چکیده
We present Arecibo 21 cm spectroscopy, Keck HIRES Hβ spectroscopy, and WIYN R-band imaging of 11 nearby blue compact galaxies with effective B-band surface brightness SBe =19.4-21.2 mag arcsec−2 and effective radii Reff =0.6-1.9 kpc. This sample was selected to test the reliablility of mass estimates derived using optical emission linewidths, particularly for the blue compact star-forming galaxies observed at intermediate redshifts (0.1 < z < 1). In addition, we also measure the H i content and gas

We have considered some results concerning gas and stars kinematics of nearby galaxies recently obtained on the SAO RAS 6m telescope using the panoramic spectroscopy methods. The circumnuclear regions of the galaxies were observed with integral-field spectrograph MPFS. The large-scale ionized gas kinematics was studied with the scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) in the multi-mode focal r...

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT Historically the narrow line radio galaxies were thought to be intrinsically nonthermal, and without significant accretion. When the Unified Model came along the compelling observational motivation for this lost some force: some are found to be hidden broad line objects, and in principle that could be the case with all of them. The clear sign of a hidden quasa...

This paper presents Australia Telescope Compact Array H I synthesis observations of the weak blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy NGC 2915. It is shown that NGC 2915 has the H I properties of a late type spiral galaxy (Sd Sm), including a double horn global profile, and H I spiral arms. The H I extends out to over five times the Holmberg radius, and 22 times the exponential scale length in the B ban...

We examine the claim by Oppenheimer et al. (2001) that the local halo density of white dwarfs is an order of magnitude higher than previously thought. As it stands, the observational data support the presence of a kinematically distinct population of halo white dwarfs at the >99% confidence level a. A maximum-likelihood analysis gives a radial velocity dispersion of σ h U =160
