100 Proof: H i Observations of 100 Nearby Dwarf Galaxies with the 100 m Green Bank Telescope

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We describe the results of observations with the 100 m Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope in the H i line of 105 nearby dwarf galaxies, 60 of which were discovered recently in the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys.

The Schmidt Law at High Molecular Densities

open access: yes, 2005
We have combined Halpha and recent high resolution CO(J=1-0) data to consider the quantitative relation between gas mass and star formation rate, or the so-called Schmidt law in nearby spiral galaxies at regions of high molecular density.

Star Formation in the Lopsided Galaxy Arp 291

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We have investigated the star formation process taking place in the lopsided galaxy Arp 291, based on narrowband images in the H α , [N ii ] λ 6583, and [O iii ] λ 5007 emission lines, obtained using the modern tunable photometer MaNGaL at the Caucasus ...

Very large spiral galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1983
As a first step in the systematic study of large spirals, which may be useful in cosmological tests and studies of galaxy evolution, a catalog of the 107 largest known spiral galaxies is presented. Catalog galaxies have isophotal diameters greater than 90 kpc, assuming an H(zero) value of 50 km/sec per Mpc.

Spiral Structure Properties, Dynamics, and Evolution in Milky Way–mass Galaxy Simulations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The structure of spiral galaxies is essential to understanding the dynamics and evolution of disk galaxies; however, the precise nature of spiral arms remains uncertain.

Dust Deficiency in the Interacting Galaxy NGC 3077

open access: yesGalaxies, 2017
Using 70 μ m observations taken with the PACS instrument of the Herschel space telescope, the dust content of the nearby and interacting spiral galaxy NGC 3077 has been compared with the dust content of the isolated galaxies such as NGC 2841, NGC ...

Comparison of physical characteristics of mass and luminosity function of disk systems in barred and unbarred spiral galaxies

open access: yesمجلة بغداد للعلوم
Among the most important ways to investigate galaxies' distribution over cosmic time is the luminosity function LF in terms of baryonic disc mass ψS(Mb), magnitude  .

Outskirts of spiral galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2016
AbstractI present an overview of the recent star formation activity in the outer disks of spiral galaxies, from the observational standpoint, with emphasis on the gas content, the star formation law, the metallicity and the stellar populations.

Conditions for Bar Formation in Bulgeless Disk Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
While bars are commonly observed in disk galaxies, the precise conditions governing their formation remain incompletely understood. To investigate these conditions, we perform a suite of N -body simulations of bulgeless disk galaxies with stellar masses ...

Reduction of the Bar Fraction in Paired Galaxies in the SDSS

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the bar fraction in galaxy pairs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to assess how galaxy interactions affect bar structures. Compared to isolated galaxies, close pairs exhibit a significantly reduced bar fraction at projected separations ...
