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).

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 ...

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.

Optical observations of the nearby galaxy IC342 with narrow band [SII] and Hα filters. I [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2013 We present observations of a portion of the nearby spiral galaxy IC342 using narrow band [SII] and Hα filters. These observations were carried out in November 2011 with the 2m RCC telescope at Rozhen National Astronomical Observatory in Bulgaria.

Assembling Spiral Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1996 Nearby spiral galaxies offer vital clues to some of the most fundamental questions about galaxy formation and evolution: What is the star formation history of the universe, past and future? When did disks form, during the final stages of a single primeval collapse, or as a continuous or episodic process?

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.

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.

Exploring the evolution of spiral galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 We have constructed a family of simple models for spiral galaxy evolution to allow us to investigate observational trends in star formation history with galaxy parameters. The models are used to generate broad band colours from which ages and metallicities are derived in the same way as the data.
