Giant low surface brightness galaxies (gLSBs) are galaxies with extremely extended, faint, optical disks over 50 kpc in radius and have high total masses which can reach 10^12 solar masses. The existence of such galaxies is problematic for…
The assembly of galaxies can be described by the distribution of their star formation as a function of cosmic time. Thanks to the WFC3 grism on HST it is now possible to measure this beyond the local Universe. Here we present the spatial…
Giant Low Surface Brightness Galaxies (GLSBGs) are fundamentally distinct from normal galaxies (LSBGs) in star formation and evolution. In this work, we collected 27 local GLSBGs. They have high stellar masses (M*>10^10 Msolar) and low…
We present integrated H alpha measurements obtained from imaging observations of 98 late-type galaxies, primarily selected in the Coma supercluster. These data, combined with H alpha photometry from the literature, include a magnitude…
(Abridged) Several aspects of the evolution of star-forming galaxies are studied using measures of the 2-dimensional surface brightness profile of a sample of 341 faint objects selected from the CFRS and LDSS redshift surveys that have been…
We present N-body simulations of Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies and their Interstellar Medium to investigate the cause for their low star formation rates (SFR).Due to their massive halos, stellar disks of LSB galaxies are very stable…
We present mid-infrared to optical properties of 22 representative irregular galaxies: 18 Im, 3 BCDs, and one Sm. The mid-IR is based on images from the Spitzer Space Telescope archives. The 3.6 and 4.5 micron bands and the UBVJHK images…
The population of Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies is crucial for understanding the extremes of galaxy formation and evolution of the universe. As LSB galaxies are mostly rich in gas (HI), the alpha.40-SDSS DR7 sample is absolutely one…
We present Ha maps at 1kpc spatial resolution for star-forming galaxies at z~1, made possible by the WFC3 grism on HST. Employing this capability over all five 3D-HST/CANDELS fields provides a sample of 2676 galaxies. By creating deep…
We present Very Large Array ({\sc vla}) and Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope ({\sc wsrt}) 21-cm H{\sc i} observations of 19 late-type low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. Our main findings are that these galaxies, as well as having…
We fit elliptical isophotes to the Hubble Deep Field-North WFPC-2 and NICMOS data to study the rest-frame UV_{218}-U_{300} color profiles and rest-frame B surface brightness profiles of 33 intermediate redshift galaxies (0.5 <= z <= 1.2)…
We report the results of J-band infrared spectroscopy of a sample of 13 z=1 field galaxies drawn from the Canada-France Redshift Survey, targeting galaxies whose redshifts place the rest frame H-alpha line emission from HII regions in…
We have performed deep imaging of a diverse sample of 26 low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) in the optical and the near-infrared. Using stellar population synthesis models, we find that it is possible to place constraints on the ratio…

We analyze a clean sample of 1,118 late-type, face-on galaxies without AGN contamination from the MaNGA survey. Their photometric structures are quantified via two-component (bulge+disk) decompositions on deep $g$-band images from the DESI…
Superthin galaxies (STs) are edge-on disc galaxies with strikingly high planar-to-vertical axes ratios of $\sim 10 - 20$ with no bulge component, and central surface brightness in $B$-band $>$ 23 mag arcsec$^{-2}$ comparable to low surface…
