Untangling galaxy components: full spectral bulge-disc decomposition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
To ascertain whether photometric decompositions of galaxies into bulges and discs are astrophysically meaningful, we have developed a new technique to decompose spectral data cubes into separate bulge and disc components, subject only to the constraint ...

Counter-orbiting tidal debris as the origin of the MW DoS

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
The Milky Way satellite galaxies show a phase-space distribution that is not expected from the standard scenario of galaxy formation. This is a strong hint at them being of tidal origin, which would naturally explain their spacial distribution in a disc ...

The Milky Way Galaxy as a Strong Gravitational Lens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We study the gravitational lensing effects of spiral galaxies by taking a model of the Milky Way and computing its lensing properties. The model is composed of a spherical Hernquist bulge, a Miyamoto-Nagai disc and an isothermal halo. As a strong lens, a

Disc galaxy modelling with a particle-by-particle made-to-measure method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We have developed the initial version of a new particle-by-particle adaptation of the made-to-measure (M2M) method, aiming to model the Galactic disc from upcoming Galactic stellar survey data.

Cores and revived cusps of dark matter haloes in disc galaxy formation through clump clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The cusp–core problem is a controversial problem in galactic dark matter haloes. Cosmological N-body simulations have demonstrated that galactic dark matter haloes have a cuspy density profile at the centre.

Galactic fountains and the rotation of disc-galaxy coronae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In galaxies like the Milky Way, cold (˜104 K) gas ejected from the disc by stellar activity (the so-called galactic-fountain gas) is expected to interact with the virial-temperature (˜106 K) gas of the corona.

Ram pressure stripping of disc galaxies orbiting in clusters. I. Mass and radius of the remaining gas disc

open access: yes, 2007
We present the first 3D hydrodynamical simulations of ram pressure stripping of a disc galaxy orbiting in a galaxy cluster. Along the orbit, the ram pressure that this galaxy experiences varies with time.

Hierarchical formation of bulgeless galaxies II: Redistribution of angular momentum via galactic fountains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Within a fully cosmological hydrodynamical simulation, we form a galaxy which rotates at 140 km/s, and is characterised by two loose spiral arms and a bar, indicative of a Hubble Type SBc/d galaxy. We show that our simulated galaxy has no classical bulge,

A review of elliptical and disc galaxy structure, and modern scaling laws [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A century ago, in 1911 and 1913, Plummer and then Reynolds introduced their models to describe the radial distribution of stars in `nebulae'. This article reviews the progress since then, providing both an historical perspective and a contemporary review

Modeling disc non-axisymmetries: Multiple patterns, radial migration, and thick disks

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
Disc non-axisymmetric components, such as spirals and central bars, are nowadays known to play an important role in shaping galactic discs. Here we use Tree-SPH N-body simulations to examine the effect of these perturbers on two aspects: the occurrence ...
