The profiles of bars in spiral galaxies
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT We present an analysis of major-axis surface-brightness profiles of bars in a volume-limited sample of 182 barred spiral galaxies, using Spitzer 3.6 $\mu$m images. Unlike most previous studies, we use the entire bar profile, and we classify profiles into four categories.

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.

Molecular Clouds in Spiral Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1983 A large observational program investigating the 2.6 mm CO line in spiral galaxies is being conducted by myself and Nick Scoville using the 14 m telescope of the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory (HPBW = 50″). Thus far we have observed 46 galaxies of types Sa, Sb, Sc and Irr, detected 31, and mapped 16.

Zoom-in cosmological hydrodynamical simulation of a star-forming barred, spiral galaxy at redshift z=2 [PDF]
, 2019 Accepted for publication in MNRASWe present gas and stellar kinematics of a high-resolution zoom-in cosmological chemodynamical simulation, which fortuitously captures the formation and evolution of a star-forming barred spiral galaxy, from redshift $z ...

The first detection of Far-Infrared emission associated with an extended HI disk. The case of NGC 891 [PDF]
, 2003 Spiral galaxies in the Local Universe are commonly observed to be embedded in extended disks of neutral hydrogen - the so called ``extended HI disks''.

, 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 ...

The HI Halo of Spiral Galaxies
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2004 The results of observational studies on the vertical HI density distribution and kinematics of the disks of spiral galaxies are reported and discussed. Attention is drawn to the presence of HI emission, unknown before and here referred to as the `beard', which has anomalous structure and kinematics, different from the known cold HI disk. This component

The optical polarization of spiral galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2000 Scattering of starlight by dust, molecules and electrons in spiral galaxies will produce a modification of the direct intensity and a polarization in the observed light. We treat the case where the distribution of scatterers can be considered to be optically thin, and derive semi-analytic expressions for the resolved intensity and polarized intensity ...
