The Role of Spiral Arms in Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
We test the influence of spiral arms on the star formation activity of disk galaxies by constructing and fitting multiwavelength spectral energy distributions for the two nearby spiral galaxies NGC 628 and NGC 4321, at a spatial scale of 1–1.5 kpc ...

Identification of Intermediate-mass Black Hole Candidates among a Sample of Sd Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
We analyzed images of every northern hemisphere Sd galaxy listed in the Third Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies with a relatively face-on inclination ( θ ≤ 30°). Specifically, we measured the spiral arms’ winding angle, ϕ , in 85 galaxies.

Spiral galaxies

, 1995
This thesis deals with surface photometry of face-on spiral galaxies in a statistical way, using both single passband as well as color information of a large sample of galaxies. In this chapter I first discuss galaxy formation and evolution models and the role that photometry plays in testing these models.

Escaping Ionizing Photons from Massive Spiral Galaxies at z ∼ 1

The Astrophysical Journal
We report the detection of Lyman continuum (LyC) photons from three massive ( M _* > 10 ^10 M _⊙ ) spiral galaxies at a redshift of nearly 1 in the AstroSat UV Deep Field South.

Examination of the Functional Form of the Light and Mass Distribution in Spiral Arms

Galaxies
Spiral arms are a common feature of local galaxies, but the exact form of the distribution of mass and light in them is not well known. In this work, we aim to measure this distribution as accurately as possible, focusing on individual spiral arms and ...

Spirality: A Novel Way to Measure Spiral Arm Pitch Angle

, 2016
We present the MATLAB code Spirality, a novel method for measuring spiral arm pitch angles by fitting galaxy images to spiral templates of known pitch. Computation time is typically on the order of 2 minutes per galaxy, assuming at least 8 GB of working ...

After 54 Yr of Bar Instability Studies: A Fresh Surprise

The Astrophysical Journal
The well-known bar instability of rotationally supported disk galaxy models has been studied extensively since its first discovery over half a century ago.
