Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2022 Spirals in galaxies have long been thought to be caused by gravitational instability in the stellar component of the disk, but discerning the precise mechanism had proved elusive. Tidal interactions, and perhaps bars, may provoke some spiral responses, but spirals in many galaxies must be self-excited.

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).

Lopsided spiral galaxies [PDF]
Physics Reports, 2009 The light distribution in the disks of many galaxies is non-axisymmetric or `lopsided' with a spatial extent much larger along one half of a galaxy than the other, as in M101. Recent near-IR observations show that lopsidedness is common. The stellar disks in nearly 30 % of galaxies have significant lopsidedness, greater than 10 % measured as the ...

Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 2011 We study the role of asymptotic curves in supporting the spiral structure of a N-body model simulating a barred spiral galaxy. Chaotic orbits with initial conditions on the unstable asymptotic curves of the main unstable periodic orbits follow the shape of the periodic orbits for an initial interval of time and then they are diffused outwards ...

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.

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 ...

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1970 We point out some properties of barred spiral galaxies which are important for the theory of their formation and spiral structure, and describe some theoretical work on the dynamics of these systems.

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 ...

ON THE FRACTION OF BARRED SPIRAL GALAXIES [PDF]
The 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 introduction of baryon string in the model of spiral galaxies structure [PDF]
Компьютерные исследования и моделирование, 2012 It proposes a new alternative approach to explain the flat spectrum of the velocity for stars orbital motion on the periphery of spiral galaxies. In particular, that velocity significant excess of speed calculated according to the virial theorem.
