Disk Galaxies at High Redshift? [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007 AbstractThe successful implementation of integral field near-infrared spectrographs fed by adaptive optics is providing unprecedented views of gas motions within galaxies at redshifts z = 2 − 3, when the universe was forming stars at its peak rate. A complex picture of galaxy kinematics is emerging, with inflows, rotation within sometimes extended and ...

Translators of Galaxy Morphology Indicators between Observation and Simulation
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Based on the recent advancements in numerical simulations of galaxy formation, we anticipate the achievement of realistic models of galaxies in the near future.

Galaxy morphology classification: are stellar circularities enough? [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical JournalWe present a preliminary study exploring whether the stellar orbital circularity of simulated galaxies, available from precomputed catalogs in the IllustrisTNG project, can be used as a proxy for a broad morphological classification. We focus on

Composite Bulges. III. A Study of Nuclear Star Clusters in Nearby Spiral Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present photometric and morphological analyses of nuclear star clusters (NSCs)—very dense, massive star clusters present in the central regions of most galaxies—in a sample of 33 massive disk galaxies within 20 Mpc, part of the “Composite Bulges ...

Circumnuclear Keplerian Disks in Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 1998 In this paper we demonstrate the possibility of inferring the presence of Keplerian gaseous disks using optical ground-based telescopes properly equipped. We have modeled the peculiar bidimensional shape of the emission lines in a sample of five S0-Sa galaxies as due to the motion of a gaseous disk rotating in the combined potential of a central point ...

Planetary Nebulae and the Ionization of the Interstellar Medium in Galaxies
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 We discuss the role of planetary nebulae and their progeny in galaxy context in terms of ionization of the galaxy interstellar medium. This regards ionized gas outside the disk of spiral galaxies, the diffuse ionized medium in spiral galaxies, and the ...

The Space Density of Extended Ultraviolet (XUV) Disks in the Local Universe and Implications for Gas Accretion on to Galaxies [PDF]
, 2011 We present results of the first unbiased search for extended UV (XUV)-disk galaxies undertaken to determine the space density of such galaxies. Our sample contains 561 local (0.001 < z < 0.05) galaxies that lie in the intersection of available GALEX deep

Kinematic Modeling of Distant Galaxies
Open Astronomy, 2012 Evolution of galaxies is one of the most actual topics in astrophysics. Among the most important factors determining the evolution are two galactic components which are difficult or even impossible to detect optically: the gaseous disks and the dark ...

Nonlinear Density Wave Theory in a Gaseous Disk
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 A nonlinear solution for the gaseous component of a galactic disk has been derived self-consistently using fluid description and reductive perturbation theory. We show that gas follows a spiral pattern, similarly to the stellar component; but the spirals
