A new method for obtaining the star formation law in galaxies
J. S. Heiner, R. J. Allen, P. C. van der Kruit
We present a new observational method to evaluate the star formation law as formulated by Schmidt: the power-law expression assumed to relate the rate of star formation in a volume…
Structure, mass and stability of galactic disks
P. C. van der Kruit
In this review I concentrate on three areas related to structure of disks in spiral galaxies. First I will review the work on structure, kinematics and dynamics of stellar disks. N…
The dark matter halo shape of edge-on disk galaxies - I. HI observations
J. C. O'Brien, K. C. Freeman, P. C. van der Kruit +1
This is the first paper of a series in which we will attempt to put constraints on the flattening of dark halos in disk galaxies. We observe for this purpose the HI in edge-on gala…
The dark matter halo shape of edge-on disk galaxies - III. Modelling the HI observations: results
J. C. O'Brien, K. C. Freeman, P. C. van der Kruit
This is the third paper in a series in which we attempt to put constraints on the flattening of dark halos in disk galaxies. For this purpose we need to analyse the observed XV dia…
