Spin Parity of Spiral Galaxies. I. Corroborative Evidence for Trailing Spirals [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Whether the spiral structure of galaxies is trailing or leading has been a subject of debate. We present a new spin parity catalog of 146 spiral galaxies that lists the following three pieces of information: whether the spiral structure observed on the ...

Six spiral galaxies lacking dark matter [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDark matter is believed to be the essential building blocks of galaxy formation. While instances of galaxies lacking dark matter have been observed, these occurrences are typically linked to specific formation mechanisms, making them stand out as unique ...

Dawes Review 4: Spiral Structures in Disc Galaxies [PDF]
Publications Astronomical Society of Australia, 2014 The majority of astrophysics involves the study of spiral galaxies, and stars and planets within them, but how spiral arms in galaxies form and evolve is still a fundamental problem. Major progress in this field was made primarily in the 1960s, and early

A photometrically and spectroscopically confirmed population of passive spiral galaxies [PDF]
, 2016 We have identified a population of passive spiral galaxies from photometry and integral field spectroscopy. We selected z < 0.035 spiral galaxies that have WISE colours consistent with little mid-infrared emission from warm dust.

Updating the (Supermassive Black Hole Mass) - (Spiral Arm Pitch Angle) Relation: A Strong Correlation for Galaxies with Pseudobulges [PDF]
, 2017 We have conducted an image analysis of the (current) full sample of 44 spiral galaxies with directly measured supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses, $M_{\rm BH}$, to determine each galaxy's logarithmic spiral arm pitch angle, $\phi$. For predicting black

Planetary Nebulae and the Ionization of the Interstellar Medium in Galaxies
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 We discuss the role of planetary nebulae and their progeny in galaxy context in terms of ionization of the galaxy interstellar medium. This regards ionized gas outside the disk of spiral galaxies, the diffuse ionized medium in spiral galaxies, and the ...

Dark matter cores and cusps in spiral galaxies and their explanations [PDF]
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2019 We compare proposed solutions to the core vs cusp issue of spiral galaxies, which has also been framed as a diversity problem, and demonstrate that the cuspiness of dark matter halos is correlated with the stellar surface brightness.

Black Hole Mass Scaling Relations for Spiral Galaxies. I. MBH–M*,sph [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 The (supermassive black hole mass, MBH)–(bulge stellar mass, ) relation is, obviously, derived using two quantities. We endeavor to provide accurate values for the latter via detailed multicomponent galaxy decompositions for the current full sample of 43

Reanalysis of the Spin Direction Distribution of Galaxy Zoo SDSS Spiral Galaxies
Advances in Astronomy, 2023 The distribution of the spin directions of spiral galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey has been a topic of debate in the past two decades, with conflicting conclusions reported even in cases where the same data were used.
