Shape of the oxygen abundance profiles in CALIFA face-on spiral galaxies [PDF]
, 2016 We measured the gas abundance profiles in a sample of 122 face-on spiral galaxies observed by the CALIFA survey and included all spaxels whose line emission was consistent with star formation.

THE DRAGONFLY NEARBY GALAXIES SURVEY. I. SUBSTANTIAL VARIATION IN THE DIFFUSE STELLAR HALOS AROUND SPIRAL GALAXIES [PDF]
, 2016 Galaxies are thought to grow through accretion; as less massive galaxies are disrupted and merge over time, their debris results in diffuse, clumpy stellar halos enveloping the central galaxy. Here we present a study of the variation in the stellar halos

Rotation and Mass in the Milky Way and Spiral Galaxies [PDF]
, 2016 [PASJ Review Paper] Rotation curves are the basic tool for deriving the distribution of mass in spiral galaxies. In this review, we describe various methods to measure rotation curves in the Milky Way and spiral galaxies.

The Circum-Galactic Medium of Massive Spirals. II. Probing the Nature of Hot Gaseous Halo around the Most Massive Isolated Spiral Galaxies [PDF]
, 2017 We present the analysis of the XMM-Newton data of the Circum-Galactic Medium of MASsive Spirals (CGM-MASS) sample of six extremely massive spiral galaxies in the local universe.

Measuring the Spin of Spiral Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 We compute the angular momentum, the spin parameter and the related distribution function for Dark Matter halos hosting a spiral galaxy. We base on scaling laws, inferred from observations, that link the properties of the galaxy to those of the host halo; we further assume that the Dark Matter has the same total specific angular momentum of the baryons.

Open Astronomy, 2020 Previous observations of a large number of galaxies show differences between the photometry of spiral galaxies with clockwise spin patterns and spiral galaxies with counterclockwise spin patterns.

Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): stellar mass growth of spiral galaxies in the cosmic web [PDF]
, 2016 We look for correlated changes in stellar mass and star formation rate (SFR) along filaments in the cosmic web by examining the stellar masses and UV-derived SFRs of 1799 ungrouped and unpaired spiral galaxies that reside in filaments. We devise multiple

A Comparison of the Simulations and Observations for a Nearby Spiral Arm
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 The analysis is focused on the ability of galactic open clusters to trace the spiral arms, based on the recent data releases from Gaia. For this, a simple 1D description of the motion of spiral arms and clusters is introduced.

Angular Momentum across the Hubble sequence from the CALIFA survey [PDF]
, 2014 We investigate the stellar angular momentum of galaxies across the Hubble sequence from the CALIFA survey. The distribution of CALIFA elliptical and lenticular galaxies in the $\lambda_{\rm Re}-\epsilon_{\rm e}$ diagram is consistent with that shown by ...
