The Way We Measure: Comparison of Methods to Derive Radial Surface Brightness Profiles
S. P. C. Peters, P. C. van der Kruit, R. S. de Jong
The breaks and truncations in the luminosity profile of face-on spiral galaxies offer valuable insights in their formation history. The traditional method of deriving the surface p…
The Opacity of Spiral Galaxy Disks IX; Dust and Gas Surface Densities
B. W. Holwerda, R. J. Allen, W. J. G. de Blok +4
Our aim is to explore the relation between gas, atomic and molecular, and dust in spiral galaxies. Gas surface densities are from atomic hydrogen and CO line emission maps. To esti…
Herschel/SPIRE Observations of the Dusty Disk of NGC 4244
B. W. Holwerda, S. Bianchi, T. Böker +7
We present Herschel/SPIRE images at 250, 350, and 500 μm of NGC 4244, a typical low-mass, disk-only and edge-on spiral galaxy. The dust disk is clumpy and shows signs of truncation…
Warp or lag? The ionized and neutral hydrogen gas in the edge-on dwarf galaxy UGC 1281
P. Kamphuis, R. F. Peletier, P. C. van der Kruit +1
The properties of gas in the halos of galaxies constrain global models of the interstellar medium. Kinematical information is of particular interest since it is a clue to the origi…
Kinematics and dynamics of the "superthin" edge-on disk galaxy IC 5249
P. C. van der Kruit, J. Jimenez-Vicente, M. Kregel +1
We present spectroscopic observations of the stellar motions in the disk of the superthin edge-on spiral galaxy IC 5249 and re-analyse synthesis observations of the HI. We find tha…
The z-structure of disk galaxies towards the galaxy planes
R. de Grijs, R. F. Peletier, P. C. van der Kruit
We present a detailed study of a statistically complete sample of highly inclined disk galaxies in the near-infrared K' band. Since the K'-band light is relatively insensitive to c…
