The dust energy balance in the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4565 [PDF]
, 2012 We combine new dust continuum observations of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4565 in all Herschel/Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (250, 350 and 500 mu m) wavebands, obtained as part of the Herschel Reference Survey, and a large set of ancillary ...

METALLICITY GRADIENT OF A LENSED FACE-ON SPIRAL GALAXY AT REDSHIFT 1.49 [PDF]
, 2011 We present the first metallicity gradient measurement for a grand-design face-on spiral galaxy at z ∼ 1.5. This galaxy has been magnified by a factor of 22× by a massive, X-ray luminous galaxy cluster MACS J1149.5+2223 at z = 0.544. Using the Laser Guide

SpArcFiRe: Enhancing Spiral Galaxy Recognition Using Arm Analysis and Random Forests
Galaxies, 2018 Automated quantification of galaxy morphology is necessary because the size of upcoming sky surveys will overwhelm human volunteers. Existing classification schemes are inadequate because (a) their uncertainty increases near the boundary of classes and ...

The large scale magnetic field structure of the spiral galaxy NGC 5775 [PDF]
, 2011 In order to better determine the large-scale 3D-structure of magnetic fields in spiral galaxies we present a Faraday rotation analysis of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 5775.

DETECTION OF A HOT GASEOUS HALO AROUND THE GIANT SPIRAL GALAXY NGC 1961 [PDF]
, 2011 Hot gaseous halos are predicted around all large galaxies and are critically important for our understanding of galaxy formation, but they have never been detected at distances beyond a few kpc around a spiral galaxy.

Ram pressure stripping of the multiphase ISM and star formation in the Virgo spiral galaxy NGC 4330 [PDF]
, 2011 It has been shown that the Virgo spiral galaxy NGC 4330 shows signs of ongoing ram pressure stripping in multiple wavelengths: at the leading edge of the interaction, the Halpha and dust extinction curve sharply out of the disk; on the trailing side, a ...

XMM-NEWTON DETECTS A HOT GASEOUS HALO IN THE FASTEST ROTATING SPIRAL GALAXY UGC 12591 [PDF]
, 2011 We present our XMM-Newton observation of the fastest rotating spiral galaxy UGC 12591. We detect hot gas halo emission out to 80 kpc from the galaxy center, and constrain the halo gas mass to be smaller than 4.5 × 1011 M☉. We also measure the temperature

Dwarf spheroidal galaxy kinematics and spiral galaxy scaling laws [PDF]
, 2011 Kinematic surveys of the dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellites of the Milky Way are revealing tantalising hints about the structure of dark matter (DM) haloes at the low-mass end of the galaxy luminosity function.

The SWELLS survey – II. Breaking the disc–halo degeneracy in the spiral galaxy gravitational lens SDSS J2141−0001 [PDF]
, 2011 The degeneracy among the disc, bulge and halo contributions to galaxy rotation curves prevents an understanding of the distribution of baryons and dark matter in disc galaxies.

EXTRAGALACTIC CHEMICAL ABUNDANCES: DO H ii REGIONS AND YOUNG STARS TELL THE SAME STORY? THE CASE OF THE SPIRAL GALAXY NGC 300 [PDF]
, 2009 We have obtained new spectrophotometric data for 28 H ii regions in the spiral galaxy NGC 300, a member of the nearby Sculptor Group. The detection of several auroral lines, including [O iii] λ4363, [S iii] λ6312, and [N ii] λ5755, has allowed us to ...
