Mass distributions in disk galaxies [PDF]
, 2016 We present results on luminous and dark matter mass distributions in disk galaxies from the DiskMass Survey. As expected for normal disk galaxies, stars dominate the baryonic mass budget in the inner region of the disk; however, at about four optical ...

The molecular and atomic hydrogen gas content of the Boötes Void galaxy CG 910
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Void galaxies are located in the most under-dense environments of the Universe, where the number density of galaxies is extremely low. They are, hence, good targets for studying the secular evolution of galaxies and the slow buildup of stellar ...

Kinematic modelling of disk galaxies [PDF]
, 2007 This is the second of a series of papers in which the kinematics of disk galaxies is studied by analysing spectroscopic data. Making use of the methods presented in Paper I, this work focuses on the large-scale distribution of disk and Dark Matter ...

Conditions for Bar Formation in Bulgeless Disk Galaxies
The Astrophysical JournalWhile bars are commonly observed in disk galaxies, the precise conditions governing their formation remain incompletely understood. To investigate these conditions, we perform a suite of N -body simulations of bulgeless disk galaxies with stellar masses ...

An investigation of the active galaxies M82 and NGC 5128 [PDF]
, 1995 In this thesis we present multi-waveband imaging polarimetry and spectropolarime- try of the starburst galaxy M82 and multi-waveband imaging polarimetry of the active galaxy NGC 5128. A review of previous studies of these galaxies is given.

The Astrophysical Journal, 1988 Correlated supernovae from an OB association create a superbubble: a large, thin, shell of cold gas surrounding a hot pressurized interior. Because supernova blast waves usually become subsonic before reaching the walls of the shell or cooling radiatively, the energy input from supernovae may be reasonably approximated as a continuous luminosity. Using

Origin and Evolution of Large-scale Magnetic Fields [PDF]
, 2015 Magnetic elds are ubiquitous at all scales in the Universe and have been observed in galaxies and clusters of galaxies via observations of di use radio emission and Faraday Rotation Measures.

Chemical and kinematical evolution in nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]
, 2006 Dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are the least massive and luminous objects known to exist. These galaxies are often considered as the fossil building blocks of massive systems predicted by some cosmological models.

What determines the bulge to disk ratio of galaxies [PDF]
, 1990 Galaxies having the same luminosity may have very different bulge to disk ratios, while the mean bulge to disk ratio slowly increases with total luminosity (Schecter and Dressler, 1987, Sandage et al., 1985).

Identifying Signatures of Inflow onto Face-on Galaxies Using the Balmer Decrement
The Astrophysical JournalIsolated star-forming galaxies require inflows of fresh gas from the surrounding medium to sustain episodes of star formation over time. However, there are very few direct detections of accretion onto external galaxies.
