The GECKOS Survey: Identifying kinematic sub-structures in edge-on galaxies
A. Fraser-McKelvie, J. van de Sande, D. A. Gadotti +30
The vertical evolution of galactic discs is governed by the sub-structures within them. We examine the diversity of kinematic sub-structure present in the first 12 galaxies observe…
K-Band Observations of Boxy Bulges. I. Morphology and Surface Brightness Profiles
M. Bureau, G. Aronica, E. Athanassoula +3
Kn-band images, unsharp-masked images, as well as major-axis and vertically- summed surface brightness profiles are presented for 30 edge-on spiral galaxies, most with a boxy or pe…
Bar-Driven Evolution and 2D Spectroscopy of Bulges
M. Bureau, E. Athanassoula, A. Chung +1
A multi-faceted approach is described to constrain the importance of bar-driven evolution in disk galaxies, particularly bulge formation. N-body simulations are used to construct s…
Stellar Kinematics of Boxy Bulges: Large-Scale Bars and Inner Disks
A. Chung, M. Bureau
Major-axis long-slit stellar kinematics was obtained for 30 edge-on spiral galaxies, 24 with a boxy/peanut-shaped (B/PS) bulge. B/PS bulges are present in >45% of highly inclined s…
Bar Diagnostics in Edge-On Spiral Galaxies. III. N-Body Simulations of Disks
M. Bureau, E. Athanassoula
Present in over 45% of local spirals, boxy and peanut-shaped bulges are generally interpreted as edge-on bars and may represent a key phase in the evolution of bulges. Aiming to te…
The Shape and Figure Rotation of NGC 2915's Dark Halo
M. Bureau, K. C. Freeman, D. W. Pfitzner +1
NGC 2915 is a blue compact dwarf galaxy with a very extended HI disk showing a short central bar and extended spiral arms, both reaching far beyond the optical component. We use Tr…
