Dynamics of tidal dwarf galaxies in the system Arp 72

Osvan M. Portilla-Narvaez, Javier Zaragoza-Cardiel, Gisela N. Ortiz-León +6

Some interactions between galaxies produce tidal tails primarily composed of material from their disks. Within these tails, concentrations of gas and stars can form, resembling dwa…

Galaxy Spiral Arm Count vs. Concentration and Mass: A First Look with Euclid

Beverly J. Smith, Sydnie Bergner, Mark L. Giroux +1

Using catalogued information from Euclid Quick Data Release 1, we compare 2-armed and 3-armed spiral galaxies as classified by the Euclid Zoobot software. Two-armed galaxies have l…

The Complex Multi-Wavelength Morphology of the Peculiar Compact Galaxy Group IC 2431

Beverly J. Smith, Roberto Soria, Douglas Swartz +3

We present new Chandra X-ray imaging spectroscopy of the compact galaxy group IC 2431, and compare with archival ultraviolet, optical, infrared, and radio images. IC 2431 is a star…

Detection and characterization of detached tidal dwarf galaxies

Javier Zaragoza-Cardiel, Beverly J. Smith, Mark G. Jones +7

Tidal interactions between galaxies often give rise to tidal tails, which can harbor concentrations of stars and interstellar gas resembling dwarf galaxies. Some of these tidal dwa…

Grand Design vs. Multi-Armed Spiral Galaxies: Dependence on Galaxy Structure

Beverly J. Smith, Matthew Watson, Mark L. Giroux +1

We developed an algorithm to use Galaxy Zoo 3D spiral arm masks produced by citizen scientist volunteers to semi-automatically classify spiral galaxies as either multi-armed or gra…

The Effect of Environment on Galaxy Spiral Arms, Bars, Concentration, and Quenching

Beverly J. Smith, Mark L. Giroux, Curtis Struck

For a sample of 4378 nearby spiral and S0 galaxies, Yu and Ho (2020) used Fourier analysis of Sloan Digital Sky Survey images to show that the strengths of the spiral arms and the…
