Early assembly of the most massive galaxies [PDF]

, 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).

Spiral Structure of Our Galaxy and of Other Galaxies [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1970
Time and again Dr. B. Bok publishes his reviews on the state of optical searches of the spiral arms in our Galaxy. A great optimist at the beginning, concerning the agreement of different results, he became later more critical in his conclusions. But in his paper of 1967 he claims anew, as well established, that we can trace the spiral arms up to a ...

Spiral structure in external galaxies [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1970
The need for observing at least four different categories of optical objects for a satisfactory definition of optical spiral structure is emphasized. A sequence of optical form-types for the description of spiral structure is outlined. A pronounced difference in the nature of the spiral structure of the outer and inner parts of Messier 33 is ...

STRUCTURE AND FORMATION OF ELLIPTICAL AND SPHEROIDAL GALAXIES [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2009
New surface photometry of all known elliptical galaxies in the Virgo cluster is added to published data to derive composite profiles over large dynamic ranges. Sersic functions fit them remarkably well. Effective brightnesses and radii are derived via Sersic fits and by integrating the profiles nonparametrically. We strongly confirm two dichotomies: (1)

FORMATION AND MAINTENANCE OF SPIRAL STRUCTURE IN GALAXIES [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1985
The formation and maintenance of spiral structure in galaxies is discussed in terms of spiral modes with a general perception consistent with the hypothesis of quasi-stationary spiral structure. The latter is explained in some detail to give it the original proper perspective and to contrast it with recent studies of non-stationary spiral structures ...

Structure of the Galaxy [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1964
The title which the organizers of the Symposium have suggested for this introductory report covers an enormous domain. Even if one limits oneself, as I intend to do, to the large-scale structure, it is impossible to summarize this adequately in one communication.

The Theory of Spiral Structure of Galaxies [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1970
A Landau-type instability mechanism for generating spiral waves is suggested.Two populations of stars, Populations I and II, are considered, the second one with mean rotational velocity zero. Then a dispersion relation is derived which is reduced to the Lin-Shu dispersion relation in the case of vanishing Population II. The amplification of the wave is
