The bimodal spiral galaxy surface brightness distribution
We have assessed the significance of Tully & Verheijen’s (1997) bimodal Ursa Major Cluster spiral galaxy near-infrared surface brightness distribution, focussing on whether this bimodality is simply an artifact of small number statistics. A KolmogorovSmirnov style of significance test shows that the total distribution is fairly represented by a single-peaked distribution, but that their isolate...
متن کاملThe Millennium Galaxy Catalogue: the space density and surface brightness distribution(s) of galaxies
We recover the joint and individual space density and surface brightness distribution(s) of galaxies from the Millennium Galaxy Catalogue. The MGC is a local survey spanning 30.9 deg and probing approximately one–two mag arcsec deeper than either the TwoDegree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) or the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The MGC contains 10 095 galaxies to BMGC < 20 mag with 96 ...
متن کاملThe surface brightness of the Galaxy at the Solar Neighbourhood
We present a new determination of the surface brightness of our Galaxy at the Solar Neighbourhood as observed from outside the Galaxy. We rely on various existing optical and infra-red surveys to obtain a multiwavelength estimate. On the one hand, scattered light does not contribute significantly to the surface brightness. On the other hand, optical and infrared integrated all-sky surveys (Pion...
متن کاملThe First Co Map of a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy
Using the Owens Valley Radio Observatory Millimeter-Wavelength Array (OVRO) we have obtained the first CO map of a low surface brightness (LSB) galaxy. The studied galaxy, UGC 01922, was chosen for these observations because both of its previous CO detection with the IRAM 30m telescope and its classification as a Malin 1 ‘cousin’ – an LSB galaxy with MHI ≥ 10 10 M⊙. The OVRO map detected approx...
متن کاملRegularity in the X - ray surface brightness profiles of galaxy
ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS Regularity in the X-ray surface brightness profiles of galaxy clusters and the M –T relation. Abstract. We used archival ROSAT observations to investigate the X-ray surface brightness profiles of a sample of 26 clusters in the redshift range 0.04 < z < 0.06. For 15 of these clusters accurate temperatures (kT X > 3.5 keV) were available from the literature. The scaled ...
