Scaling Relations of Spiral Galaxies and Their Application to Cosmology
The theoretical background for the main scaling relations of spiral galaxies is discussed, and compared with the observational datum. The luminosity–linewidth relation (TFR) is the best determined among those; the sources of scatter of each are discussed. The results of applications of the TFR to Cosmology, using several all–sky samples of galaxies, are summarized. They yield estimates of H◦, o...

In the last few years, galaxies at redshifts up to z ∼ 1 have become accessible for medium–resolved spectroscopy thanks to the new generation of 10m-class telescopes. With kinematic and photometric information on spiral galaxies in this regime, well–known scaling relations like the Tully–Fisher relation (TFR) can be studied over half a Hubble time. By comparison to local samples, these studies ...

متن کاملGalaxy Scaling Relations as a Result of Secular Evolution
The secular evolution process which slowly transforms the morphology of a given galaxy over its lifetime through mostly internal dynamical mechanisms could naturally account for most of the observed properties of physical galaxies (Zhang 2003a). As an emerging paradigm for galaxy evolution, its dynamical foundations had been established in the past few years (Zhang 1996, 1998, 1999). In this pa...
متن کاملConfronting Scaling Relations of Spiral Galaxies with Hierarchical Models of Disk Formation
The scaling relations between rotation velocity, size and luminosity form a benchmark test for any theory of disk galaxy formation. We confront recent theoretical models of disk formation to a recent large compilation of such scaling relations. We stress the importance of achieving a fair comparison between models and observations.
