New high-resolution, high-sensitivity Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope Hi synthesis observations of the spiral galaxy NGC 3631 are presented. In the total...
Automatic Unsupervised Classification of All Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 Galaxy Spectra
Using the k-means cluster analysis algorithm, we carry out an unsupervised classification of all galaxy spectra in the seventh and final Sloan Digital Sky...
Axisymmetrical gas inflow in the central region of NGC 7331
New Integral Field Spectroscopy of the central region of NGC 7331 reveals strong Hα emission in the well-known CO and HI ring of NGC 7331. The [NII]/Hα ratio...
Azimuthal dependence of the density distribution in outer galactic discs accreting intergalactic flows
Aims: The amplitude and scaleheight of the Galactic gas disc density are not axisymmetric against expectations in a self-gravity axisymmetric disc. However...
Azimuthal offsets in spiral arms of nearby galaxies
Spiral arms play a central role in disc galaxies, but their dynamical nature remains a long-standing open question. Azimuthal offsets between molecular gas and...
B-type supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud: rotational velocities and implications for evolutionary models
High-resolution spectra for 24 SMC and Galactic B-type supergiants have been analysed to estimate the contributions of both macroturbulence and rotation to the...
B-type supergiants in the SMC: Chemical compositions and comparison of static and unified models
High-resolution UCLES/AAT spectra are presented for nine B-type supergiants in the SMC, chosen on the basis that they may show varying amounts of nuclear...
B1359+154: A Six-Image Lens Produced by a z ~= 1 Compact Group of Galaxies
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) V- and I-band observations show that the gravitational lens B1359+154 consists of six images of a single zs=3.235 radio source and...
Balmer lines emission region in NGC 3516: Kinematical and physical properties
We have studied the Balmer line shapes of NGC 3516 in order to find the structure of central Emission Line Region (ELR) and the physical parameters of the...
