Evidence for Secular Evolution in Late-Type Spirals
S. Courteau, R. S. de Jong, A. H. Broeils
We combine deep optical and IR photometry for 326 spiral galaxies from two recent galaxy samples and report that the surface brightness profiles of late-type spirals are best fit b…
NIR imaging and modeling of the core of M100
J. H. Knapen, R. F. Peletier, I. Shlosman +3
High-resolution NIR and optical images are used to constrain a dynamical model of the circumnuclear star forming (SF) region in the barred galaxy M100 (=NGC 4321). Subarcsecond res…
The Central Region in M100: Observations and Modeling
J. H. Knapen, J. E. Beckman, C. H. Heller +2
We present new high-resolution observations of the center of the late-type spiral M100 (NGC 4321) supplemented by 3D numerical modeling of stellar and gas dynamics, including star…
THE STRIKING NEAR-INFRARED MORPHOLOGY OF THE INNER REGION IN M100
J. H. Knapen, J. E. Beckman, I. Shlosman +3
New optical and NIR K-band images of the inner 3 kpc region of the nearby Virgo spiral M100 (NGC 4321) display remarkable morphological changes with wavelength. While in the optica…
