The V-band magnitudes (MV) and half-light radii (rh) of dwarf galaxies within the Local Volume. The candidates from this work are shown alongside known M101 quiescent dwarfs (P. Bennet et al. 2019), isolated and quiescent dwarfs (Cetus, A. W. McConnachie & M. J. Irwin 2006; Tucana, I. Saviane et al. 1996; KKR25, D. Makarov et al. 2012; And XVIII, A. W. McConnachie et al. 2008; Eri II, D. Crnojević et al. 2016a; COSMOS-dw1, A. Polzin et al. 2021; Tucana B, D. J. Sand et al. 2022; Blobby, K. J. Casey et al. 2023; Hedgehog, J. Li et al. 2024), dwarfs within 3 Mpc (A. W. McConnachie 2012), and dwarfs from the Exploration of Local VolumE Satellites (ELVES; S. G. Carlsten et al. 2022) survey.
