Bar Galaxies and their Environments
نویسنده
چکیده
The prints of the Palomar Sky Survey, luminosity classification and radial velocities were used to assign all northern Shapley-Ames galaxies to either (1) field, (2) group, or (3) cluster environments. This information for 930 galaxies shows no evidence for a dependence of bar frequency on galaxy environment. This suggests that the formation of a bar in a disk galaxy is mainly determined by the properties of the parent galaxy, rather than by the characteristics of its environment.

Frequency and properties of bars in cluster and field galaxies at intermediate redshifts
We present a study of large-scale bars in field and cluster environments out to redshifts of ∼0.8 using a final sample of 945 moderately inclined disk galaxies drawn from the EDisCS project. We characterize bars and their host galaxies and look for relations between the presence of a bar and the properties of the underlying disk. We investigate whether the fraction and properties of bars in clu...
متن کاملAGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies
We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...
متن کاملBars in field and cluster galaxies at intermediate redshifts
We present the first study of large-scale bars in clusters at intermediate redshifts (z = 0.4 − 0.8). We compare the properties of the bars and their host galaxies in the clusters with those of a field sample in the same redshift range. We use a sample of 945 moderately inclined disk galaxies drawn from the EDisCS project. The morphological classification of the galaxies and the detection of ba...
متن کاملStellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...
متن کاملHow Large Are the Bars in Barred Galaxies?
I present a study of the sizes (semimajor axes) of bars in disc galaxies, combining a detailed R-band study of 65 S0–Sb galaxies with the B-band measurements of 70 Sb– Sd galaxies from Martin (1995). As has been noted before with smaller samples, bars in early-type (S0–Sb) galaxies are clearly larger than bars in late-type (Sc–Sd) galaxies; this is true both for relative sizes (bar length as fr...
