A New Statistical Analysis of the Morphology of Spiral Galaxies
The Astronomical JournalMorphology is the starting point for understanding galaxies. Elmegreen et al. classified spiral galaxies into flocculent, multiple-arm, and grand-design galaxies based on the regularity of their spiral arm structure.

Dust Deficiency in the Interacting Galaxy NGC 3077
Galaxies, 2017 Using 70 μ m observations taken with the PACS instrument of the Herschel space telescope, the dust content of the nearby and interacting spiral galaxy NGC 3077 has been compared with the dust content of the isolated galaxies such as NGC 2841, NGC ...

Mass extinction and the structure of the milky way [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2013 We use the most up-to-date Milky Way model and solar orbit data in order to test the hypothesis that the Sun's galactic spiral arm crossings cause mass extinction events on Earth. To do this, we created a new model of the Milky Way's spiral arms

Annalen der Physik, EarlyView.The BRST invariant Lagrangian of the gravitationally interacting U(1)$U(1)$ gauge theory, namely the Quantum GraviElectro Dynamics (QGED). The Yan–Mills theory with the Hilbert–Einstein gravitational Lagrangian, namely the Yang–Mills–Utiyama (YMU) theory, is defined and quantised using the standard procedure. The theory is perturbatively renormalisable,

Spiral Structure of Our Galaxy and of Other Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1970 Time and again Dr. B. Bok publishes his reviews on the state of optical searches of the spiral arms in our Galaxy. A great optimist at the beginning, concerning the agreement of different results, he became later more critical in his conclusions. But in his paper of 1967 he claims anew, as well established, that we can trace the spiral arms up to a ...

Spiral galaxies in the SAURON survey [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007 AbstractWe discuss some recent integral field spectroscopy using the SAURON instrument of a sample consisting of 24 early-type spirals, part of the SAURON Survey, and 18 late-type spirals. Using 2-dimensional maps of their stellar radial velocity, velocity dispersion, and absorption line strength, it is now much easier to understand the nature of ...

Automated Quantitative Description of Spiral Galaxy Arm-Segment Structure [PDF]
, 2013 We describe a system for the automatic quantification of structure in spiral galaxies. This enables translation of sky survey images into data needed to help address fundamental astrophysical questions such as the origin of spiral structure---a ...

, 2018 The intrinsic alignment of galaxies is an important systematic effect in weak-lensing surveys, which can affect the derived cosmological parameters. One direct way to distinguish different alignment models and quantify their effects on the measurement is

AM 1934-563: A giant spiral polar-ring galaxy in a triplet [PDF]
, 2005 We have observed the emission-line kinematics and photometry of a southern triplet of galaxies. The triplet contains a giant spiral galaxy AM 1934-563 which optical structure resembles a polar-ring galaxy: distorted spiral disk, seen almost edge-on, and ...

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.
