Mass distribution of spiral galaxies from characteristics of spiral structure: Constraints on galaxy formation models
Marc S. Seigar, Aaron J. Barth, James Bullock +1
Recently, it has been shown that a correlation exists between the rate of shear and the spiral arm pitch angle in disk galaxies. The rate of shear depends upon the shape of the rot…
Black Holes in Active Galaxies
A. J. Barth
Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the quest to detect supermassive black holes in the centers of nearby galaxies, and gas-dynamical measurements of the central masses o…
SN 1994W: evidence of explosive mass ejection a few years before explosion
Nikolai N. Chugai, Robert J. Cumming, Sergei I. Blinnikov +7
We present and analyse spectra of the Type IIn supernova 1994W obtained between 18 and 202 days after explosion. During the first 100 days the line profiles are composed of three m…
Low-Luminosity AGNs and Unification
A. J. Barth
More than one third of all nearby galaxies show indications of low-luminosity nuclear activity. These low-luminosity AGNs (LLAGNs) are traditionally classified into a variety of ca…
Measuring Black Hole Masses Using Ionized Gas Kinematics
Aaron J. Barth, Marc Sarzi, Luis C. Ho +5
We describe techniques for measuring the central masses of galaxies using emission-line kinematics observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. For accurate results, it is necessary t…
Optical Identification of Quasar 0917+7122 in the Direction of an Extreme-Ultraviolet Source
Dan Maoz, Eran Ofek, Amotz Shemi +6
We report the optical identification of an mag, quasar at the position of a 6 cm radio source and a faint \rosat PSPC X-ray source. The quasar lies within the er…
