AVID: Formation and evolution of a coalesced major merger of late-type dwarf galaxies (VCC 479) on the outskirts of the Virgo cluster

Context. Dwarf-dwarf galaxy mergers are among the least explored aspects of dwarf galaxy pre-processing as they fall into clusters. Aims. We present the first case study of a coalesced late-type dwarf major merger (VCC 479; stellar mass similar to 8 x 107
