connection to the host galaxies NGC,891 and NGC,2683.
