, 2023 Our vision of galaxies has changed significantly since the era of large galaxy surveys like the Sloan, which gave us extensive statistics with millions of galaxies. The Hubble sequence classification described in Chapter 1 still remains very widely used but has been enriched with broad categories based on color that indicate the recent formation of ...

The HI Halo of Spiral Galaxies
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2004 The results of observational studies on the vertical HI density distribution and kinematics of the disks of spiral galaxies are reported and discussed. Attention is drawn to the presence of HI emission, unknown before and here referred to as the `beard', which has anomalous structure and kinematics, different from the known cold HI disk. This component

Molecular Clouds in Spiral Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1983 A large observational program investigating the 2.6 mm CO line in spiral galaxies is being conducted by myself and Nick Scoville using the 14 m telescope of the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory (HPBW = 50″). Thus far we have observed 46 galaxies of types Sa, Sb, Sc and Irr, detected 31, and mapped 16.

Spiral structure in nearby galaxies – II. Comparative analysis and conclusions [PDF]
, 2014 This paper presents a detailed analysis of two-armed spiral structure in a sample of galax- ies from the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS), with particular focus on the relationships between the properties of the spiral pattern in the ...

The DiskMass Survey VII. The distribution of luminous and dark matter in spiral galaxies [PDF]
, 2013 We present dynamically-determined rotation-curve mass decompositions of 30 spiral galaxies, which were carried out to test the maximum-disk hypothesis and to quantify properties of their dark-matter halos.

Assembling Spiral Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1996 Nearby spiral galaxies offer vital clues to some of the most fundamental questions about galaxy formation and evolution: What is the star formation history of the universe, past and future? When did disks form, during the final stages of a single primeval collapse, or as a continuous or episodic process?

FUNDAMENTAL MASS–SPIN–MORPHOLOGY RELATION OF SPIRAL GALAXIES [PDF]
, 2013 This work presents high-precision measurements of the specific baryon angular momentum jb contained in stars, atomic gas, and molecular gas, out to ≳ 10 scale radii, in 16 nearby spiral galaxies of the THINGS sample.

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.
