Properties of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies and Normal Spirals in the Near - IR
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present results for J andKs near-IR imaging data on a large sample of 88 galaxies drawn from the catalogue of Impey et al. (1996). The galaxies span a wide range in optical and IR surface brightness and morphology (although they were drawn from a catalog constructed to identify low surface brightness galaxies, hereafter LSBGs). They were also selected to include very low and high HI mass galaxies in order to ensure that they span a wide range of evolutionary states. Visiting Astronomer, Las Campanas Observatory. Alfred P.

We show that simple models of the chemical and spectrophotometric evolution of galaxies can be used to explore the properties of present-day galaxies and especially the causes of the observed variety among disc galaxies. We focus on the link between " classical " spirals and Low Surface Brightness galaxies.
متن کاملThe morphological segregation of galaxies in clusters . III . The distant cluster Cl 0939 + 4713 ( Abell 851 ) ⋆
We have performed an isophotal analysis of galaxies in the distant (z = 0.4) cluster Cl0939+4713 (Abell 851), using post-refurbished Hubble Space Telescope images. Morphological type estimates for the galaxies are given. A rigorous comparison of the properties of the types shows that early-type galaxies in Cl0939+4713 are, within the present statistical or systematic errors, indistinguishable f...

متن کاملThe Molecular Ism of Low Surface Brightness Spiral Galaxies
I summarize some results from the recent CO survey of late-type, low surface brightness (LSB) spiral galaxies by Matthews et al. (2005). We have now detected CO emission from six late-type, LSB spirals, demonstrating that despite their typical low metallicities and low mean gas surface densities, some LSB galaxies contain a molecular medium that is traced by CO. We find that the CO-detected LSB...
متن کاملThe Morphology of Low Surface Brightness Disk Galaxies
We present UBV I and Hα images of a sample of Low Surface Brightness (LSB) disk galaxies. These galaxies are generally late types, if they can be sensibly classified at all. However, they are not dwarfs, being intrinsically large and luminous. The morphology of LSB galaxies is discussed in terms of the physical interpretation of the Hubble sequence. Galaxies with high contrast relative to the s...
