Search for Companions of Nearby Isolated Galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
The radial velocities are measured for 45 galaxies located in the neighborhoods of 29 likely isolated galaxies in a new catalog. We find that about 85% of these galaxies actually are well isolated objects. 4% of nearby galaxies with VLG < 3500 km/s are this kind of cosmic ”orphan”.

Companions to Isolated Elliptical Galaxies : Revisiting the Bothun - Sullivan ( 1977 ) Sample
We investigate the number of physical companion galaxies for a sample of relatively isolated elliptical galaxies. The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) has been used to reinvestigate the incidence of satellite galaxies for a sample of 34 elliptical galaxies, first investigated by Bothun & Sullivan (1977) using a visual inspection of Palomar Sky Survey prints out to a projected search radiu...

We have used the VLA to search for gaseous remnants of the galaxy formation process around six extremely isolated galaxies. We found two distinct H I clouds around each of two galaxies in our sample (UGC 9762 & UGC 11124). These clouds are rotating and appear to have optical counterparts, strongly implying that they are typical dwarf galaxies. The companions are currently weakly interacting wit...

We analyse the optical properties of ∼300 galaxies within and around three prominent voids of the Center for Astrophysics Redshift Survey (Geller & Huchra 1989). We determine CCD morphologies and Hα equivalent widths from our imaging and spectroscopic survey (Grogin & Geller 1999). We also describe a redshift survey of 250 neighboring galaxies in the imaging survey fields. We assess the morphol...
متن کاملThe Frequency of Active and Quiescent Galaxies with Companions: Implications for the Feeding of the Nucleus
We analyze the idea that nuclear activity, either AGN or star formation, can be triggered by interactions, studying the percentage of active, HII and quiescent galaxies with companions. Our sample was selected from the Palomar survey, and avoids selection biases faced by previous studies. This sample was split into 5 different groups, Seyfert galaxies, LINERs, transition galaxies, HII galaxies ...
متن کاملDASTWAR: a tool for completeness estimation in magnitude-size plane
Today, great observatories around the world, devote a substantial amount of observing time to sky surveys. The resulted images are inputs of source finder modules. These modules search for the target objects and provide us with source catalogues. We sought to quantify the ability of detection tools in recovering faint galaxies regularly encountered in deep surveys. Our approach was based on com...
