SUPERLUMINOUS SPIRAL GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT We report the discovery of spiral galaxies that are as optically luminous as elliptical brightest cluster galaxies, with r-band monochromatic luminosity L r = 8–14L* (4.3–7.5 × 1044 erg s−1).

Galaxy Zoo: dust in spiral galaxies★ [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2010 We investigate the effect of dust on spiral galaxies by measuring the inclination-dependence of optical colours for 24,276 well-resolved SDSS galaxies visually classified in Galaxy Zoo. We find clear trends of reddening with inclination which imply a total extinction from face-on to edge-on of 0.7, 0.6, 0.5 and 0.4 magnitudes for the ugri passbands. We

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView., 2023 Let us consider an alternative perspective on climate change: The sum of solar radiation and heat generated by human activity result in a net energy input of 1.96 times that of the Sun on the Earth's surface. The expanding global population is expected to exacerbate this issue. Potential solutions are proposed, including replacement and heat recycling.

Formation of a Massive Lenticular Galaxy Under the Tidal Interaction with a Group of Dwarf Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Based on the atomic-hydrogen (H i ) observations using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope, we present a detailed study of the gas-rich massive S0 galaxy NGC 1023 in a nearby galaxy group.

Universe, 2021 Double-spiral galaxies are common in the Universe. It is known that the logarithmic double spiral is a Maximum Entropy geometry in hyperbolic (flat) spacetime that well represents an idealised spiral galaxy, with its central supermassive black hole (SMBH)

Reanalysis of the Spin Direction Distribution of Galaxy Zoo SDSS Spiral Galaxies
Advances in Astronomy, 2023 The distribution of the spin directions of spiral galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey has been a topic of debate in the past two decades, with conflicting conclusions reported even in cases where the same data were used.

Measuring the Spin of Spiral Galaxies [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 We compute the angular momentum, the spin parameter and the related distribution function for Dark Matter halos hosting a spiral galaxy. We base on scaling laws, inferred from observations, that link the properties of the galaxy to those of the host halo; we further assume that the Dark Matter has the same total specific angular momentum of the baryons.

A Comparison of Supermassive Black Hole Mass of NGC 4151 Using Different Methods
Passer Journal, 2020 We found a new value of supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass in the middle of type 1 Seyfert, NGC 4151 galaxy. In this Study, the image of NGC 4151 galaxy was deprojected to face-on, using spiral galaxy of face-on, and applied IRAF to calculate the ...

On the Encounter between the GASP Galaxy JO36 and the Radio Plume of GIN 049
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We report the serendipitous discovery of an unprecedented interaction between the radio lobe of a radio galaxy and a spiral galaxy. The discovery was made thanks to LOFAR observations at 144 MHz of the galaxy cluster A160 ( z = 0.04317) provided by the ...
