Supernovae and molecular clouds in spiral galaxies

open access: yes, 2001
We report N-body simulations of the birthrate and distribution of supernovae in spiral galaxies. The simulations assume that stars form in GMCs with mass greater than 10(5) Mcircle dot and that a Miller-Scalo IMF results.

Polarimetric Observations of Spiral Galaxies

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1967
The extragalactic systems NCC 3031, NCC 4594, NGC 5194, and NGC 5457 have been observed polarimetrically. Linear polarization between 0.1 and 1.0 percent was detected in the spiral arms of all four galaxies. The planes of vibration indicate that reflection as well as interstellar absorption of starlight by the internal dust clouds of the observed ...

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  .

The formation of molecular clouds in spiral galaxies

open access: yes, 2007
Molecular clouds are imperative to astronomy as the sites of all known star formation. The problem of how molecular clouds are formed in spiral galaxies is approached numerically, by modelling the response of a gas disk to a spiral potential.

Radial Distributions of Star Formation and Gas-phase Metallicity in Spiral–Elliptical Galaxy Pairs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Using integral-field spectroscopy from the fourth-generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory, we investigate the radial distributions of the star formation rates (SFRs) and gas-phase metallicities in spiral ...

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 ...
