Equilibrium Initialization and Stability of Three-Dimensional Gas Disks

Hsiang-Hsu Wang, Ralf S. Klessen, Cornelis P. Dullemond +2

We present a new systematic way of setting up galactic gas disks based on the assumption of detailed hydrodynamic equilibrium. To do this, we need to specify the density distributi…

Halo streams in the 7th SDSS data release

R. Klement, H. -W. Rix, C. Flynn +13

We have detected stellar halo streams in the solar neighborhood using data from the 7th public data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), which includes the directed stel…

On the nature of IC 3328, an early-type dwarf galaxy with weak spiral structure

Thorsten Lisker, Burkhard Fuchs

Various early-type dwarf galaxies with disk features were identified in the Virgo cluster, including objects that display weak grand-design spiral arms despite being devoid of gas.…

The kinematics of late type stars in the solar cylinder studied with SDSS data

B. Fuchs, C. Dettbarn, H. -W. Rix +11

We study the velocity distribution of Milky Way disk stars in a kiloparsec-sized region around the Sun, based on ~ 2 million M-type stars from DR7 of SDSS, which have newly re-cali…

Dynamics of the Disks of Nearby Galaxies

B. Fuchs

I describe how the dynamics of galactic disks can be inferred by imaging and spectroscopy. Next I demonstrate that the decomposition of the rotation curves of spiral galaxies into…

Can Massive Dark Haloes Destroy the Disks of Dwarf Galaxies?

B. Fuchs, O. Esquivel

Recent high-resolution simulations together with theoretical studies of the dynamical evolution of galactic disks have shown that contrary to wide-held beliefs a `live', dynamicall…
