Multi-Wavelength Properties of Barred Galaxies in the Local Universe: Environment and evolution across the Hubble sequence

Lea Giordano, Kim-Vy H. Tran, Ben Moore +1

We investigate possible environmental and morphological trends in the bar fraction using two carefully selected samples representative of a low-density environment (the is…

Detection of Outflowing and Extraplanar Gas in Disks in an Assembling Galaxy Cluster at z=0.37

E. Freeland, K-V. Tran, T. Irwin +5

We detect ionized gas characteristics indicative of winds in three disk-dominated galaxies that are members of a super-group at z=0.37 that will merge to form a Coma-mass cluster.…

The Homogeneous Properties of Halpha-Selected Galaxies at (0.05<z<0.15)

Willy D. Kranz, Kim-Vy H. Tran, Lea Giordano +1

We show that the Halpha line (6563 Angstrom) alone is an extremely effective criterion for identifying galaxies that are uniform in color (red), luminosity-weighted age (old), and…

Multi-Wavelength Properties of Barred Galaxies in the Local Universe. I: Virgo Cluster

Lea Giordano, Kim-Vy H. Tran, Ben Moore +1

We study in detail how the barred galaxy fraction varies as a function of luminosity, HI gas mass, morphology and color in the Virgo cluster in order to provide a well defined, sta…

Are ring galaxies the ancestors of giant low surface brightness galaxies?

M. Mapelli, B. Moore

Giant low surface brightness galaxies (GLSBs), such as Malin 1, have unusually large and flat discs. Their formation is a puzzle for cosmological simulations in the cold dark matte…

Are ring galaxies the ancestors of giant low surface brightness galaxies?

M. Mapelli, B. Moore, E. Ripamonti +4

Giant low surface brightness galaxies (GLSBs) have flat discs extending up to ~100 kpc. Their formation is a puzzle for cosmological simulations in the cold dark matter scenario. W…
