In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a.

Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

Physical conditions of the interstellar medium in galaxies are closely linked to the ambient radiation field and the heating of dust grains. ... The KINGFISH profiles are well suited to examining trends of dust temperature Tdust and нІ because they span a factor of ~200 in the ISRF intensity heating the bulk of the dust mass, Umin. Results from fitting the profile SEDs suggest that, on average, Tdust, dust optical depth о„dust, and Umin decrease with radius. ...

A comparative study of type I and type II supernovae . ... Sternberg State Astronomical Institute, Moscow, U.S.S.R. (Received 26 November, 1985) . ... No significant difference between SNe I and SNe II has been found in their radial distribution and frequency of outbursts in spiral galaxies. ... The radial distribution of type Ia SNe in spiral galaxies is only slightly steeper than the one for SNe II, while SNe Ib/c are more concentrated towards the central regions. ...

... Abstract: We present Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations for spiral galaxies modelled as a stellar disk and a two-phase clumpy dust distribution. ... As a general result, clumpy models are less opaque than the corresponding homogeneous models. ... 0.00 0.15 0.50 0.1 0.5 1.0 2.0 5.0 10.0 0.25 X . ... We have also produced several homogeneous models, to compare to the clumpy models. ... Homogeneous and clumpy models with the same tauV have the same dust mass. ...

... This represents the first HI selected sample covering the core and the outskirts of a local cluster of galaxies. ... Optically selected samples miss a considerable number of low luminosity, low surface brightness galaxies underestimating by almost a factor 2 the number of HI rich galaxies present in the cluster volume. ... Right: The g band luminosity function for galaxies in the A1367 volume as obtained from the optically (circles) and HI (histogram) selected sample. ...

... All the galaxies are divided into 4 groups depending on the environment type; every subsample contains more than 10 galaxies. ... An effect of environments is seen both for the nuclei and for the bulges: if we consider the clusters (Virgo and Ursa Ma jor) and group centers as dense environments and the field and group periphery as sparse environments, then in the dense environments the stellar populations of S0s are in average older by 4­5 Gyr than in the sparse ones. ...

Results from 6m telescope observations of globular clusters in dwarf galaxies Sharina M. We consider properties of globular clusters in dwarf galaxies observed with the multi-slit unit of the SCORPIO spectrograph at the SAO 6m telescope. ... Studying GCs in dwarf galaxies at the faintest end of the galaxy luminosity function provides valuable information for a better understanding of galaxy evolution and evolutionary connection between globular clusters and nuclei of galaxies. ...

... The formation of the disks of disk galaxies remains poorly understood. ... Many disk galaxies have only the thin disk component, with no bulge or significant thick disk. ... Almost all disk galaxies have an exponential radial surface brightness distribution. The reason for this exponential form is not known; nor is it known when the exponential form is established. ...
