The stars and gas in outer parts of galaxy disks: Extended or truncated -- flat or warped?
P. C. van der Kruit
I review observations of truncations of stellar disks and models for their origin, compare observations of truncations in moderately inclined galaxies to those in edge-on systems a…
Structure and kinematics of edge-on galaxy discs -- IV. The kinematics of the stellar discs
M. Kregel, P. C. van der Kruit
The stellar disc kinematics in a sample of fifteen intermediate- to late-type edge-on spiral galaxies are studied using a dynamical modeling technique. The sample covers a substant…
Radial truncations in stellar discs in galaxies
M. Kregel, P. C. van der Kruit
We discuss the possible origin of the radial truncations in stellar discs, using measurements that we presented in an earlier paper (Kregel, van der Kruit & de Grijs, 2002). A tent…
Truncations in stellar disks
P. C. van der Kruit
The presence of radial truncations in stellar disks is reviewed. There is ample evidence that many disk galaxies have relatively shaprt truncations in their disks. These often are…
