Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2011 The disks of disk galaxies contain a substantial fraction of their baryonic matter and angular momentum, and much of the evolutionary activity in these galaxies, such as the formation of stars, spiral arms, bars and rings, and the various forms of secular evolution, takes place in their disks. The formation and evolution of galactic disks are therefore

THE OUTER DISKS OF GALAXIES:“TO BE OR NOT TO BE TRUNCATED?” [PDF]
, 2007 We have in recent years come to view the outer parts of galaxies as having vital clues about their formation and evolution. Here, we would like to briefly present our results from a complete sample of nearby, late-type, spiral galaxies, using data from the SDSS survey, especially focused on the stellar light distribution in the outer disk.

On the Extended Knotted Disks of Galaxies [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2007 The stellar disks of many spiral galaxies are twice as large as generally thought. We use archival data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer mission (GALEX) to quantify the statistical properties of young stellar clusters in the outer, extended disks of a sample of eleven nearby galaxies.

Disk Galaxies Are Self-similar: The Universality of the H i-to-Halo Mass Ratio for Isolated Disks
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Observed scaling relations in galaxies between baryons and dark matter global properties are key to shed light on the process of galaxy formation and on the nature of dark matter.

The evolution of disk galaxies in clusters [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2002 We are carrying out a programme to measure the evolution of the stellar and dynamical masses and M/L ratios for a sizeable sample of morphologically-classified disk galaxies in rich galaxy clusters at 0 ...

THE PARKER INSTABILITY IN DISK GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 ABSTRACT We examine the evolution of the Parker instability in galactic disks using 3D numerical simulations. We consider a local Cartesian box section of a galactic disk, where gas, magnetic fields, and cosmic rays are all initially in a magnetohydrostatic equilibrium. This is done for different choices of initial cosmic-ray density and

Secondary evolution of galaxies investigated by N-body simulations [PDF]
, 2008 In the ΛCDM cosmology, merging is one of the most important physical processes that drives the formation and evolution of galaxies. In the present work, we use N-body techniques to investigate some of currently open issues related to the formation and ...

On the Decline of Star Formation during the Evolution of Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Cosmological simulations predict that during the evolution of galaxies, the specific star formation rate continuously decreases. In a previous study we showed that generally this is not caused by the galaxies running out of cold gas but rather a decrease

General Physical Properties of Gamma-Ray-emitting Radio Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 We study the radio galaxies with known redshifts detected by the Fermi satellite after 10 yr of data (4FGL-DR2). We use a one-zone leptonic model to fit the quasi-simultaneous multiwavelength data of these radio galaxies and study the distributions of ...

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
