THE OPACITY OF SPIRAL GALAXY DISKS [PDF]
, 2007 The opacity of foreground spiral disks can be probed from the number of distant galaxies seen through them. To calibrate this number for effects other than the dust extinction, Gonzalez et al. (1998) developed the "Synthetic Field Method". A synthetic field is an extincted Hubble Deep Field added to the science field.

ULTRALIGHT SCALARS AND SPIRAL GALAXIES [PDF]
Modern Physics Letters A, 2001 We study some possible astrophysical implications of a very weakly coupled ultralight dilaton-type scalar field. Such a field may develop an (approximately stable) network of domain walls. The domain wall thickness is assumed to be comparable with the thickness of the luminous part of the spiral galaxies. The walls provide trapping for galactic matter.

Angular Momentum across the Hubble sequence from the CALIFA survey [PDF]
, 2014 We investigate the stellar angular momentum of galaxies across the Hubble sequence from the CALIFA survey. The distribution of CALIFA elliptical and lenticular galaxies in the $\lambda_{\rm Re}-\epsilon_{\rm e}$ diagram is consistent with that shown by ...

, 2023 Our vision of galaxies has changed significantly since the era of large galaxy surveys like the Sloan, which gave us extensive statistics with millions of galaxies. The Hubble sequence classification described in Chapter 1 still remains very widely used but has been enriched with broad categories based on color that indicate the recent formation of ...

Scalable Automated Detection of Spiral Galaxy Arm Segments
, 2014 Given an approximately centered image of a spiral galaxy, we describe an entirely automated method that finds, centers, and sizes the galaxy and then automatically extracts structural information about the spiral arms. For each arm segment found, we list

Discovery of a Nearby Low-Surface-Brightness Spiral Galaxy [PDF]
, 1998 During the course of a search for compact, isolated gas clouds moving with anomalous velocities in or near our own Galaxy (Braun and Burton 1998 A&A, in press), we have discovered, in the data of the Leiden/Dwingeloo survey (Hartmann and Burton 1997 ...

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 ...

Synthetic HI observations of a simulated spiral galaxy [PDF]
, 2010 Using the Torus radiative transfer code we produce synthetic observations of the 21 cm neutral hydrogen line from an SPH simulation of a spiral galaxy. The SPH representation of the galaxy is mapped onto an AMR grid, and a ray tracing method is used to ...
