On the Extended Knotted Disks of Galaxies [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2007 The stellar disks of many spiral galaxies are twice as large as generally thought. We use archival data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer mission (GALEX) to quantify the statistical properties of young stellar clusters in the outer, extended disks of a sample of eleven nearby galaxies.

Galaxies, 2015 I discuss my latest observational data and ideas about decoupled gaseous subsystems in nearby lenticular galaxies. As an extreme case of inclined gaseous disks, I demonstrate a sample of inner polar disks, derive their incidence, about 10% among the ...

THE PARKER INSTABILITY IN DISK GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 ABSTRACT We examine the evolution of the Parker instability in galactic disks using 3D numerical simulations. We consider a local Cartesian box section of a galactic disk, where gas, magnetic fields, and cosmic rays are all initially in a magnetohydrostatic equilibrium. This is done for different choices of initial cosmic-ray density and

Similar Signatures of Coplanar Gas Inflow and Disk Warps in Galactic Gas Kinematic Maps
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Hydrodynamic simulations suggest that galactic gas disks form when coplanar gas spirals into the inner regions of the disk. We recently presented a simple modified accretion disk model of viscous galactic disks in which star formation is fed by a radial ...

The evolution of disk galaxies in clusters [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2002 We are carrying out a programme to measure the evolution of the stellar and dynamical masses and M/L ratios for a sizeable sample of morphologically-classified disk galaxies in rich galaxy clusters at 0 ...

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 In this contribution, we will present two results we have recently obtained in studying the impact of satellite(s) accretions on stellar disks, and that concern: (1) the distribution of the eccentricities of stars in thick disks; (2) the characteristics ...

Understanding the Fundamental Plane and the Tully Fisher Relation
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020 The relation between early type galaxy size, surface brightness and velocity dispersion, “the fundamental plane,” has long been understood as resulting from equilibrium in their largely pressure supported stellar dynamics.

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 In our Galaxy, star formation occurs in a variety of environments, with a large fraction of stars formed in clusters hosting massive stars. OB stars have an important feedback on the evolution of protoplanetary disks orbiting around nearby young stars ...

The Chemodynamics of the Stellar Populations in M31 from APOGEE Integrated-light Spectroscopy
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present an analysis of nearly 1000 near-infrared, integrated-light spectra from APOGEE in the inner ∼7 kpc of M31. We utilize full-spectrum fitting with A-LIST simple stellar population spectral templates that represent a population of stars with the ...
