Spiral Galaxies and Tracers of Mass Accretion
Can the present dynamics of spiral galaxies tell us something about the merging history, the formation and evolution of disks? Galaxy interactions thicken or destroy disks; the simultaneous presence of thick and thin disks is a tracer of past accretion, and also of recent disk re-formation. Observation of a large number of counter-rotating disks is also evidence of past mergers, as well as the ...
متن کاملOptical identifications of faint radio sources 1 1997
Deep imaging and spectroscopy have been carried out for optical counterparts of a sample of 68 faint radio sources (S > 0.2 mJy) in the “Marano Field”. About 60% of the sources have been optically identified on deep CCD exposures (limit R ' 24.0) or ESO 3.6–m plates (limit bJ ' 22.5). Thirty–four spectra (50% of the total radio sample) were obtained with the ESO 3.6–m telescope and 30 redshifts...
متن کاملSpiral galaxies with large optical warps
As a result of our statistical study of 540 edgeon galaxies, we present here the images and preliminary statistical analysis of a sub-sample of 60 galaxies, that were selected to be S-type warped spirals. Computing the average volumic density of galaxies from available redshift surveys, a first analysis suggests that warped galaxies are found in denser environments. Only the clearest and strong...
متن کاملOptical spectroscopy of faint gigahertz peaked spectrum sources
We present spectroscopic observations of a sample of faint Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) radio sources drawn from the Westerbork Northern Sky Survey (WENSS). Redshifts have been determined for 19 (40%) of the objects. The optical spectra of the GPS sources identified with low redshift galaxies show deep stellar absorption features. This confirms previous suggestions that their optical light i...
متن کاملOptical Properties of faint FIRST Variable Radio Sources
A sample of 123 radio sources that exhibit significant variations at 1.4 GHz on a seven year base-line has been created using FIRST VLA B-array data from 1995 and 2002 on a strip at δ = 0 near the south Galactic cap. This sample spans the range of radio flux densities from ∼ 2 to 1000 mJy. It presents both in size and radio flux density range a unique starting point for variability studies of g...
