Anomalous HI Gas in NGC 4395: Signs of Gas Accretion

George Heald, Tom Oosterloo

In recent years, it has become clear that large quantities of gas reside in the halos of many spiral galaxies. Whether the presence of this gas is ultimately a consequence of star…

Is NGC 3108 transforming itself from an early to late type galaxy -- an astronomical hermaphrodite?

George Hau, Richard Bower, Virginia Kilborn +3

A common feature of hierarchical galaxy formation models is the process of "inverse" morphological transformation: a bulge dominated galaxy accretes a gas disk, dramatically reduci…

The shape of the dark matter halo in the early-type galaxy NGC 2974

Anne-Marie Weijmans, Davor Krajnovic, Glenn van de Ven +3
