Bars, Spiral Structure, and Secular Evolution in Disk Galaxies
Simulations and observations of galactic bars suggest they do not commonly evolve into bulges, although it is possible that the earliest bars formed bulges long ago, when galaxies were smaller, denser, and had more gas. The most highly evolved of today’s bars may become lenses over a Hubble time. Most galaxies in the early Universe are extremely clumpy, with ∼ 10 −10 M⊙ blue clumps that resembl...
متن کاملResonance Excitation and the Spiral-ring Structure of Disk Galaxies
Rings are common in disk galaxies. These rings are either indistinguishable from a pair of tightly wound spirals, or themselves are a part of the spiral structure. Furthermore, their occurrence is seen coincident with a bar in the center. In this paper, we interpret this spiral-ring structure as density waves resonantly excited by a rotating bar potential. The theory gives excellent agreement f...
متن کاملOuter edges of face - on spiral galaxies ⋆
We present deep optical imaging of three face-on disk galaxies together with a detailed description of the reduction and calibration methods used, in order to measure the intrinsic shape of their outer stellar edges. Whereas it is now well accepted that disks of spiral galaxies are not infinite exponential beyond galactocentric distances of about 3-5 radial scalelengths, the genuine structure o...
متن کاملColor Profiles of Spiral Galaxies: Clues on Outer Disk Formation Scenarios
We have explored radial color and stellar surface mass density profiles for a sample of 85 latetype spiral galaxies with deep (down to ∼27 mag/arcsec) SDSS g’ and r’ band surface brightness profiles. About 90% of the light profiles have been classified as broken exponentials, either exhibiting truncations (Type II galaxies) or antitruncations (Type III galaxies). The color profiles of Type II g...
متن کاملThe environmental dependence of the structure of outer galactic discs in STAGES spiral galaxies
We present an analysis of V-band radial surface brightness profiles for spiral galaxies from the field and cluster environments using Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys imaging and data from the Space Telescope A901/2 Galaxy Evolution Survey (STAGES). We use a large sample of ∼330 face-on to intermediately inclined spiral galaxies and assess the effect of the galaxy environment ...
