High velocity dispersion in a rare grand-design spiral galaxy at redshift z = 2.18 [PDF]
Nature, 2012 Although grand-design spiral galaxies are relatively common in the local Universe, only one has been spectroscopically confirmed to lie at redshift z > 2 (HDFX 28; z = 2.011); and it may prove to be a major merger that simply resembles a spiral in ...

High-resolution, 3D radiative transfer modeling. I. The grand-design spiral galaxy M 51 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2014 Context. Dust reprocesses about half of the stellar radiation in galaxies. The thermal re-emission by dust of absorbed energy is considered to be driven merely by young stars so is often applied to tracing the star formation rate in galaxies.

Gas and stellar spiral arms and their offsets in the grand-design spiral galaxy M51 [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016 Theoretical studies on the response of interstellar gas to a gravitational potential disc with a quasi-stationary spiral arm pattern suggest that the gas experiences a sudden compression due to standing shock waves at spiral arms.

Star formation in grand-design, spiral galaxies. Young, massive clusters in the near-infrared [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2012 Deep, near-infrared JHK-maps were observed for 10 nearby, grand-design, spiral galaxies using HAWK-I/VLT to study the distribution of young stellar clusters in them and thereby determine whether strong spiral perturbations can influence star formation ...

The sequence of spiral arm classes: Observational signatures of persistent spiral density waves in grand-design galaxies [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2019 We investigate how the properties of spiral arms relate to other fundamental galaxy properties. To this end, we use previously published measurements of those properties, and our own measurements of arm-interarm luminosity contrasts for a large sample of

A panchromatic spatially resolved analysis of nearby galaxies – I. Sub-kpc-scale main sequence in grand-design spirals [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 We analyse the spatially resolved relation between stellar mass (M⋆) and star formation rate (SFR) in disc galaxies (i.e. the main sequence, MS). The studied sample includes eight nearby face-on grand-design spirals, e.g.

THE PdBI ARCSECOND WHIRLPOOL SURVEY (PAWS). I. A CLOUD-SCALE/MULTI-WAVELENGTH VIEW OF THE INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM IN A GRAND-DESIGN SPIRAL GALAXY [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 The Plateau de Bure Interferometer Arcsecond Whirlpool Survey has mapped the molecular gas in the central ∼9 kpc of M51 in its 12CO(1–0) line emission at a cloud-scale resolution of ∼40 pc using both IRAM telescopes.

Spatially resolved properties of the grand-design spiral galaxy UGC 9837: a case for high-redshift 2-D observations [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2011 Context. We carry out a detailed 2-D study of the ionised gas in the local universe galaxy UGC 9837. In nearby galaxies, like the galaxy in question here, the spatial distribution of the physical properties can be studied in detail, providing benchmarks ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 1983 Spiral arm classifications were made for 261 low-inclination galaxies in groups listed by Huchra and Geller. The fractional occurrence of grand design spiral structure in nonbarred galaxies was found to increase from approx.0.1 to approx.0.6 and then level off as the group crossing rate or galaxy collision rate in a group increases.
