Bars and secular evolution in disk galaxies: Theoretical input
E. Athanassoula
Bars play a major role in driving the evolution of disk galaxies and in shaping their present properties. They cause angular momentum to be redistributed within the galaxy, emitted…
A unified picture of breaks and truncations in spiral galaxies from SDSS and S^{4}G imaging
Ignacio Martín-Navarro, Judit Bakos, Ignacio Trujillo +21
The mechanism causing breaks in the radial surface brightness distribution of spiral galaxies is not yet well known. Despite theoretical efforts, there is not a unique explanation…
Structures in galaxies: nature versus nurture. Input from theory and simulations
E. Athanassoula
Galaxies, in particular disc galaxies, contain a number of structures and substructures with well defined morphological, photometric and kinematic properties. Considerable theoreti…
Comparing photometric results of real and N-body bars
E. Athanassoula, D. A. Gadotti, L. Carrasco +3
We compare the results of the photometrical analysis of barred galaxies with those of a similar analysis from N-body simulations. The photometry is for a sample of nine barred gala…
Setting the normalcy level of HI properties in isolated galaxies
D. Espada, L. Verdes-Montenegro, E. Athanassoula +8
Studying the atomic gas (HI) properties of the most isolated galaxies is essential to quantify the effect that the environment exerts on this sensitive component of the interstella…
