A search for LSB dwarf galaxies in various environments
Sarah Roberts, Jonathan Davies, Sabina Sabatini
The varying dwarf galaxy populations in different environments poses a problem for Cold Dark Matter (CDM) hierarchical clustering models. In this paper we present results from a su…
Monte Carlo Predictions of Far-Infrared Emission from Spiral Galaxies
S. Bianchi, J. I. Davies, P. B. Alton
We present simulations of Far Infrared (FIR) emission by dust in spiral galaxies, based on the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code of Bianchi, Ferrara & Giovanardi (1996). The radi…
The Fornax Spectroscopic Survey I. Survey Strategy and Preliminary Results on the Redshift Distribution of a Complete Sample of Stars and Galaxies
M. J. Drinkwater, S. Phillipps, J. B. Jones +6
The Fornax Spectroscopic Survey will use the Two degree Field spectrograph (2dF) of the Anglo-Australian Telescope to obtain spectra for a complete sample of all 14000 objects with…
ISO observations of spirals: modelling the FIR emission
Simone Bianchi, Paul B. Alton, Jonathan I. Davies
ISO observations at 200 micron have modified our view of the dust component in spiral galaxies. For a sample of seven resolved spirals we have retrieved a mean temperature of 20K,…
Dust Emissivity in the Far-Infrared
Simone Bianchi, Jonathan I. Davies, Paul B. Alton
We have derived the dust emissivity in the Far-Infrared (FIR) using data available in the literature. We use two wavelength dependences derived from spectra of Galactic FIR emissio…
Found: High Surface Brightness Compact Galaxies
M. J. Drinkwater, S. Phillipps, J. B. Jones +5
We are using the 2dF spectrograph to make a survey of all objects (`stars' and `galaxies') in a 12 sq.deg region towards the Fornax cluster. We have discovered a population of comp…
