Spin Parity of Spiral Galaxies. I. Corroborative Evidence for Trailing Spirals
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 ...

The mass distribution in Spiral galaxies [PDF]
EAS Publications Series, 2009 In the past years a wealth of observations has unraveled the structural properties of the Dark and Luminous mass distribution in spirals. These have pointed out to an intriguing scenario not easily explained by present theories of galaxy formation. The investigation of individual and coadded objects has shown that the spiral rotation curves follow ...

Spiral galaxies in the SAURON survey [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007 AbstractWe discuss some recent integral field spectroscopy using the SAURON instrument of a sample consisting of 24 early-type spirals, part of the SAURON Survey, and 18 late-type spirals. Using 2-dimensional maps of their stellar radial velocity, velocity dispersion, and absorption line strength, it is now much easier to understand the nature of ...

Spiral Galaxies as Chiral Objects? [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2006 Spiral galaxies show axial symmetry and an intrinsic 2D-chirality. Environmental effects can influence the chirality of originally isolated stellar systems and a progressive loss of chirality can be recognised in the Hubble sequence. We point out a preferential modality for genetic galaxies as in microscopic systems like aminoacids, sugars or neutrinos.

Star clusters in unperturbed spiral galaxies [PDF]
, 2008 Stars do not form in isolation, they form in groups known as star clusters. Star clusters are seen in a wide range of galaxies and environments. Their presence reveals the history of the host galaxy and the processes of its star formation.

The profiles of bars in spiral galaxies
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT We present an analysis of major-axis surface-brightness profiles of bars in a volume-limited sample of 182 barred spiral galaxies, using Spitzer 3.6 $\mu$m images. Unlike most previous studies, we use the entire bar profile, and we classify profiles into four categories.

Near-Infrared Surface Photometry of Bulges and Disks of Spiral Galaxies : The Data [PDF]
, 1997 : We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) surface brightness and colour profiles,in bands ranging from U to K, for the disk and bulge components of a complete sample of 30 nearby S0 to Sbc galaxies with inclinations larger than 50 degrees. We describe

THE OPACITY OF SPIRAL GALAXY DISKS [PDF]
, 2007 The opacity of foreground spiral disks can be probed from the number of distant galaxies seen through them. To calibrate this number for effects other than the dust extinction, Gonzalez et al. (1998) developed the "Synthetic Field Method". A synthetic field is an extincted Hubble Deep Field added to the science field.

NUMERICAL MODELLING OF GAS DYNAMIC STRUCTURES IN SPIRAL GALAXIES
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2013 Observations show that in the global morphology of spiral galaxies appear and form multi-scale features that are embedded in a complex complete picture of the galaxy.
