CDM in LSB Galaxies: Toward the Optimal Halo Profile
W. J. G. de Blok
Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies are dominated by dark matter. High-resolution rotation curves suggest that their total mass-density distributions are dominated by constant de…
The Disturbed ISM of the Local Group Dwarf Galaxy NGC 6822
W. J. G. de Blok, F. Walter
We present a wide-field, high spatial and velocity resolution map of the entire extended HI distribution of the nearby Local Group dwarf galaxy NGC 6822. The observations were obta…
Surface photometry of bulge dominated low surface brightness galaxies
M. Beijersbergen, W. J. G. de Blok, J. M. van der Hulst
We present results of broad band {BVRI} observations of a sample of galaxies with a low surface brightness (LSB) disk and a bulge. These galaxies are well described as exponential…
Dark Matter in Low Surface Brightness Galaxies
W. J. G. de Blok, Stacy McGaugh
Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies form a large population of disc galaxies that extend the Hubble sequence towards extreme late-types. They are only slowly evolving, and still…
Modelling the spectro-photometric and chemical evolution of Low Surface Brightness spiral galaxies
L. B. van den Hoek, W. J. G. de Blok
We investigate the star formation history and chemical evolution of Low Surface Brightness (LSB) spiral galaxies by means of their observed spectro-photometric and chemical propert…
