The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury: Triangulum Extended Region (PHATTER). V. The Structure of M33 in Resolved Stellar Populations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a detailed analysis of the structure of the Local Group flocculent spiral galaxy M33, as measured using the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury Triangulum Extended Region (PHATTER) survey. Leveraging the multiwavelength coverage of PHATTER,

The shapes of spiral arms in the S$^4$G survey and their connection with stellar bars [PDF]

open access: yesA&A 631, A94 (2019), 2019
Spiral galaxies are common in the local Universe, but their formation, evolution, and interplay with bars remain poorly understood. We use a sample of 391 nearby galaxies from the S$^4$G survey to characterise the winding angle and amplitude of spiral arms as a function of disc properties, such as bar strength, in all kinds of spirals (grand-design ...

Dense Molecular Gas Associated with the Circumnuclear Star-forming Ring in the Barred Spiral Galaxy NGC 6951 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We present high-resolution (3''-5'') observations of CO (1-0) and HCN (1-0) emission from the circumnuclear star-forming ring in the barred spiral galaxy NGC 6951, a host of a type 2 Seyfert nucleus, using the Nobeyama Millimeter Array and the Nobeyama ...

Diffusion in barred-spiral galaxies

open access: yes, 2010
We characterize the radial migration of stars in the disk plane by calculating the diffusion coefficient and the diffusion time-scale for a bulge-disk N-body self-consistent system with a marginally-stable Toomre-Q parameter. We find that diffusion is not constant in time, but follows the evolution of the bar, and becomes maximum near the corotation ...

Stellar dynamics around transient co-rotating spiral arms

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
Spiral density wave theory attempts to describe the spiral pattern in spiral galaxies in terms of a long-lived wave structure with a constant pattern speed in order to avoid the winding dilemma.

Gravitational bar and spiral arm torques from K_s-band observations and implications for the pattern speeds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We have obtained deep near-infrared K_s-band William Herschel Telescope observations of a sample of 15 nearby spiral galaxies having a range of Hubble types and apparent bar strengths. The near-infrared light distributions are converted into gravitational potentials, and the maximum relative gravitational torques due to the bars and the spirals are ...

Multiple pattern speeds and the manifold spirals in a simulation of a barred spiral galaxy

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
Observations of real galaxies as well as N-body simulations often indicate the presence of multiple pattern speeds in the disc of a barred spiral galaxy.

ASTE CO (3-2) Observations of the Barred Spiral Galaxy M 83: I. Correlation between CO (3-2)/ CO (1-0) Ratios and Star Formation Efficiencies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We present CO (J = 3–2) emission observations with the ASTE toward the 50 50 (or 6.6 kpc 6.6 kpc at the distance D = 4.5 Mpc) region of the nearby barred spiral galaxy M 83.

Spirals and Rings in Barred Galaxies by the ROTASE Model

open access: yesInternational Journal of Physics, 2021
This paper extends the application of the ROTASE model for the formation of spiral arms of disc galaxies, questions and confusions from readers about this model are addressed. The optical trail effect behind the spiral arm rotation is the natural consequence of the model.

Diverse Molecular Structures across the Whole Star-forming Disk of M83: High-fidelity Imaging at 40 pc Resolution

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) imaging of molecular gas across the full star-forming disk of the barred spiral galaxy M83 in CO( J = 1–0).
