LCDM Satellites and HI Companions - The Arecibo ALFA Survey of NGC 2903
J. A. Irwin, G. L. Hoffman, K. Spekkens +11
We have conducted a deep, complete HI survey, using Arecibo/ALFA, of a field centered on the nearby, isolated galaxy, NGC 2903, which is similar to the Milky Way in its properties.…
The Photometric and Kinematic Structure of Face-On Disk Galaxies. I. Sample Definition, H-alpha Integral Field Spectroscopy, and HI Line-Widths
David R. Andersen, Matthew A. Bershady, Linda S. Sparke +5
We present a survey of the photometric and kinematic properties of 39 nearby, nearly face-on disk galaxies. Our approach exploits echelle-resolution integral-field spectroscopy of…
The Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA Survey: I. Science Goals, Survey Design and Strategy
Riccardo Giovanelli, Martha P. Haynes, Brian R. Kent
The recently initiated Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey aims to map 7000 square degrees of the high galactic latitude sky visible from Arecibo, providing a HI line spectra…
From Spirals to Low Surface Brightness galaxies
S. Boissier, D. Monnier Ragaigne, N. Prantzos +2
We show that simple models of the chemical and spectrophotometric evolution of galaxies can be used to explore the properties of present-day galaxies and especially the causes of t…
The properties of Low Surface Brightness galaxies
D. Monnier Ragaigne, W. van Driel, C. Balkowski +2
A description is given of the samples of Low Surface Brightness galaxies (LSBs) used for comparison with models of their chemical and spectro-photometric evolution (Boissier et al.…
A neutral hydrogen survey of polar ring galaxies IV. Parkes observations
W. van Driel, F. Combes, M. Arnaboldi +1
A total of 33 polar ring galaxies and polar ring galaxy candidates were observed in the 21-cm HI line with the 64-m Parkes radio telescope. The objects, selected by their optical m…
HI observations of luminous infrared galaxy mergers
W. van Driel, Y. Gao, D. Monnier-Ragaigne
A total of 19 luminous infrared galaxy mergers, with L_IR~2 10^11 L_sun for H_0=75 km/s/Mpc, have been observed in the HI line at Nancay and four of them were observed at Arecibo a…
HI Observations of Giant Low Surface Brightness Galaxies
L. D. Matthews, W. van Driel, D. Monnier-Ragaigne
We have used the Nancay Radio Telescope to obtain new global HI data for 16 giant low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. Our targets have optical luminosities and disk scale length…
Serendipitous 2MASS Discoveries Near the Galactic Plane: A Spiral Galaxy and Two Globular Clusters
Robert L. Hurt, Tom H. Jarrett, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +4
We present the basic properties of three objects near the Galactic Plane - a large galaxy and two candidate globular clusters - discovered in the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS)…
The Extraordinary `Superthin' Spiral Galaxy UGC7321. I. Disk Color Gradients and Global Properties from Multiwavelength Observations
L. D. Matthews, J. S. Gallagher, W. van Driel
We present B- and R-band imaging and photometry, H-alpha narrow-band imaging, NIR H-band imaging, and HI 21-cm spectroscopy of the nearby Sd spiral galaxy UGC7321. UGC7321 exhibits…
Nancay blind 21cm line survey of the Canes Venatici group region
R. C. Kraan-Korteweg, W. van Driel, F. Briggs +2
A radio spectroscopic driftscan survey in the 21cm line with the Nancay Radio Telescope of 0.08 steradians of sky in the direction of the constellation Canes Venatici covering a he…
An Exploration of the Tully-Fisher Relation for Extreme Late-Type Spiral Galaxies
L. D. Matthews, W. van Driel, J. S. Gallagher
This paper explores the adherence of 47 extreme late-type galaxies to the B- and V-band Tully-Fisher relations defined by a sample of local calibrators. In both bands we find the m…
Driftscan Surveys in the 21cm Line with the Arecibo and Nancay Telescopes
F. H. Briggs, E. Sorar, R. C. Kraan-Korteweg +1
Driftscan methods are highly efficient, stable techniques for conducting extragalactic surveys in the 21cm line of neutral hydrogen. Holding the telescope still while the beam scan…
