The clustering of the luminosities of optical afterglows of long Gamma Ray Bursts
M. Nardini, G. Ghisellini, G. Ghirlanda +3
We studied the optical afterglows of the 24 pre-Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts with known spectroscopic redshift and published estimates of the optical extinction in the source frame. We f…
Star formation and turbulent dissipation in models of disk galaxy evolution
V. Avila-Reese, C. Firmani, E. Vazquez-Semadeni
The kinetic energy dissipation rate in the turbulent ISM of disk galaxies is a key ingredient in galaxy evolution models since it determines the effectiveness of large-scale star f…
Physical processes behind the morphological Hubble sequence
C. Firmani, V. Avila-Reese
The study of formation and evolution of galaxies is reviewed, making emphasis on the physical factors which are important to understand the origin of the galaxy Hubble sequence. We…
The shape of rotation curves: models vs. observations
V. Avila-Reese, C. Firmani, J. Zavala
We discuss the shape and decomposition of rotation curves (RCs) of galaxies formed within growing cold dark matter halos. The outer RC shape correlates mainly with the surface brig…
Halpha rotation curves: the soft core question
D. Marchesini, E. D'Onghia, G. Chincarini +4
We present high resolution Halpha rotation curves of 4 late-type dwarf galaxies and 2 low surface brightness galaxies (LSB) for which accurate HI rotation curves are available from…
Structure, dynamics and evolution of disk galaxies in a hierarchical formation scenario
C. Firmani, V. Avila-Reese
Using galaxy evolutionary models in a hierarchical formation scenario, we predict the structure, dynamics and evolution of disk galaxies in a LCDM universe. Our models include star…
