Making compact elliptical satellite galaxies: a conceptual model for M32

M32 and other compact dwarf galaxies present interesting evolutionary puzzles. Why are most dwarf galaxies low density systems while a very few, like M32, have the highest stellar densities of any galaxies? We suggest that gas capture should be added to the tidal stirring mix as a way to make high density M32-type dwarfs starting with relatively ordinary satellite galaxies. This paper presents some of the basic features and issue associated with gas capture models.
