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. ...

... Absorption by neutral atomic hydrogen in luminous spiral galaxies provides an excellent tool to study the gas kinematics in their nuclear regions. ... Since the absorption lines are intrinsically narrow as a result of the low temperatures of the optically thick gas, typically 30 to 150 K (Dickey, Salpeter & Terzian 1979), it is surprising that numerous galaxies show H I absorption over a broad range of velocities (a few hundred kms -1 ); see e.g., Fig. ... range . ... NGC 253 . ... NGC 660 . ...

The Seyfert-2 NGC 7674: . ... As part of a larger project to study Luminous and Ultra-Luminous IR Galaxies in both H I absorption and radio continuum at high resolution, NGC 7674 was observed using the VLBA, the phased VLA, and the 305-m Arecibo radio telescope. ... Figure 1 shows a moderate resolution continuum image of the innermost 1 kpc region of NGC 7674 at 1.38 GHz and 20 milliarcsecond (mas) resolution. ... No absorption is detected toward the components J, W, and SW. ...

... M81: A Bulging Spiral Galaxy . ... Credit: NASA , UIT Explanation: Few stars are still forming in the old giant spiral galaxy M81. The blue regions in this picture - representing ultraviolet light - highlight regions of bright young stars and star formation and appear rare than in M74 and M33 . ... M81 is therefore classified as spiral galaxy type "Sab" on the Hubble Sequence of Galaxies . ... Bright Spiral Galaxy M81 from Hubble . Bright Spiral Galaxy M81 in Ultraviolet from Galex . ...

... The highly obscured cases in our sample are generally the bright, central regions of galaxies with high overall attenuation but are not otherwise remarkable. ... The small fraction of highly obscured regions seen in this sample of normal, star-forming galaxies suggests that on 500 pc scales the timescale for significant dispersal or breakup of nearby, optically thick dust clouds is short relative to the lifetime of a typical star-forming region. ...
