An Overview of the MHONGOOSE Survey: Observing Nearby Galaxies with MeerKAT
W. J. G. de Blok, E. A. K. Adams, P. Amram +65
MHONGOOSE is a deep survey of the neutral hydrogen distribution in a representative sample of 30 nearby disk and dwarf galaxies with HI masses from 10^6 to ~10^{11} M_sun, and lumi…
Morphology and enhanced star formation in a Cartwheel-like ring galaxy
F. Renaud, E. Athanassoula, P. Amram +8
We use hydrodynamical simulations of a Cartwheel-like ring galaxy, modelled as a nearly head-on collision of a small companion with a larger disc galaxy, to probe the evolution of…
How do spiral arm contrasts relate to bars, disk breaks and other fundamental galaxy properties?
Adrian Bittner, Dimitri A. Gadotti, Bruce G. Elmegreen +4
We investigate how the properties of spiral arms relate to other fundamental galaxy properties, including bars and disc breaks. We use previously published measurements of those pr…
Tidally induced bars in dwarf galaxies on different orbits around a Milky Way-like host
Grzegorz Gajda, Ewa L. Lokas, E. Athanassoula
Bars in galaxies may develop through a global instability or due to an interaction with another system. We study bar formation in disky dwarf galaxies orbiting a Milky Way-like gal…
Forming disc galaxies in major mergers II. The central mass concentration problem and a comparison of GADGET3 with GIZMO
S. A. Rodionov, E. Athanassoula, N. Peschken
Context: In a series of papers, we study the major merger of two disk galaxies in order to establish whether or not such a merger can produce a disc galaxy. Aims: Our aim here is t…
