Gas Mass Fractions and the Evolution of Spiral Galaxies
Stacy S. McGaugh, W. J. G. de Blok
We show that the gas mass fraction of spiral galaxies is strongly correlated with luminosity and surface brightness. It is not correlated with linear size. Gas fraction varies with…
Gas Content and Star Formation Thresholds in the Evolution of Spiral Galaxies
Stacy McGaugh, Erwin de Blok
The gas mass fraction (fg) of spiral galaxies is strongly correlated with the central surface brightness of their disks. There exist many dim galaxies with long gas consumption tim…
Dynamical Stability and Galaxy Evolution in LSB Disk Galaxies
Chris Mihos, Stacy McGaugh, Erwin de Blok
We demonstrate that, due to their low surface mass density and large dark matter content, LSB disks are quite stable against the growth of global bar modes. However, they may be on…
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…
Could a Local Group X-Ray Halo Affect the X-Ray and Microwave Backgrounds?
Rachel A. Pildis, Stacy S. McGaugh
Suto et al. (1996, astro-ph/9602061 and ApJ, 461, L33) have suggested that an X-ray halo in the Local Group might explain both the observed low-energy excess in the X-ray backgroun…
Does low surface brightness mean low surface density?
W. J. G. de Blok, S. S. McGaugh
We compare the dynamical properties of two galaxies at identical positions on the Tully-Fisher relation, but with different surface brightnesses. We find that the low surface brigh…
