Environment and mass dependencies of galactic spin parameter: cosmological simulations and SDSS galaxies compared

B. Cervantes-Sodi, X. Hernandez, Changbom Park +1

We use a sample of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to search for correlations between the spin parameter and the environment and mass of galaxies. In order to…

Chemical abundances and gas content in disk galaxies: correlations with the spin parameter

B. Cervantes-Sodi, X. Hernandez

By using a very simple and general model to describe the dynamics of disk galaxies, we estimate the spin parameter for a sample of observed galaxies and present a study in whic…

Empirical distributions of galactic spin parameters from the SDSS

X. Hernandez, Changbom Park, B. Cervantes-Sodi +1

Using simple dimensional arguments for both spiral and elliptical galaxies, we present formulas to derive an estimate of the halo spin parameter for any real galaxy, in terms o…

A Dimensional study of Disk Galaxies

X. Hernandez, B. Cervantes-Sodi

We present a highly simplified model of the dynamical structure of a disk galaxy where only two parameters fully determine the solution, mass and angular momentum. We show through…
