... 2000 . ... Abstract: I present the distribution of the brightest galaxies in the southern sky as obtained from the H I Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS). ... A histogram of the systemic velocities of the brightest HIPASS galaxies is shown in Fig. ... It peaks, as expected, in the interval 800 to 2000 km/s. No bright galaxies were found with systemic velocities of less than -350 or more than 5500 km/s. Figure 2: Histogram of the H I systemic velocities of the brightest galaxies obtained from HIPASS. ...

... In collaboration with Drs Van Genderen (Leiden, Holland) and Sterken (Brussels, Belgium) papers XV and XVI in the series `Light Variations of Massive Stars' were published. These dealt with the brightness variations of several massive stars in the two nearest neighbour galaxies, namely six stars (R85, R99, R103, R110, R123 and R128) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and two (R42 and R45) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). ...

... According to the most popular cosmological paradigm, the greater part of the galaxy mass is accumulated in the dark matter halo. ... The polar ring galaxies (PRGs) reveal external rings or disks of gas, dust and stars rotating in a plane roughly perpendicular to the disk of the central galaxy. ... The shape of the dark halo in the model was chosen so as to achieve the best fit to the observed rotation of both galaxies themselves and their polar rings. ... The SPRC-7 galaxy. ...

... Next: Cheating Poisson: A Up: Statistical Analysis Previous: Spatial Models and . ... The spatial distribution of stars in the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 has been studied, using recent positions and deep photometry for about 15,000 stars in the galaxy. Based on photometrical data, OB stars and red stars could be studied separately. Spatial statistical tools have been applied to the analysis of the spatial structure. ...
