The present-day galaxy population in spiral galaxies [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009 Although there are many more stellar population studies of elliptical and lenticular galaxies, studies of spiral galaxies are catching up, due to higher signal to noise data on one hand, and better analysis methods on the other. Here I start by discussing some modern methods of analyzing integrated spectra of spiral galaxies, and comparing them with ...

Disk Galaxy Models Driven by Stochastic Self-Propagating Star Formation
Open Astronomy, 2010 We present a model of chemical and spectrophotometric evolution of disk galaxies based on a stochastic self-propagating star formation scenario. The model incorporates galaxy formation through the process of accretion, chemical and photometric evolution ...

The Ghost of a Dwarf Galaxy: Fossils of the Hierarchical Formation of the Nearby Spiral Galaxy NGC 5907 [PDF]
, 2008 We present an extragalactic perspective of an extended stellar tidal stream wrapping around the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 5907. Our deep images reveal for the first time a large-scale complex of arcing loops that is an excellent example of how low-mass ...

Leading Wave as a Component of the Spiral Pattern of the Galaxy
, 2005 The spiral pattern of the Galaxy identified by analyzing the kinematics of young stars within 3 kpc of the Sun is Fourier decomposed into spiral harmonics.

Star formation and ISM morphology in tidally induced spiral structures [PDF]
, 2017 Tidal encounters are believed to be one of the key drivers of galactic spiral structure in the Universe. Such spirals are expected to produce different morphological and kinematic features compared to density wave and dynamic spiral arms. In this work we

AN EXTENDED STAR CLUSTER AT THE OUTER EDGE OF THE SPIRAL GALAXY M 33 [PDF]
, 2008 We report the discovery of an extended globular-like star cluster, M 33-EC1, at the outer edge of the spiral galaxy M 33. The distance to the cluster is 890 kpc, and it lies at a projected distance of 12.5 kpc from the center of M 33.

The Curious Case of NGC6908 [PDF]
, 2007 The object NGC6908 was once thought to be simply a surface-brightness enhancement in the eastern spiral arm of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC6907. Based on an examination of near-infrared imaging, the object is shown in fact to be a lenticular S0(6/7 ...

The 3-Dimensional Structure of NGC 891 and M51
, 2012 We investigate the three-dimensional structure of the nearby edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 891 using 3D Monte Carlo radiative transfer models, with realistic spiral structure and fractally clumped dust.
