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. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

... To see how this is done, it helps to visualise the colours as points inside a cube with edges 1 unit in length. ... The task of allocating these colours is equivalent to constructing 256 boxes inside the cube, each box to contain a subset of the thousands of colour points. ... At present the boxes are allocated so that they all tend to be of equal size, but it may make more sense to allocate them so that they all tend to contain equal numbers of points. ...

Next: Star Formation Rate and Up: No Title Previous: Calculation of Evolutionary Tracks . To start calculations, we choose the distributions of the initial binary parameters: the mass of the primary ZAMS component, , binary mass ratio, , orbital separation a . ... whereas the mass ratio distribution is not. ... The zero assumption often made is that the mass ratio distribution has a flat shape, that is binaries with a high mass ratio occur as frequently as those with equal masses. ...

Next: Simulations Up: Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Previous: Introduction . The properties of an ensemble of faint galaxies can be defined by the distribution of the parameters of the models that best fit each individual object. ... The model also includes instrumental parameters, such as the sky background (estimated locally) and amplitude of the noise. ... The probability of the observed value is then computed for each pixel using the adopted error distribution. ...
