Tracing the Spiral Structure of the Outer Milky Way with Dense Atomic Hydrogen Gas

open access: yes, 2017
We present a new face-on map of dense neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) gas in the outer Galaxy. Our map has been produced from the Leiden/Argentine/Bonn (LAB) HI 21-cm line all-sky survey by finding intensity maxima along every line of sight and then by ...

Identification of Intermediate-mass Black Hole Candidates among a Sample of Sd Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We analyzed images of every northern hemisphere Sd galaxy listed in the Third Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies with a relatively face-on inclination ( θ ≤ 30°). Specifically, we measured the spiral arms’ winding angle, ϕ , in 85 galaxies.

Study photometric properties of spiral galaxy NGC 4448 using CCD camera with multiband filters

open access: yesIraqi Journal of Physics, 2018
The goal of our study is to perform detailed multiband surface photometry of the spiral galaxy NGC 4448 and its brightest star-forming regions. The structure and composition of the stellar population in the surface brightness galaxy NGC 4448 was studied

Photometric structure of the peculiar galaxy ESO 235-G58

open access: yes, 2004
We present the near-infrared and optical properties of the peculiar galaxy ESO 235-G58, which resembles a late-type ringed barred spiral seen close to face-on.

The Impacts of Bars, Spirals, and Bulge Size on Gas-phase Metallicity Gradients in MaNGA Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
As galaxies evolve over time, the orbits of their constituent stars are expected to change in size and shape, moving stars away from their birth radius. Radial gas flows are also expected. Spiral arms and bars in galaxies are predicted to help drive this

Forces Attributed to Dark Matter May Originate from Entangled Particles as Seen in the Shape Of Galaxies Formed by Grbs

open access: yesInternational Journal of Engineering and Management Sciences, 2018
Recently, it has been suggested that entangled particles may be connected by a wormhole. If that is right, what is the distance between them we have to take into account when applying Newton's law of universal gravitation to these particles?

Grand Design versus Multiarmed Spiral Galaxies: Dependence on Galaxy Structure

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We developed an algorithm to use Galaxy Zoo 3D spiral arm masks produced by citizen scientist volunteers to semiautomatically classify spiral galaxies as either multiarmed or grand design spirals. Our final sample consists of 299 multiarmed and 245 grand

Formation of Spiral Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1977
Conventionally, two major components of spiral galaxies are distinguished: (1) a “spheroidal component”, which includes the central bulge and the surrounding halo, and (2) a “disc component”, which is basically flat and circular but is often warped at the edges. Other structures, such as bars or rings, may also be present, but they are probably of less
