Clues on the Structure and Composition of Galactic Disks from Studies of "Superthin" Spirals: the Case of UGC3697
Lynn D. Matthews, Juan M. Uson
We summarize results from an HI+optical imaging study of the ``Integral Sign'' galaxy, UGC3697. UGC3697 is a low-mass, Sd spiral that exhibits a ``superthin'' disk morphology despi…

Starbursts and the Evolution of Gas-Rich Galaxies
John S. Gallagher, Christopher J. Conselice, Lynn D. Matthews +1
Moderately luminous starbursts in the nearby universe often occur in disk galaxies that are at most subject to mild external perturbations. An investigation of this type of galaxy…

Properties of `Superthin' Galaxies
L. D. Matthews, W. van Driel, J. S. Gallagher
`Superthins' are a subset of edge-on spiral galaxies exhibiting disks with large axial ratios (a/b>10), extraordinarily small stellar scale heights, and no bulge component. These a…
