The Toomre Sequence Revisited with HST/NICMOS: Nuclear Brightness Profiles and Colors of Interacting and Merging Galaxies

Joern Rossa, Seppo Laine, Roeland P. van der Marel +4

We discuss the near-infrared properties of the nuclei in the 11 merging galaxies of the Toomre sequence, based on high spatial resolution J, H, and K imaging data using NICMOS onbo…

The Infrared Array Camera component of the Spitzer Space Telescope Extragalactic First Look Survey

M. Lacy, G. Wilson, F. Masci +19

We present Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) data and source catalogs from the Spitzer Space Telescope Extragalactic First Look Survey. The data were taken in four broad bands centered…

Bar Evolution Over the Last Eight Billion Years: A Constant Fraction of Strong Bars in GEMS

S. Jogee, F. D. Barazza, H. -W. Rix +25

One third of present-day spirals host optically visible strong bars that drive their dynamical evolution. However, the fundamental question of how bars evolve over cosmological tim…

The Nuclei of Late-type Spiral Galaxies

T. Boeker, C. -J. Walcher, H. -W. Rix +8

We summarize some recent results from our observational campaign to study the central regions of spiral galaxies of late Hubble type (Scd - Sm). These disk-dominated, bulgeless gal…

Hubble Space Telescope/WFPC2 Investigation of the Nuclear Morphology in the Toomre Sequence of Merging Galaxies

Seppo Laine, Roeland P. van der Marel, Joern Rossa +4

We report on the properties of nuclear regions in the Toomre Sequence of merging galaxies, based on imaging data gathered with the Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 camera. We have imag…
