Pattern Speeds and Galaxy Morphology
R. Buta, X. Zhang
The morphology of a disk galaxy is closely linked to its kinematic state. This is because density wave features are likely made of spontaneously-formed modes which are allowed to a…

Photometric characterization of a well defined sample of isolated galaxies in the context of the AMIGA project
A. Durbala, J. W. Sulentic, R. Buta +1
We perform a detailed photometric analysis (bulge-disk-bar decomposition and Concentration-Asymmetry-Clumpiness - CAS parametrization) for a well defined sample of isolated galaxie…

The Potential-Density Phase Shift Method for Determining the Corotation Radii in Spiral and Barred Galaxies
Xiaolei Zhang, Ronald J. Buta
We have developed a new method for determining the corotation radii of density waves in disk galaxies, which makes use of the radial distribution of an azimuthal phase shift betwee…
