The Central Kiloparsec-Scale Structure of Galaxies
This review summarizes some aspects of the central kiloparsec scale structure of galaxies, and in particular spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies and merger remnants. The focus is on results from optical and near-IR imaging and spectroscopy, with emphasis on recent work with the Hubble Space Telescope.
متن کاملThe Molecular Ism of Dwarf Galaxies on Kiloparsec Scales: a New Survey for Co in Northern, Iras-detected Dwarf Galaxies
We present a new survey for CO in dwarf galaxies using the ARO Kitt Peak 12m telescope. This survey consists of observations of the central regions of 121 northern dwarfs with IRAS detections and no known CO emission. We detect CO in 28 of these galaxies and marginally detect another 16, increasing by about 50% the number of such galaxies known to have significant CO emission. The galaxies we d...
متن کاملFormation of dwarf galaxies and small-scale problems of CDM
The concordance cosmological model based on cold dark matter makes definitive predictions for the growth of galaxies in the Universe, which are being actively studied using numerical simulations. These predictions appear to contradict the observations of dwarf galaxies. Dwarf dark matter halos are more numerous and have steeper central density profiles than the observed galaxies. The first of t...
متن کاملStar Formation in Dwarf Galaxies
We explore mechanisms for the regulation of star formation in dwarf galaxies. We concentrate primarily on a sample in the Virgo cluster, which has HI and blue total photometry, for which we collected Hα data at the Wise Observatory. We find that dwarf galaxies do not show the tight correlation of the surface brightness of Hα (a star formation indicator) with the HI surface density, or with the ...
متن کاملThe Kiloparsec-scale Kinematics of High-redshift Star-forming Galaxies
We present the results of a spectroscopic survey of the kinematic structure of star-forming galaxies at redshift z ∼ 2 − 3 using Keck/OSIRIS integral field spectroscopy. Our sample is comprised of 12 galaxies between redshifts z ∼ 2.0 and 2.5 and one galaxy at z ∼ 3.3 which are well detected in either Hα or [O iii] emission. These galaxies are generally representative of the mean stellar mass o...
