Time-dependent secular evolution in galaxies
Martin D. Weinberg
Lynden-Bell & Kalnajs (1972) presented a useful formula for computing the long-range torque between spiral arms and the disk at large. The derivation uses second-order perturbation…
Dark Matter Constraints from the Sagittarius Dwarf and Tail System
Steven R. Majewski, David R. Law, Kathryn V. Johnston +2
2MASS has provided a three-dimensional map of the >360 degree, wrapped tidal tails of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf spheroidal galaxy, as traced by M giant stars. With the inclusion…
Structure of Bright 2MASS Galaxies: 2D Fits to the Ks-band Surface Brightness Profiles
Daniel H. McIntosh, Ari H. Maller, Neal Katz +1
The unprecedented sky coverage and photometric uniformity of the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) provides a rich resource for obtaining a detailed understanding of the galaxies p…
Investigating the long-term evolution of galaxies: Noise,cuspy halos and bars
Martin D. Weinberg
I review the arguments for the importance of halo structure in driving galaxy evolution and coupling a galaxy to its environment. We begin with a general discussion of the key dyna…
Evolution of galaxies due to self-excitation
Martin D. Weinberg
These lectures will cover methods for studying the evolution of galaxies since their formation. Because the properties of a galaxy depend on its history, an understanding of galaxy…
Effect of the Magellanic Clouds on the Milky Way disk and VICE VERSA
Martin D. Weinberg
The satellite-disk interaction provides limits on halo properties in two ways: (1) physical arguments motivate the excitation of observable Galactic disk structure in the presence…
