We investigate the bar fraction in galaxy pairs from the SDSS to assess how galaxy interactions affect bar structures. Compared to isolated galaxies, close pairs exhibit a significantly reduced bar fraction at projected separations within…

We measure the z=0 B-band optical luminosity function (LF) for galaxies selected in a blind HI survey. The total LF of the HI selected sample is flat, with Schechter parameters M*=-19.38_{-0.62}^{+1.02} + 5 log h mag and…

In this paper we present gas density, star formation rate, stellar masses, and bulge disk decompositions for a sample of 60 galaxies. Our sample is the combined sample of BIMA SONG, CARMA STING, and PdBI NUGA surveys. We study the effect of…

Low Surface Brightness Galaxies (LSBGs) today constitute the less known fraction of galaxies: their number density and their physical properties (e.g. luminosity, colour, dynamics) are still largely uncertain. This is mainly due to the…

We present deep, pointed $^{12}$CO($J=2-1$) observations of three late-type LSB galaxies. The beam-size was small enough that we could probe different environments (\HI maximum, \HI mininum, star forming region) in these galaxies. No CO was…

We present a study of large-scale bars in field and cluster environments out to redshifts of ~0.8 using a final sample of 945 moderately inclined disk galaxies drawn from the EDisCS project. We characterize bars and their host galaxies and…

One third of present-day spirals host optically visible strong bars that drive their dynamical evolution. However, the fundamental question of how bars evolve over cosmological times has yet to be addressed, and even the frequency of bars…

We investigate the connection between the vertical structure of stellar discs and the formation of bars using high-resolution simulations of galaxies in isolation and in the cosmological context. In particular, we simulate a suite of…

We present evidence of bar-induced secular evolution in galactic discs using 3.6 ${\mu m}$ images of nearby galaxies from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G). We find that among massive galaxies ($M_{star}/M_{sun}>…

We study the evolution of the bar fraction in disc galaxies between $0.5 < z < 4.0$ using multi-band coloured images from JWST CEERS. These images were classified by citizen scientists in a new phase of the Galaxy Zoo project called GZ…

We have used a large format CCD camera to survey the nearby Fornax cluster and its immediate environment for low luminosity low surface brightness galaxies. Recent observations indicate that these are the most dark matter dominated galaxies…

We present the first study of bars in the local Universe, based on the Sloan Digitized Sky Survey (SDSS). The large sample of ~5000 local galaxies provides the largest study to date of local bars and minimizes the effect of cosmic variance.…

We study how bar strength and bar kinematics affect star formation in different regions of the bar by creating radial profiles of EW[H$\alpha$] and D$_{\rm n}$4000 using data from SDSS-IV MaNGA. Bars in galaxies are classified as strong or…

The aim of this work is to study the position of gas-rich and gas-poor galaxy clusters within the large-scale structure and, in particular, their distance to filaments. Our sample is built from 29 of the 34 clusters in the X-ray unbiased…

We present the B band Tully-Fisher relation for Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies. These LSB galaxies follow the same Tully-Fisher relation as normal spiral galaxies. This implies that the mass-to-light ratio (M/L) of LSB galaxies is…

To investigate the structure and composition of the dusty interstellar medium (ISM) of low surface brightness (LSB) disk galaxies, we have used multiwavelength photometry to construct spectral energy distributions for three low-mass,…

Classical low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies pose an important challenge to galaxy evolution models. While they are found to host large reservoirs of atomic hydrogen, they display low stellar and star-formation surface densities. Global…

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…

The fractions and dimension of bars, rings and lenses are studied in the Near-IR S0 galaxy Survey (NIRS0S). We find evidence that multiple lenses in some barred S0s are related to bar resonances in a similar manner as the inner and outer…

The local space density of galaxies as a function of their basic structural parameters -luminosity, surface brightness and scale size- is still poorly known. Our poor knowledge is the result of strong selection biases against low surface…
