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

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 ...

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.

Rectangular Spiral Galaxies are still hard
Computational Geometry, 2023 Spiral Galaxies is a pencil-and-paper puzzle played on a grid of unit squares: given a set of points called centers, the goal is to partition the grid into polyominoes such that each polyomino contains exactly one center and is 180° rotationally symmetric about its center.

PKS 1830-211: A Face-On Spiral Galaxy Lens [PDF]
, 2002 We present new Hubble Space Telescope images of the gravitational lens PKS 1830-211, which allow us to characterize the lens galaxy and update the determination of the Hubble constant from this system.

Spiral Galaxies as Chiral Objects? [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2006 Spiral galaxies show axial symmetry and an intrinsic 2D-chirality. Environmental effects can influence the chirality of originally isolated stellar systems and a progressive loss of chirality can be recognised in the Hubble sequence. We point out a preferential modality for genetic galaxies as in microscopic systems like aminoacids, sugars or neutrinos.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 Mergers are thought to be a fundamental channel for galaxy growth, perturbing the gas dynamics and the magnetic fields ( B -fields) in the interstellar medium (ISM).

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

A Dynamic Galaxy: Stellar Age Patterns across the Disk of M101
The Astrophysical JournalUsing deep, narrowband imaging of the nearby spiral galaxy M101, we present stellar age information across the full extent of the disk of M101. Our narrowband filters measure age-sensitive absorption features such as the Balmer lines and the slope of the
