Kinematics and dynamics of the luminous infrared galaxy pair NGC 5257/58 (Arp 240) [PDF]
Context. Encounters between galaxies modify their morphology, kinematics, and star formation history. The relation between these changes and external perturbations is not straightforward. The great number of parameters involved requires both the study of

Structure and dynamics of galaxies with a low surface-brightness disc - I. The stellar and ionized-gas kinematics [PDF]
Photometry and long-slit spectroscopy are presented for a sample of six galaxies with a low surface-brightness stellar disc and a bulge. The characterizing parameters of the bulge and disc components were derived by means of a two-dimensional photometric

Dark matter or modified dynamics?: hints from galaxy kinematics
I show two observational projects I am involved in, which are aimed at understanding better the existence and nature of dark matter, and also aimed at testing alternatives to galactic dark matter such as MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics).

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Kinematics of Stars and Gas in Brightest Group Galaxies—The Role of Group Dynamics [PDF]
Abstract We study the stellar and gas kinematics of the brightest group galaxies (BGGs) in dynamically relaxed and unrelaxed galaxy groups for a sample of 154 galaxies in the SAMI galaxy survey. We characterize the dynamical state of the groups using the luminosity gap between the two most luminous galaxies and the BGG offset from the ...

Evaluating galaxy dynamical masses from kinematics and jeans equilibrium in simulations [PDF]
ABSTRACT We provide prescriptions to evaluate the dynamical mass (Mdyn) of galaxies from kinematic measurements of stars or gas using analytic considerations and the VELA suite of cosmological zoom-in simulations at z = 1–5. We find that Jeans or hydrostatic equilibrium is approximately valid for galaxies of stellar masses above M⋆ ∼ 109.

Kinematical and Dynamical Modeling of Elliptical Galaxies [PDF]
Elements of kinematical and dynamical modeling of elliptical galaxies (Es) are presented. In projection, NFW models resemble Sersic models, but with a very narrow range of shapes (m=3+/-1). The total density profile of Es cannot be NFW-like because the predicted local M/L and aperture velocity dispersion within an effective radius (Re) are much lower ...

Photometry, Kinematics and Dynamics of the Barred Galaxy NGC 5383 [PDF]
NGC 5383 has often been used as a prototype of SB(s)b type galaxies, particulary in studies of gas flow. We have therefore set out to complement the existing data with surface photometry, velocity measurements in the bar and a dynamical model.
