THE OPACITY OF SPIRAL GALAXY DISKS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The opacity of foreground spiral disks can be probed from the number of distant galaxies seen through them. To calibrate this number for effects other than the dust extinction, Gonzalez et al. (1998) developed the "Synthetic Field Method". A synthetic field is an extincted Hubble Deep Field added to the science field.

Star clusters in unperturbed spiral galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Stars do not form in isolation, they form in groups known as star clusters. Star clusters are seen in a wide range of galaxies and environments. Their presence reveals the history of the host galaxy and the processes of its star formation.

The Formation of Galaxy Disks

open access: yes, 2008
We present a new set of multi-million particle SPH simulations of the formation of disk dominated galaxies in a cosmological context. Some of these galaxies are higher resolution versions of the models already described in Governato et al (2007). To correctly compare simulations with observations we create artificial images of our simulations and from ...

Disk Galaxies at High Redshift? [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 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 ...

Chemodynamical modeling of young disk galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Disk galaxies are very complex systems consisting of several components like the bulge, the disk and the halo. Additionally, substructures like extended HI disks, thin and thick stellar disks are observed.

Kinematic Modeling of Distant Galaxies

open access: yesOpen 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 ...

Early assembly of the most massive galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The current consensus is that galaxies begin as small density fluctuations in the early Universe and grow by in situ star formation and hierarchical merging(1).

Translators of Galaxy Morphology Indicators between Observation and Simulation

open access: yesThe 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.

Identifying lopsidedness in spiral galaxies using a deep convolutional neural network

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. About 30% of disk galaxies exhibit lopsidedness in their stellar disk. Although such a large-scale asymmetry in the disk can be primarily considered as a long-lived mode (m = 1), the physical origin of the lopsidedness in the disk continues to ...
