Bulk Motions of Spiral Galaxies in the z = 0.03 Volume
Yu. N. Kudrya, V. E. Karachentseva, I. D. Karachentsev +2
We analyze the peculiar velocity field for 2400 flat spiral galaxies selected from an infrared sky survey (2MFGC). The distances to the galaxies have been determined from the Tully…
ACS imaging of 25 galaxies in nearby groups and in the field
I. D. Karachentsev, A. Dolphin, R. B. Tully +6
We present HST/ACS images and color-magnitude diagrams for 25 nearby galaxies with radial velocities V_LG < 500 km/s. Distances are determined based on the luminosities of stars at…
Gas distribution, kinematics and star formation in faint dwarf galaxies
Ayesha Begum, Jayaram. N. Chengalur, I. D. Karachentsev +2
We compare the gas distribution, kinematics and the current star formation in a sample of 10 very faint (-13.37 < M_B < -9.55) dwarf galaxies. For 5 of these galaxies we present fr…
The Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA Survey: I. Science Goals, Survey Design and Strategy
Riccardo Giovanelli, Martha P. Haynes, Brian R. Kent
The recently initiated Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey aims to map 7000 square degrees of the high galactic latitude sky visible from Arecibo, providing a HI line spectra…
The very local Hubble flow: Simulating transition from chaos to order
A. D. Chernin, I. D. Karachentsev, M. J. Valtonen +3
The physical nature of the very local (<3 Mpc) Hubble flow is studied on the basis of the recent high precision observations in the Local Volume. A model including both analytical…
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies in nearby groups imaged with HST
I. D. Karachentsev, V. E. Karachentseva, M. E. Sharina
An all-sky list of 88 nearby dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies with distances D < 10 Mpc is considered. Most of the objects have recently been found by Karachentseva & Karachentsev…
