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…
Inner and outer rings are not strongly coupled with stellar bars
Simón Díaz-García, Sergio Díaz-Suárez, Johan H. Knapen +1
We study the frequency and dimensions of inner and outer rings in the local Universe as a function of disk parameters and the amplitude of non-axisymmetries. We use the 1320 not-hi…
The Fornax Deep Survey (FDS) with VST. VI. Optical properties of the dwarf galaxies in the Fornax cluster
Aku Venhola, Reynier Peletier, Eija Laurikainen +18
The Fornax Deep Survey Dwarf galaxy Catalog (FDSDC) includes 564 dwarf galaxies in the Fornax cluster and the in-falling Fornax A subgroup. We use the FDSDC galaxies for statistica…
On the varied origins of up-bending breaks in galaxy disks
Aaron E. Watkins, Jarkko Laine, Sébastien Comerón +2
Aims: Using a sample of 175 low-inclination galaxies from the SG, we investigate the origins of up-bending (Type III) breaks in the 3.6 m surface brightness profiles of di…
The kinematics of local thick discs do not support an accretion origin
Sébastien Comerón, Heikki Salo, Johan H. Knapen +1
Thick discs are nearly ubiquitous components of the discs of present-day galaxies. It has been proposed that a fraction of their stars has been accreted. Here, we aim to find wheth…
