We report theoretical and numerical study of the dynamical and spectral properties of the conservative and dissipative solitons in micro-ring resonators pumped in a proximity of the zero of the group velocity dispersion. We discuss frequency and velocity locking of the conservative solitons, when dissipation is accounted for. We present theory of the dispersive radiation emitted by such solitons, report their Hopf instability and radiation enhancement by multiple solitons.
