The Link between Galaxy Structure Properties and Star Formation in Local Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
To investigate the role of morphology in galaxy evolution, we analyze the relationships between galaxy structure, star formation, and H i gas content.

MUSE Study of Two Giant Low-surface-brightness Galaxies with Compact Satellites

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Giant low-surface-brightness galaxies (gLSBGs) are rare objects with disk radii up to 160 kpc and dynamical masses of up to the order of 10 ^12 M _⊙ . Their very existence challenges currently accepted theories of galaxy formation and evolution, as it is

Resonant Friction on Disks in Galactic Nuclei

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We argue that resonant friction has a dramatic effect on a disk whose rotation direction is misaligned with that of its host nuclear star cluster. The disk’s gravity causes gravitational perturbation of the cluster that in turn exerts a strong torque ...

Do All the Quasars and High-excitation Radio Galaxies (HERGs) in the 3CRR Catalog Contain a Magnetically Arrested Disk (MAD)?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Based on the magnetization, an accretion disk with a large-scale magnetic field can be separated into either standard and normal evolution or magnetically arrested disk (MAD), which are difficult to identify from observations. It is still unclear whether

Gravitational Microlensing Influence on X-ray Radiation from Accretion Disk of Active Galaxies

open access: yes, 2006
Gravitational microlensing is a very useful tool for investigating the innermost part of lensed quasars, especially for studying a relativistic accretion disk around a massive black hole (BH) supposed to exist in a quasar's center. Here we present a short overview of our recent investigations in this field.

Gas accretion and counter-rotation in disk galaxies: N-body simulations of mergers with a dwarf galaxy

open access: yes
Dopo un'introduzione alla controrotazione nelle galassie a disco e al ruolo svolto a riguardo dalle fusioni con le galassie nane, presento il codice a N- corpi ChaNGa e mostro i risultati di un testo comparativo con un altro codice, gasoline. Infine, discuto i risultati di alcune simulazioni a N-corpi di fusioni tra una galassia a disco e una galassia ...

Mass accretion by the nuclei of disk galaxies

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1984
In this work a model has been proposed to explain how the nucleus of a Galaxy can accumulate mass and becomes supermassive — ultimately giving way to gravitational instability leading to an explosion in the nucleus. The process may be repeated many times during the life-span of a Galaxy.

Mass accretion by the nuclei of disk galaxies, II

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1985
Repeated explosions in the nuclei of galaxies are now accepted as observationally established phenomena. Each explosion leads to the ejection of gas from the central region of a galaxy with velocities depending on the strength of the explosive event. In the process the nucleus temporarily becomes gas-deficient.

Counterrotating Galaxies and Accretion Disks

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1998
ABSTRACT:Theoretical interest in astrophysical disks with counterrotating components of stars and/or gas has been stimulated by recently discovered counterrotating spiral and S0 galaxies. A variety of physical processes can occur in counterrotating disks.
