SPIN ALIGNMENTS OF SPIRAL GALAXIES WITHIN THE LARGE-SCALE STRUCTURE FROM SDSS DR7 [PDF]
Using a sample of spiral galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 and Galaxy Zoo 2, we investigate the alignment of spin axes of spiral galaxies with their surrounding large-scale structure, which is characterized by the large ...

The HI Halo of Spiral Galaxies
The results of observational studies on the vertical HI density distribution and kinematics of the disks of spiral galaxies are reported and discussed. Attention is drawn to the presence of HI emission, unknown before and here referred to as the `beard', which has anomalous structure and kinematics, different from the known cold HI disk. This component

The optical polarization of spiral galaxies [PDF]
Scattering of starlight by dust, molecules and electrons in spiral galaxies will produce a modification of the direct intensity and a polarization in the observed light. We treat the case where the distribution of scatterers can be considered to be optically thin, and derive semi-analytic expressions for the resolved intensity and polarized intensity ...

Mass of Spiral Galaxies by Means of a Maximum Disc Model
Maximum disc mass models for a set of spiral galaxies from the Ursa Major Cluster are presented. We construct the models using the Hunther method and the particular solutions are chosen in such away that the circular velocities are adjusted very ...

THE BLACK HOLE MASS FUNCTION DERIVED FROM LOCAL SPIRAL GALAXIES [PDF]
We present our determination of the nuclear supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass function for spiral galaxies in the local universe, established from a volume-limited sample consisting of a statistically complete collection of the brightest spiral ...

A Catalog of Photometric Redshift and the Distribution of Broad Galaxy Morphologies
We created a catalog of photometric redshift of ∼3,000,000 SDSS galaxies annotated by their broad morphology. The photometric redshift was optimized by testing and comparing several pattern recognition algorithms and variable selection strategies, and ...

Gravitational Instability of Gas–Dust Circumnuclear Disks in Galaxies
We numerically study the origin of the multi-armed spiral structure observed in the circumnuclear gaseous mini-disks of nearby galaxies. We show that the presence of dust in such disks and its interaction with the gravitationally stable gaseous component

Uncovering Spiral Structure in Flocculent Galaxies [PDF]
We present K'(2.1 micron) observations of four nearby flocculent spirals, which clearly show low-level spiral structure and suggest that kiloparsec-scale spiral structure is more prevalent in flocculent spirals than previously supposed.
