Spirality: A Novel Way to Measure Spiral Arm Pitch Angle
Douglas W. Shields, Benjamin Boe, Casey Pfountz +6
We present the MATLAB code Spirality, a novel method for measuring spiral arm pitch angles by fitting galaxy images to spiral templates of known pitch. Computation time is typicall…
A Fundamental Plane of Spiral Structure in Disk Galaxies
Benjamin L. Davis, Daniel Kennefick, Julia Kennefick +7
Spiral structure is the most distinctive feature of disk galaxies and yet debate persists about which theory of spiral structure is the correct one. Many versions of the density wa…
The Black Hole Mass Function Derived from Local Spiral Galaxies
Benjamin L. Davis, Joel C. Berrier, Lucas Johns +6
We present our determination of the nuclear supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass function for spiral galaxies in the Local Universe, established from a volume-limited sample consist…
Further Evidence for a Supermassive Black Hole Mass - Pitch Angle Relation
Joel C. Berrier, Benjamin L. Davis, Daniel Kennefick +7
We present new and stronger evidence for a previously reported relationship between galactic spiral arm pitch angle P (a measure of the tightness of spiral structure) and the mass…
