Rings and spiral arms: are they coupled with bars?

Simón Díaz-García, Johan H. Knapen, Heikki Salo +2

Rings and spiral arms are distinctive features of many galaxies, and their properties are closely related to the disk dynamics. They are often associated to stellar bars, but the d…

The shapes of spiral arms in the SG survey and their connection with stellar bars

Simón Díaz-García, Heikki Salo, Johan H. Knapen +1

Spiral galaxies are common in the local Universe, but their formation, evolution, and interplay with bars remain poorly understood. We use a sample of 391 nearby galaxies from the…

Catalogue of the morphological features in the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (SG)

M. Herrera-Endoqui, S. Díaz-García, E. Laurikainen +1

A catalogue of the morphological features for the complete Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (SG), including 2352 nearby galaxies, is presented. The measurements…

Characterization of galactic bars from 3.6 m SG imaging

Simón Díaz-García, Heikki Salo, Eija Laurikainen +1

We use the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (SG) 3.6 m imaging to study the properties (length and strength) and fraction of bars at . We use the maxim…

Milky Way mass galaxies with X-shaped bulges are not rare in the local Universe

E. Laurikainen, H. Salo, E. Athanassoula +2

Boxy/Peanut/X-shaped (B/P/X) bulges are studied using the 3.6 mum images from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies, and the K_s-band images from the Near-IR S0 galax…

ARRAKIS: Atlas of Resonance Rings As Known In the S4G

S. Comerón, H. Salo, E. Laurikainen +19

Resonance rings are the consequence of secular evolution processes that redistribute material and angular momentum in discs. We produced a Catalogue and an Atlas of the rings detec…
