The Mass Profile and Shape of Bars in the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G): Search for an Age Indicator for Bars

Taehyun Kim, Kartik Sheth, Dimitri A. Gadotti +24

We have measured the radial light profiles and global shapes of bars using two-dimensional 3.6 image decompositions for 144 face-on barred galaxies from the Spitzer Survey of…

Globular Cluster Populations: First Results from SG Early-Type Galaxies

Dennis Zaritsky, Manuel Aravena, E. Athanassoula +14

Using 3.6m images of 97 early-type galaxies, we develop and verify methodology to measure globular cluster populations from the SG survey images. We find that 1) the ratio,…

Evidence for the concurrent growth of thick discs and central mass concentrations from SG imaging

Sébastien Comerón, Bruce G. Elmegreen, Heikki Salo +3

We have produced vertically integrated radial luminosity profiles of 69 edge-on galaxies from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (SG)…

The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (SG): Precise Stellar Mass Distributions from Automated Dust Correction at 3.6 microns

M. Querejeta, S. E. Meidt, E. Schinnerer +26

The mid-infrared is an optimal window to trace stellar mass in nearby galaxies and the 3.6 IRAC band has been exploited to this effect, but such mass estimates can be biased by…

IRAC Near-Infrared Features in the Outer Parts of S4G Galaxies

Seppo Laine, Johan H. Knapen, Juan-Carlos Munoz-Mateos +26

We present a catalogue and images of visually detected features, such as asymmetries, extensions, warps, shells, tidal tails, polar rings, and obvious signs of mergers or interacti…

Morphology and environment of galaxies with disc breaks in the S4G and NIRS0S

J. Laine, E. Laurikainen, H. Salo +16

We study the surface brightness profiles of disc galaxies in the 3.6 micron images from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) and K_s-band images from the Near…
