Stellar Disc Truncations and Extended Haloes in Face-on Spiral Galaxies

S. P. C. Peters, P. C. van der Kruit, J. H. Knapen +4

We use data from the IAC Stripe82 Legacy Project to study the surface photometry of 22 nearby, face-on to moderately inclined spiral galaxies. The reprocessed and combined Stripe 8…

A dust component 2 kpc above the plane in NGC 891

P. Kamphuis, B. W. Holwerda, R. J. Allen +2

The halo of NGC 891 has been the subject of studies for more than a decade. One of its most striking features is the large asymmetry in H emission. In this letter, we will take…

Truncations of stellar disk and warps of HI-layers in edge-on spiral galaxies

P. C. van der Kruit

Edge-on spiral galaxies often have stellar disks with relatively sharp truncations and warped HI-layers in the outer parts. Warps appear to start preferentially near the optical bo…

The Opacity of Spiral Galaxy Disks V: dust opacity, HI distributions and sub-mm emission

B. W. Holwerda, R. A. González, Ronald J. Allen +1

The opacity of spiral galaxy disks, from counts of distant galaxies, is compared to HI column densities. The opacity measurements are calibrated using the ``Synthetic Field Method'…

Structure and kinematics of edge-on galaxy discs -- V. The dynamics of the stellar discs

M. Kregel, P. C. van der Kruit, K. C. Freeman

In earlier papers in this series we determined the intrinsic stellar disc kinematics of fifteen intermediate to late type edge-on spiral galaxies using a dynamical modeling techniq…

The Opacity of Spiral Galaxy Disks IV: Radial Extinction Profiles from Counts of Distant Galaxies seen through Foreground Disks

B. W. Holwerda, R. A. Gonzalez, Ronald J. Allen +1

Dust extinction can be determined from the number of distant field galaxies seen through a spiral disk. To calibrate this number for the crowding and confusion introduced by the fo…
