An evolutionary disc model of the edge - on galaxy NGC 5907
Context. We present an evolutionary disc model of the edge-on galaxy NGC 5907 based on a continuous star formation history and a continuous dynamical heating of the stellar subpopulations. Aims. This model explains in a natural way the two observational facts falling somewhat apart: 1) the exponential vertical disc structure in the optical and NIR of the non-obscured part of the stellar disc an...
متن کاملNgc 4244: a Low Mass Galaxy with a Falling Rotation Curve and a Flaring Gas Layer
I present sensitive high resolution VLA B, C, and D array observations of the almost edge-on Scd galaxy NGC 4244 in the 21-cm spectral line of neutral atomic hydrogen. The gas layer of NGC 4244 is rather symmetric in all respects, i.e. the surface density distribution, flaring and warping. This symmetry allows for a reliable determination of the rotation curve, despite the fact that the galaxy ...
متن کاملMass of the Galaxy Inferred from Outer Rotation Curve
Using an outer rotation curve of the Galaxy, we explore the galactic constants and the mass of the Galaxy. We show that Θ0 of 200 km s −1 is more favorable than the IAU standard value of 220 km s, and also show that if Θ0 is smaller than 207 km s −1 the rotation curve beyond 2R0 is declining in Keplerian fashion. In the case of Θ0= 200 km s −1 and R0= 7.6 kpc, the total mass and the extent of t...
متن کاملSubmillimetre maps of the edge - on galaxy NGC 891
Broadband continuum images of the edge-on galaxy NGC 891 at 850 µm and 450 µm are presented. These images are very similar to the 1300µm and CO line images. With respect to the 850µm continuum, CO is strongest in the socalled molecular ring', and weakest at the largest radii sampled. Inside the molecular ring, the CO/850µm ratio is somewhat less than in the ring, but higher than in the remainde...
متن کاملMass distribution and kinematics of the barred galaxy NGC 2336
For the intermediate-type barred galaxy NGC 2336 stationary models are constructed which reproduce in a consistent manner the observed distribution of the luminous matter and the observed gas kinematics in those regions affected by the bar. We present 2D fits to the observed NIR-band lumi-nosity distribution that consist of three components: a bulge, a bar, and a disk. The brightness distributi...
