As such\, their projected stellar ellipticity and extended light distributions are often thought to owe to tidal forces. I discuss the projected stellar ellipticities and fai nt stellar outskirts of isolated ultra-faints\, drawn from the `Engineerin g Dwarfs at Galaxy Formation’s Edge’ (EDGE) cosmological simulation su ite. I find that\, in spite of their tidal isolation\, the simulated dwarf s exhibit a wide range of projected ellipticities ($0.03 \n\nhttps://meeti ngs.aip.de/event/20/contributions/257/ LOCATION:Haus H\, Telegrafenberg URL:https://meetings.aip.de/event/20/contributions/257/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
