Jan Veth's paintings of Jacobus Kapteyn
Pieter C. van der Kruit
Jacobus C. Kapteyn is regarded as one of the coryfees of the University of Groningen. Part of his legacy is two paintings of him by Dutch painter Jan Pieter Veth. One, showing him…
Pannekoek's Galaxy
Pieter C. van der Kruit
Antonie (Anton) Pannekoek (1873-1960) is remembered as one of the initiators of the field of stellar atmospheres. A second part of his research concerned Galactic astronomy. He was…
Pieter Johannes van Rhijn, Kapteyn's Astronomical Laboratory and the Plan of Selected Areas
P. C. van der Kruit
In this contribution I discuss the Kapteyn Astronomical Laboratory during the period of Pieter Johannes van Rhijn's directorate, which lasted from 1921 to 1957. It had developed un…
The Shape of Dark Matter Haloes IV. The Structure of Stellar Discs in Edge-on Galaxies
S. P. C. Peters, G. de Geyter, P. C. van der Kruit +1
We present optical and near-infrared archival observations of eight edge-on galaxies. These observations are used to model the stellar content of each galaxy using the FitSKIRT sof…
The Shape of Dark Matter Haloes III. Kinematics and Structure of the HI disc
S. P. C. Peters, P. C. van der Kruit, R. J. Allen +1
We present a new strategy for fitting the structure and kinematics of the HI in edge-on galaxies using a fit to the terminal-velocity channel maps of a HI data cube. The strategy c…
The Shape of Dark Matter Haloes II. The Galactus HI Modelling & Fitting Tool
S. P. C. Peters, P. C. van der Kruit, R. J. Allen +1
We present a new HI modelling tool called \textsc{Galactus}. The program has been designed to perform automated fits of disc-galaxy models to observations. It includes a treatment…
