ON THE FRACTION OF BARRED SPIRAL GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 We investigate the stellar masses of strongly barred spiral galaxies. Our analysis is based on a sample of ~14000 visually-classified nearby galaxies given in Nair & Abraham 2010(a). The fraction of barred spiral galaxies is found to be a strong function of stellar mass and star formation history, with a minimum near the characteristic mass at ...

The gas morphology of nearby star-forming galaxies [PDF]
, 2023 A galaxy’s morphology stems from the secular and environmental processes taking place over the course of its evolutionary history. Thus, it has consistently served as an important tool for gaining insights into galaxy evolution. In this work, we visually

ULTRALIGHT SCALARS AND SPIRAL GALAXIES [PDF]
Modern Physics Letters A, 2001 We study some possible astrophysical implications of a very weakly coupled ultralight dilaton-type scalar field. Such a field may develop an (approximately stable) network of domain walls. The domain wall thickness is assumed to be comparable with the thickness of the luminous part of the spiral galaxies. The walls provide trapping for galactic matter.

Spiral Galaxies as Chiral Objects? [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2006 Spiral galaxies show axial symmetry and an intrinsic 2D-chirality. Environmental effects can influence the chirality of originally isolated stellar systems and a progressive loss of chirality can be recognised in the Hubble sequence. We point out a preferential modality for genetic galaxies as in microscopic systems like aminoacids, sugars or neutrinos.

Spiral galaxies in the SAURON survey [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007 AbstractWe discuss some recent integral field spectroscopy using the SAURON instrument of a sample consisting of 24 early-type spirals, part of the SAURON Survey, and 18 late-type spirals. Using 2-dimensional maps of their stellar radial velocity, velocity dispersion, and absorption line strength, it is now much easier to understand the nature of ...

The profiles of bars in spiral galaxies
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT We present an analysis of major-axis surface-brightness profiles of bars in a volume-limited sample of 182 barred spiral galaxies, using Spitzer 3.6 $\mu$m images. Unlike most previous studies, we use the entire bar profile, and we classify profiles into four categories.
