The Density and Peculiar Velocity Elds of Nearby Galaxies
We review the quantitative science that can be and has been done with redshift and peculiar velocity surveys of galaxies in the nearby universe. After a brief background setting the cosmological context for this work, the rst part of this review focuses on redshift surveys. The practical issues of how redshift surveys are carried out, and how one turns a distribution of galaxies into a smoothed...
متن کاملDistances from Stellar Kinematics for Peculiar Virgo Cluster Spiral Galaxies
We present distance estimates for eleven peculiar Virgo cluster spiral galaxies based on measurements of the stellar kinematics of their central 2 kpc. Stellar circular velocities were obtained using two-integral dynamical models. Distances were obtained by comparing, at each radius, the stellar circular velocities with synthetic Hα rotation curves derived from NIR Tully-Fisher relations. The r...
متن کاملA Method for Reconstructing the Full Vector Velocity Field in the Gaseous Disks of Spiral Galaxies
A method is proposed for reconstructing the full vector velocity eld (i.e., the three velocity components) in the gaseous disks of spiral galaxies from observed radial velocities. The method is based on Fourier analysis of the observed velocity eld and interpretation of the resulting Fourier harmonics in the framework of a model accounting for motion in the spiral arms. The model is based on th...
متن کاملShape and orientation of stellar velocity ellipsoids in spiral galaxies
We present a numerical study of the properties of the stellar velocity distribution in stellar discs which have developed a saturated, two-armed spiral structure. We follow the growth of the spiral structure deeply into the non-linear regime by solving the Boltzmann moment equations up to second order. By adopting the thin-disc approximation, we restrict our study of the stellar velocity distri...
