- Description:
- We measure the strength, frequency, and timescale of tidally triggered star formation at redshift z=0.08-0.38 in a spectroscopically complete sample of galaxy pairs drawn from the magnitude-limited redshift survey of 9825 Smithsonian Hectospec Lensing Survey galaxies with R<20.3. To examine the evidence for tidal triggering, we identify a volume-limited sample of major (|{Delta}M_R_|<1.75, corresponding to mass ratio >1/5) pair galaxies with M_R_<-20.8 in the redshift range z=0.08-0.31.

- Description:
- We derive rotation curves, surface brightness profiles, and oxygen abundance distributions for 147 late-type galaxies using the publicly available spectroscopy obtained by the MaNGA survey. Changes of the central oxygen abundance (O/H)_0_, the abundance at the optical radius (O/H)_R25_, and the abundance gradient with rotation velocity V_rot_ were examined for galaxies with rotation velocities from 90km/s to 350km/s. We find that each relation shows a break at V_rot_^*^~200km/s. The central (O/H)_0_ abundance increases with rising V_rot_ and the slope of the (O/H)_0_-V_rot_ relation is steeper for galaxies with V_rot_<=V_rot_^*^. The mean scatter of the central abundances around this relation is 0.053 dex. The relation between the abundance at the optical radius of a galaxy and its rotation velocity is similar; the mean scatter in abundances around this relation is 0.081 dex. The radial abundance gradient expressed in dex/kpc flattens with the increase of the rotation velocity. The slope of the relation is very low for galaxies with V_rot_>=V_rot_^*^. The abundance gradient expressed in dex/R_25_ is roughly constant for galaxies with V_rot_<=V_rot_^*^, flattens towards V_rot_^*^, and then again is roughly constant for galaxies with V_rot_>=V_rot_^*^. The change of the gradient expressed in terms of dex/h_d_ (where h_d_ is the disc scale length), in terms of dex/R_e,d_ (where R_e,d_ is the disc effective radius), and in terms of dex/R_e,g_ (where R_e,g_ is the galaxy effective radius) with rotation velocity is similar to that for gradient in dex/R_25_. The relations between abundance characteristics and other basic parameters (stellar mass, luminosity, and radius) are also considered.

- Description:
- This paper presents optical long-slit spectroscopic observations of 105 barred Markarian IRAS galaxies. These observations are used to determine the spectral type (starburst or Seyfert) of emission-line regions in the nucleus and along the bar of the galaxies, in order to define a homogeneous sample of Starburst Nucleus Galaxies (SBNGs). Our selection criteria (ultraviolet excess, far infrared emission and barred morphology) have been very efficient for selecting star-forming galaxies, since our sample of 221 emission-line regions includes 82% nuclear or extranuclear starbursts. The contamination by Seyferts is low (9%). The remaining galaxies (9%) are objects with ambiguous classification (HII or LINER). The dust content and H{alpha} luminosity increase towards the nuclei of the galaxies. No significant variation of the electron density is found between nuclear and bar HII regions. However, the mean H{alpha} luminosity and electron density in the bar are higher than in typical disk HII regions. We investigate different mechanisms for explaining the excess of nitrogen emission observed in our starburst nuclei. There is no evidence for the presence of a weak hidden active galactic nucleus in our starburst galaxies. The cause of this excess is probably a selective enrichment of nitrogen in the nuclei of the galaxies, following a succession of short and intense bursts of star formation. Our sample of SBNGs, located at a mean redshift of 0.015, has moderate H{alpha} (10^41^erg/s) and far infrared (10^10^L{sun}) luminosities. The types are distributed equally among early- and late-type giant spirals with a slight preference for Sbc/Sc types because of their barred morphology. The majority (62%) of SBNGs are isolated with no sign of gravitational interaction. In terms of distance, luminosity and level of interaction, SBNGs are intermediate between HII galaxies and luminous infrared galaxies.

