A Comparative Study of Giant Molecular Clouds in M51, M33 and the Large Magellanic Cloud
Annie Hughes, Sharon E. Meidt, Dario Colombo +9
We compare the properties of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in M51 identified by the Plateau de Bure Interferometer Whirlpool Arcsecond Survey (PAWS) with GMCs identified in wide-fi…
Morphological Parameters of Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G)
B. W. Holwerda, J-C. Munoz-Mateos, S. Comeron +21
The morphology of galaxies can be quantified to some degree using a set of scale-invariant parameters. Concentration (C), Asymmetry (A), Smoothness (S), the Gini index (G), relativ…
X-ray nuclear activity in S4G barred galaxies: No link between bar strength and co-occurrent supermassive black hole fueling
Mauricio Cisternas, Dimitri Gadotti, Johan H. Knapen +23
Stellar bars can lead to gas inflow toward the center of a galaxy and stimulate nuclear star formation. However, there is no compelling evidence on whether they also feed a central…
Explaining two circumnuclear star forming rings in NGC5248
T. P. R. van der Laan, E. Schinnerer, E. Emsellem +7
The distribution of gas in the central kiloparsec of a galaxy has a dynamically rapid evolution. Nonaxisymmetries in the gravitational potential of the galactic disk, such as a lar…
On the Origin of Lopsidedness in Galaxies as Determined from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G)
Dennis Zaritsky, Heikki Salo, Eija Laurikainen +23
We study the m=1 distortions (lopsidedness) in the stellar components of 167 nearby galaxies that span a wide range of morphologies and luminosities. We confirm the previous findin…
Mapping dust through emission and absorption in nearby galaxies
K. Kreckel, B. Groves, E. Schinnerer +13
Dust has long been identified as a barrier to measuring inherent galaxy properties. However, the link between dust and attenuation is not straightforward and depends on both the am…
