Are Passive Spiral Galaxies Truly “Passive” and “Spiral”? : Near-Infrared Perspective
Passive spiral galaxies — unusual galaxies with spiral morphology without any sign of ongoing star formation — have recently been discovered to exist preferentially in cluster infalling regions (at about the virial radius, or at a local galaxy density of ∼ 1 Mpc). The discovery directly connects the passive spiral galaxies to the cluster galaxy evolution studies such as the Butcher-Oemler effec...
متن کاملThe nature of near-infrared emission from spiral galaxies
We present K-band spectroscopy for several regions of three nearby spiral galaxies, NGC 613, NGC 628 and NGC 7741. Analysis of the depth of the 2.293 μm CO absorption feature in these spectra reveals that some regions have deep absorptions, indicative of recent star formation, while others have anomalously shallow absorptions. We interpret the latter as evidence for a significant but localised ...
متن کاملNear-infrared spectroscopy of stellar populations in nearby spiral galaxies
We present high spatial resolution, medium spectral resolution near-infrared (NIR) Hand K-band long-slit spectroscopy for a sample of 29 nearby (z < 0.01) inactive spiral galaxies, to study the composition of their NIR stellar populations. These spectra contain a wealth of diagnostic stellar absorption lines, e.g., Mg I 1.575 μm, Si I 1.588 μm, CO (6–3) 1.619 μm, Mg I 1.711 μm, Na I 2.207 μm, C...
متن کاملInternal Extinction in Spiral Galaxies in the Near Infrared
In order to study the effects of internal extinction in spiral galaxies we search for correlations of near infrared (NIR) photometric parameters with inclination. We use data from the 2 Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) Extended Source Catalog (XSC) on 15,224 spiral galaxies for which we also have redshifts. For 3035 of the galaxies, I-band photometry is available which is included in the analysis....
متن کاملNear - infrared surface photometry of spiral galaxies ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆ I . The data
We present K -band surface photometry of a sample of 31 inclined Sa-Scd galaxies, together with additional Jand H-band data for four of them. In this first paper of a series, profiles are presented, together with global and isophotal parameters. Our profiles are compared to similar B, R and I data collected from other sources. Three galaxies exhibit previously unknown small bars in their center...
