By applying our previously developed two-step scheme for galaxy morphology classification, we present a catalog of galaxy morphology for H-band selected massive galaxies in the COSMOS-DASH field, which includes 17292 galaxies with stellar…
The origin and maintenance of spiral structure in galaxies, the correlation between different types of spiral structure and several proposed mechanisms for their generation, and the evolution of spiral arms of galaxies with time are…
Context. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely used for automated galaxy morphological classification in large surveys. However, projection effects, image artefacts, and intrinsic degeneracies limit reliable identification of…
An extensive catalog of spatially-resolved galaxy rotation curves and multi-band optical light profiles for 1752 observed spiral galaxies is assembled to explore the drivers of diversity in galaxy structural parameters, rotation curve…
Within the framework of our program of assessment of the nature of unidentified or poorly known INTEGRAL sources, we present here spectroscopy of optical objects, selected through positional cross-correlation with soft X-ray detections…
A full ring is a form of galaxy morphology that is not associated with a specific stage on the Hubble sequence. Digital sky surveys can collect many millions of galaxy images, and therefore even rare forms of galaxies are expected to be…
The HERON project is aimed at studying halos and low surface brightness details near galaxies. In this second HERON paper we consider in detail deep imaging (down to surface brightness of ~28 mag/arcsec$^2$ in the r band) for 35 galaxies,…
We propose to describe the variety of galaxies from SDSS by using only one affine parameter. To this aim, we build the Principal Curve (P-curve) passing through the spine of the data point cloud, considering the eigenspace derived from…
We investigate the synthetic model of globular cluster (GC) systems of 17 compact massive galaxies (CMGs) from the Illustris TNG100 simulation to explore their connection with massive relic galaxies, systems that have undergone little…
Compact groups (CGs) of galaxies appear to be the densest galaxy systems containing a few luminous galaxies in close proximity to each other, which have a typical size of a few tens kilopacsec in observation. On the other hand, in the…
Water vortices are known to develop polygon structures inside their cores. The apexes of the polygonal manifestations are the result of satellite vortices attached to the parent vortex. Exploiting the analogy between the shallow water…
Shells are fine stellar structures identified by their arc-like shapes present around a galaxy and currently thought to be vestiges of galaxy interactions and/or mergers. The study of their number, geometry, stellar populations and gas…
An atlas of Ks-band images of 206 early-type galaxies is presented, including 160 S0-S0/a galaxies, 12 ellipticals, and 33 Sa galaxies. A majority of the Atlas galaxies belong to a magnitude-limited (mB<12.5 mag) sample of 185 NIRS0S…
The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) is the largest available database of deep, homogeneous middle-infrared (mid-IR) images of galaxies of all types. The survey, which includes 2352 nearby galaxies, reveals galaxy…
We present visual-like morphologies over 16 photometric bands, from ultra-violet to near infrared, for 8,412 galaxies in the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH) obtained by a convolutional neural network (CNN) model.…
The majority of galaxies in the local Universe exhibit spiral structure with a variety of forms. Many galaxies possess two prominent spiral arms, some have more, while others display a many-armed flocculent appearance. Spiral arms are…
We study the strong gravitational lensing properties of galaxy clusters obtained from N-body simulations with standard $\Lambda$CDM cosmology. We have used the 32 most massive clusters from a simulation at various redshifts and ray-traced…
Filamentary structure is important for the ISM and star formation. Galactic distribution of filaments may regulate the star formation rate in the Milky Way. However, interstellar filaments are intrinsically complex, making it difficult to…
We propose a theory to explain the formation of spiral arms and of all types of outer rings in barred galaxies, extending and applying the technique used in celestial mechanics to compute transfer orbits. Thus, our theory is based on the…
We investigate how the properties of spiral arms relate to other fundamental galaxy properties. To this end, we use previously published measurements of those properties, and our own measurements of arm-interarm luminosity contrasts for a…
