We investigate the stellar kinematics of the bulge and disk components in 826 galaxies with a wide range of morphology from the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral-field spectroscopy (SAMI) Galaxy Survey. The spatially-resolved rotation…
We present a set of detailed, self-consistent, isotropic dynamical models for disc galaxies. We start from the hypothesis that each galaxy can be decomposed in a bulge, following the r^{1/4} law, and a disc with an exponential projected…
We present a novel Bayesian method, referred to as Blobby3D, to infer gas kinematics that mitigates the effects of beam smearing for observations using Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS). The method is robust for regularly rotating galaxies…
We describe methods for setting up self-consistent disk-bulge-halo galaxy models. The bulge and halo distribution functions (\df) are functions of $E$ and $L_z$ only. The halo's flattening and rotation can be specified. The disk \df\ is a…

We derive single S\'ersic fits and bulge-disk decompositions for 13096 galaxies at redshifts z < 0.08 in the GAMA II equatorial survey regions in the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) g, r and i bands. The surface brightness fitting is performed…
Disk-halo decompositions of galaxy rotation curves are generally performed in a parametric way. We construct self-consistent models of nonspherical isothermal halos embedding a zero-thickness disk, by assuming that the halo distribution…

We present an axisymmetric, equilibrium model for late-type galaxies which consists of an exponential disk, a Sersic bulge, and a cuspy dark halo. The model is specified by a phase space distribution function which, in turn, depends on the…
We describe hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation in a Lambda cold dark matter (CDM) cosmology performed using a subresolution model for star formation and feedback in a multiphase interstellar medium (ISM). In particular, we…
Because of the 3D nature of galaxies, an algorithm for constructing spatial density distribution models of galaxies on the basis of galaxy images has many advantages over surface density distribution approximations. We present a method for…
