Synthetic HI observations of a simulated spiral galaxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

ON THE FRACTION OF BARRED SPIRAL GALAXIES [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Star Formation and Magnetic Field Amplification due to Galactic Spirals

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We use global MHD galaxy simulations to investigate the effects of spiral arms on the evolution of magnetic fields and star formation within a self-regulated interstellar medium.

Probing isotopic ratios at z = 0.89: molecular line absorption in front of the quasar PKS 1830-211

open access: yes, 2006
With the Plateau de Bure interferometer, we have measured the C, N, O and S isotopic abundance ratios in the arm of a spiral galaxy with a redshift of 0.89. The galaxy is seen face-on according to HST images. Its bulge intercepts the line of sight to the

Star formation and ISM morphology in tidally induced spiral structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

α‐Helix‐Driven Regulation of Aqueous Circularly Polarized Luminescence in Homopolypeptide Self‐Assembly

open access: yesAggregate, EarlyView.
We explore the hierarchical chirality transfer in self‐assembled fluorescent homopolypeptide systems for achieving aqueous circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), and reveal the α‐helix‐dominated CPL regulation mechanism during the self‐assembly process .

A Dynamic Galaxy: Stellar Age Patterns across the Disk of M101

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Using 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

Mass extinction and the structure of the milky way [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian 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

Discovery of a very extended X-ray halo around a quiescent spiral galaxy - the "missing link" of galaxy formation

open access: yes, 2005
Hot gaseous haloes surrounding galaxies and extending well beyond the distribution of stars are a ubiquitous prediction of galaxy formation scenarios.
