The bolometric and UV attenuation in normal spiral galaxies of the Herschel Reference Survey

S. Viaene, M. Baes, G. Bendo +11

The dust in nearby galaxies absorbs a fraction of the UV-optical-near-infrared radiation produced by stars. This energy is consequently re-emitted in the infrared. We investigate t…

Spiral eigenmodes triggered by grooves in the phase space of disc galaxies

Sven De Rijcke, Ilya Voulis

We use linear perturbation theory to investigate how a groove in the phase space of a disc galaxy changes the stellar disc's stability properties. Such a groove is a narrow trough…

Polar-bulge galaxies

V. P. Reshetnikov, S. S. Savchenko, A. V. Mosenkov +2

Based on SDSS data, we have selected a sample of nine edge-on spiral galaxies with bulges whose major axes show a high inclination to the disk plane. Such objects are called polar-…

How the first stars shaped the faintest gas-dominated dwarf galaxies

Robbert Verbeke, Bert Vandenbroucke, Sven De Rijcke

Low-mass dwarf galaxies are very sensitive test-beds for theories of cosmic structure formation since their weak gravitational fields allow the effects of the relevant physical pro…

The imprint of rapid star formation quenching on the spectral energy distributions of galaxies

L. Ciesla, A. Boselli, D. Elbaz +12

[Abridged] In high density environment, the gas content of galaxies is stripped, leading to a rapid quenching of their star formation activity. This dramatic environmental effect i…

New Ultraviolet Extinction Curves for Interstellar Dust in M31

Geoffrey C. Clayton, Karl D. Gordon, Luciana C. Bianchi +4

New low-resolution UV spectra of a sample of reddened OB stars in M31 were obtained with HST/STIS to study the wavelength dependence of interstellar extinction and the nature of th…

Dynamical measurement of the stellar surface density of face-on galaxies

Garry W. Angus, Gianfranco Gentile, Benoit Famaey

The DiskMass survey recently provided measurements of the vertical velocity dispersions of disk stars in a sample of nearly face-on galaxies. By setting the disk scale-heights to b…

Combined Solar System and rotation curve constraints on MOND

A. Hees, B. Famaey, G. W. Angus +1

The Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) paradigm generically predicts that the external gravitational field in which a system is embedded can produce effects on its internal dynamic…

The EAGLE simulations of galaxy formation: public release of halo and galaxy catalogues

Stuart McAlpine, John C. Helly, Matthieu Schaller +16

We present the public data release of halo and galaxy catalogues extracted from the EAGLE suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation. These simulations we…

The XMM deep survey in the CDF-S. IX. An X-ray outflow in a luminous obscured quasar at z~1.6

C. Vignali, K. Iwasawa, A. Comastri +13

In active galactic nuclei (AGN)-galaxy co-evolution models, AGN winds and outflows are often invoked to explain why super-massive black holes and galaxies stop growing efficiently…

Recovering star formation histories: Integrated-light analyses vs stellar colour-magnitude diagrams

T. Ruiz-Lara, I. Pérez, C. Gallart +12

Accurate star formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies are fundamental for understanding the build-up of their stellar content. However, the most accurate SFHs - those obtained from…

Massive stars formed in atomic hydrogen reservoirs: HI observations of gamma-ray burst host galaxies

Michał J. Michałowski, G. Gentile, J. Hjorth +30

Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), among the most energetic events in the Universe, are explosions of massive and short-lived stars, so they pinpoint locations of recent star formation.…

Linking dust emission to fundamental properties in galaxies: The low-metallicity picture

A. Rémy-Ruyer, S. C. Madden, F. Galliano +15

In this work, we aim at providing a consistent analysis of the dust properties from metal-poor to metal-rich environments by linking them to fundamental galactic parameters. We con…
