Star Formation in NGC 5194 (M51a). II. The Spatially-Resolved Star Formation Law
Robert C. Kennicutt, Daniela Calzetti, Fabian Walter +20
We have studied the relationship between the star formation rate (SFR) surface density and gas surface density in the spiral galaxy M51a (NGC 5194), using multi-wavelength data obt…
The Nature of Infrared Emission in the Local Group Dwarf Galaxy NGC 6822 As Revealed by Spitzer
John M. Cannon, Fabian Walter, Lee Armus +19
We present Spitzer imaging of the metal-deficient (Z ~30% Z_sun) Local Group dwarf galaxy NGC 6822. On spatial scales of ~130 pc, we study the nature of IR, H alpha, HI, and radio…
H alpha rotation curves of Low Surface Brightness galaxies
W. J. G. de Blok, A. Bosma
We present high-resolution rotation curves of a sample of 26 low surface brightness galaxies. From these curves we derive mass distributions using a variety of assumptions for the…
A Morphological-type dependence in the mu_0-log(h) plane of Spiral galaxy disks
Alister W. Graham, W. J. G. de Blok
We present observational evidence for a galaxy `Type' dependence to the location of a spiral galaxy's disk parameters in the mu_0-log(h) (central disk surface-brightness - disk sca…
Dynamical Stability and Environmental Influences in Low Surface Brightness Disk Galaxies
Chris Mihos, Stacy McGaugh, Erwin de Blok
Using analytic stability criteria, we demonstrate that, due to their low surface mass density and large dark matter content, LSB disks are quite stable against the growth of global…
Gas Content and Star Formation Thresholds in the Evolution of Spiral Galaxies
Stacy McGaugh, Erwin de Blok
The gas mass fraction (fg) of spiral galaxies is strongly correlated with the central surface brightness of their disks. There exist many dim galaxies with long gas consumption tim…
