The properties of Low Surface Brightness galaxies [PDF]

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2002
A description is given of the samples of Low Surface Brightness galaxies (LSBs) used for comparison with models of their chemical and spectro-photometric evolution (Boissier et al., this Volume).

H i Observations of Giant Low Surface Brightness Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
Giant low surface brightness (gLSB) galaxies are galaxies with extremely extended, faint, optical disks over 50 kpc in radius and have high total masses, which can reach 10 ^12 M _⊙ .

Normal Globular Cluster Systems in Massive Low Surface Brightness Galaxies [PDF]

, 2007
We present the results of a study of the globular cluster systems of 6 massive spiral galaxies, originally cataloged as low surface brightness galaxies but here shown to span a wide range of central surface brightness values, including two intermediate ...

Properties of Nuclear Star Clusters in Low Surface Brightness Galaxies [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal
Using the Systematically Measuring Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies and Sloan Digital Sky Survey catalogs and our own reprocessing of the Legacy Survey imaging, we investigate the properties of nuclear star clusters (NSCs) in galaxies having central surface ...

Giant Low Surface Brightness Galaxies : Evolution in Isolation [PDF]

Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy, 2013
Giant Low Surface Brightness (GLSB) galaxies are amongst the most massive spiral galaxies that we know of in our Universe. Although they fall in the class of late type spiral galaxies, their properties are far more extreme.

Low Surface Brightness Galaxies and the Field Galaxy Luminosity Function [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1996
We have developed a catalog of local low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) which is selected by objective criteria. We present here a luminosity function (LF) for LSBGs based on that catalog. This LF includes the effects of the completeness corrections to the LSBG catalog, and includes only galaxies with surface brightnesses (22.25 ≤ μB(0) ≤ 24.5 ...

HI Observations of Giant Low Surface Brightness Galaxies [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2000
We have used the Nancay Radio Telescope to obtain new global HI data for 16 giant low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. Our targets have optical luminosities and disk scale lengths at the high end for spiral galaxies (L_B~10^10 Lsun and h_r>~6 kpc for ...

Low Surface Brightness Galaxies [PDF]

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2004
▪ Abstract  The properties of galaxies that are lower in surface brightness than the dark night sky are reviewed. There are substantial selection effects against the discovery of galaxies that are unevolved or diffuse; these systems are missing from most wide field catalogs. Low surface brightness galaxies make up a significant amount of the luminosity

Structure and Color Gradients of Ultradiffuse Galaxies in Distant Massive Galaxy Clusters

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We have measured structural parameters and radial color profiles of 108 ultradiffuse galaxies (UDGs), carefully selected from six distant massive galaxy clusters in the Hubble Frontier Fields (HFF) in a redshift range from 0.308 to 0.545.
