Determination of resonance locations in barred spiral galaxies using multiband photometry

Amber D. Sierra, Marc S. Seigar, Patrick Treuthardt +1

In this paper, we apply a method identified by Puerari & Dottori (1997) to find the corotation radii (CR) in spiral galaxies. We apply our method to 57 galaxies, 17 of which have a…

Constraining dark matter halo profiles and galaxy formation models using spiral arm morphology. II. Dark and stellar mass concentrations for 13 nearby face-on galaxies

Marc S. Seigar, Benjamin L. Davis, Joel Berrier +1

We investigate the use of spiral arm pitch angles as a probe of disk galaxy mass profiles. We confirm our previous result that spiral arm pitch angles (P) are well correlated with…

The Black Hole Mass Function Derived from Local Spiral Galaxies

Benjamin L. Davis, Joel C. Berrier, Lucas Johns +6

We present our determination of the nuclear supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass function for spiral galaxies in the Local Universe, established from a volume-limited sample consist…

Further Evidence for a Supermassive Black Hole Mass - Pitch Angle Relation

Joel C. Berrier, Benjamin L. Davis, Daniel Kennefick +7

We present new and stronger evidence for a previously reported relationship between galactic spiral arm pitch angle P (a measure of the tightness of spiral structure) and the mass…

Measurement of Galactic Logarithmic Spiral Arm Pitch Angle Using Two-Dimensional Fast Fourier Transform Decomposition

Benjamin L. Davis, Joel C. Berrier, Douglas W. Shields +5

A logarithmic spiral is a prominent feature appearing in a majority of observed galaxies. This feature has long been associated with the traditional Hubble classification scheme, b…
