The Central Mass Distribution in Dwarf and Low Surface Brightness Galaxies
R. A. Swaters, B. F. Madore, F. C. van den Bosch +1
We present Halpha rotation curves for a sample of 15 dwarf and LSB galaxies. From these, we derive limits on the slopes of the central mass distributions. Assuming the density dist…
The Stellar and Gas Kinematics of Several Irregular Galaxies
Deidre A. Hunter, Vera C. Rubin, Rob A. Swaters +2
We present long-slit spectra of three irregular galaxies from which we determinethe stellar kinematics in two of the galaxies (NGC 1156 and NGC 4449) and ionized-gas kinematics in…
The Origin of the Correlation between the Spin Parameter and the Baryon Fraction of Galactic Disks
Andreas Burkert, Frank C. van den Bosch, Rob A. Swaters
The puzzling correlation between the spin parameter lambda of galactic disks and the disk-to-halo mass fraction fdisk is investigated. We show that such a correlation arises natura…
