Tidally-triggered disk thickening II. Results and interpretations
We have reported in a previous paper (Paper I) B,V and I band photometric data for a sample of 24 edge-on interacting spiral galaxies, together with a control sample of 7 edge-on isolated galaxies. We discuss here the main result found in this study: the ratio h/z0 of the radial exponential scalelength h to the constant scaleheight z0 is about twice smaller for interacting galaxies. This is fou...
متن کاملTidally-Triggered Star Formation in Close Pairs of Galaxies
We analyze optical spectra of a sample of 502 galaxies in close pairs and n-tuples, separated by ≤ 50h−1kpc. We extracted the sample objectively from the CfA2 redshift survey, without regard to the surroundings of the tight systems; we re-measure the spectra with longer exposures, to explore the spectral characteristics of the galaxies. We use the new spectra to probe the relationship between s...
متن کاملORFEUS-I Observations of Molecular Hydrogen in the Galactic Disk
We present measurements of interstellar H2 absorption lines in the continuum spectra of seven early-type stars in the Galactic disk at distances between 1 and 4 kpc. Five of these stars provide lines of sight through the Sagittarius spiral arm. The spectra, obtained with the Berkeley EUV/FUV spectrometer on the ORFEUS telescope in 1993 September, have a resolution of 3000 and statistical signal...
متن کاملObservations of Disk Galaxy Evolution
The morphologies of disk galaxies begin to deviate systematically from those of nearby galaxies at surprisingly low redshifts, possibly as low as z = 0.3. This corresponds to a time ∼ 3.5 Gyr in the past, which is only one quarter of the present age of the Universe. Beyond z = 0.5 (a look-back time of 5 Gyr) the effects of evolution on spiral structure are rather obvious: spiral arms are less w...
متن کاملIntraplate Triggered Earthquakes: Observations and Interpretation
We present evidence that at least two of the three 1811–1812 New Madrid, central United States, mainshocks and the 1886 Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake triggered earthquakes at regional distances. In addition to previously published evidence for triggered earthquakes in the northern Kentucky/southern Ohio region in 1812, we present evidence suggesting that triggered events might have occ...
