K-Band Observations of Boxy Bulges. I. Morphology and Surface Brightness Profiles
M. Bureau, G. Aronica, E. Athanassoula +3
Kn-band images, unsharp-masked images, as well as major-axis and vertically- summed surface brightness profiles are presented for 30 edge-on spiral galaxies, most with a boxy or pe…
Three-Dimensional Bar Structure and Disc/Bulge Secular Evolution
M. Bureau, G. Aronica, E. Athanassoula
Kn-band imaging of a sample of 30 edge-on spiral galaxies with a boxy or peanut-shaped (B/PS) bulge is discussed. Galaxies with a B/PS bulge tend to have a more complex morphology…
Bar-Driven Evolution and 2D Spectroscopy of Bulges
M. Bureau, E. Athanassoula, A. Chung +1
A multi-faceted approach is described to constrain the importance of bar-driven evolution in disk galaxies, particularly bulge formation. N-body simulations are used to construct s…
Comparing peanut-shaped `bulges' to N-body simulations and orbital calculations
G. Aronica, E. Athanassoula, M. Bureau +4
We present a near-infrared K_n-band photometric study of edge-on galaxies with a box/peanut-shaped `bulge'. The morphology of the galaxies is analysed using unsharp masking and fit…
Outer edges of face-on spiral galaxies
M. Pohlen, R. -J. Dettmar, R. Luetticke +1
We present deep optical imaging of three face-on disk galaxies together with a detailed description of the reduction and calibration methods used, in order to measure the intrinsic…
Warps and Rotation Curves in Edge-On Galaxies
D. Vergani, G. Gentile, R. -J. Dettmar +2
We present our investigation on the effect of warps on the extraction of rotation curves in edge-on galaxies. The method to derive the rotation curve from the position-velocity dia…