- Sample SNRs for M31 and M33
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/795/170
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Using Hubble Space Telescope photometry to measure star formation histories, we age-date the stellar populations surrounding supernova remnants (SNRs) in M31 and M33. We then apply stellar evolution models to the ages to infer the corresponding masses for their supernova progenitor stars. We analyze 33 M33 SNR progenitors and 29 M31 SNR progenitors in this work. We then combine these measurements with 53 previously published M31 SNR progenitor measurements to bring our total number of progenitor mass estimates to 115. To quantify the mass distributions, we fit power laws of the form dN/dM{prop.to}M^-{alpha}^. Our new larger sample of M31 progenitors follows a distribution with {alpha}=4.4_-0.4_^+0.4^, and the M33 sample follows a distribution with {alpha}=3.8_-0.5_^+0.4^. Thus both samples are consistent within the uncertainties, and the full sample across both galaxies gives {alpha}=4.2_-0.3_^+0.3^. Both the individual and full distributions display a paucity of massive stars when compared to a Salpeter initial mass function, which we would expect to observe if all massive stars exploded as SN that leave behind observable SNR. If we instead fix {alpha}=2.35 and treat the maximum mass as a free parameter, we find M_max_~35-45 M_{sun}_, indicative of a potential maximum cutoff mass for SN production. Our results suggest that either SNR surveys are biased against finding objects in the youngest (<10 Myr old) regions, or the highest mass stars do not produce SNe.

- 4 samples of disc galaxies
- Short Name:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We study the influence of environment on the structure of disc galaxies, using IMFIT to measure the g- and r-band structural parameters of the surface-brightness profiles for ~700 low-redshift (z<0.063) cluster and field disc galaxies with intermediate stellar mass (0.8x10^10^M_{sun}_<M*<4x10^10^M_{sun}_) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, DR7. Based on this measurement, we assign each galaxy to a surface-brightness profile type (Type I = single-exponential, Type II = truncated, Type III = antitruncated). In addition, we measure (g-r) rest frame colour for disc regions separated by the break radius. Cluster disc galaxies (at the same stellar mass) have redder (g-r) colour by ~0.2 mag than field galaxies. This reddening is slightly more pronounced outside the break radius. Cluster disc galaxies also show larger global Sersic-indices and are more compact than field discs, both by ~15 per cent. This change is connected to a flattening of the (outer) surface-brightness profile of Type I and - more significantly - of Type III galaxies by ~8 per cent and ~16 per cent, respectively, in the cluster environment compared to the field. We find fractions of Type I, Type II and Type III of (6+/-2) per cent, (66+/-4) per cent and (29+/-4) per cent in the field and (15_-4_^+7^) per cent, (56+/-7) per cent and (29+/-7) per cent in the cluster environment, respectively. We suggest that the larger abundance of Type I galaxies in clusters (matched by a corresponding decrease in the Type II fraction) could be the signature of a transition between Type II and Type I galaxies produced/enhanced by environment-driven mechanisms.

- Description:
- Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), we probe the halo mass distribution by studying the velocities of satellites orbiting isolated galaxies. In a subsample that covers 2500{deg}^2^ on the sky, we detect about 3000 satellites with absolute blue magnitudes going down to M_B_=-14; most of the satellites have M_B_=-16 to -18, comparable to the magnitudes of M32 and the Magellanic Clouds.

- SB profiles of 9 late-type disk galaxies

- Description:
- We use HST ACS and NICMOS imaging to study the inner B-I and I-H colors of nine late-type spiral galaxies, which we interpret on the basis of different star formation histories. The colors and scale lengths of the bulges of these late-type systems are correlated with those of the disks in which they are embedded. We find that in about half of the systems, the bulk of the bulge mass formed more recently than the disk. In the remainder, early bulge formation was supplemented by continuing "rejuvenating" star formation. More massive bulges are generally older.

- Description:
- Disc scalelength (h) for 30000 galaxies from the Sloan Digitized Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7, in the r-band. Also included is the Asymmetry parameter for each galaxy. Virtual Observatory methods and tools were used to define, retrieve and analyze the images for this unprecedentedly large sample classified as spiral galaxies in the LEDA catalogue. These parameters are also available for all other SDSS bands (u,g,i,z), and they can be retrieved from the Author. An extensive discussion about the errors involved in the derived parameters can be found in Fathi et al. (2010MNRAS.406.1595F) and Fathi (2010ApJ...722L.120F)

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A compilation of 21 cm line spectral parameters specifically designed for application of the Tully-Fisher (TF) distance method is presented for 1201 spiral galaxies, primarily field Sc galaxies, for which optical I-band photometric imaging is also available. New H I line spectra have been obtained for 881 galaxies. For an additional 320 galaxies, spectra available in a digital archive have been reexamined to allow application of a single algorithm for the derivation of the TF velocity width parameter. A velocity width algorithm is used that provides a robust measurement of rotational velocity and permits an estimate of the error on that width taking into account the effects of instrumental broadening and signal-to-noise. The digital data are used to establish regression relations between measurements of velocity widths using other common prescriptions so that comparable widths can be derived through conversion of values published in the literature. The uniform H I line widths presented here provide the rotational velocity measurement to be used in deriving peculiar velocities via the TF method.
