The luminosity function of field galaxies

open access: yes, 2011
Schmidt's method for construction of luminosity function of galaxies is generalized by taking into account the dependence of density of galaxies from the distance in the near Universe.

Gravitational Instability of Gas–Dust Circumnuclear Disks in Galaxies

open access: yesGalaxies, 2023
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

CHARACTERISTICS OF SPIRAL ARMS IN LATE-TYPE GALAXIES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We have measured the positions of large numbers of H ii regions in four nearly face-on, late-type, spiral galaxies: NGC 628 (M74), NGC 1232, NGC 3184, and NGC 5194 (M51).

Exploring the evolution of spiral galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002
We have constructed a family of simple models for spiral galaxy evolution to allow us to investigate observational trends in star formation history with galaxy parameters. The models are used to generate broad band colours from which ages and metallicities are derived in the same way as the data.

The rotation curves shapes of late-type dwarf galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present rotation curves derived for a sample of 62 late-type dwarf galaxies that have been observed as part of the Westerbork HI Survey of Spiral and Irregular Galaxies (WHISP) project.

Extragalactic Magnetism with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program). V. First Results on the Magnetic Field Orientation of Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present the analysis of the magnetic field ( B -field) structure of galaxies measured with far-infrared (FIR) and radio (3 and 6 cm) polarimetric observations.

THE DISCOVERY OF SEVEN EXTREMELY LOW SURFACE BRIGHTNESS GALAXIES IN THE FIELD OF THE NEARBY SPIRAL GALAXY M101 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Dwarf satellite galaxies are a key probe of dark matter and of galaxy formation on small scales and of the dark matter halo masses of their central galaxies.

Dark Matter in Spiral Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1995
In this review I will concentrate on three questions concerning the issue of dark matter in spiral galaxies. In the first place (and for the most part) I will discuss the analysis of rotation curves and the question whether the “maximum–disk hypothesis” is valid.

ON THE FRACTION OF BARRED SPIRAL GALAXIES [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2010
We investigate the stellar masses of strongly barred spiral galaxies. Our analysis is based on a sample of ~14000 visually-classified nearby galaxies given in Nair & Abraham 2010(a). The fraction of barred spiral galaxies is found to be a strong function of stellar mass and star formation history, with a minimum near the characteristic mass at ...

The Identification of a Dusty Multiarm Spiral Galaxy at z = 3.06 with JWST and ALMA

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022
Spiral arms serve crucial purposes in star formation and galaxy evolution. In this paper, we report the identification of “A2744-DSG- z 3,” a dusty, multiarm spiral galaxy at z = 3.059 using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRISS imaging and grism ...
