We present a new version of the list of peculiar velocities of 1561 flat edge-on spirals from the RFGC catalogue. It differs from the previous version by 233 new data and 34 corrected data. A new regression was used for distances estimation…
We present a new analysis of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data aimed at producing a detailed map of the nearby (z < 0.5) universe. Using neural networks trained on the available spectroscopic base of knowledge we derived distance estimates…
We investigate distortions in the velocity fields of disc galaxies and their use to reveal the dynamical state of interacting galaxies at different redshift. For that purpose, we model disc galaxies in combined N-body/hydrodynamic…
This study developed an automated identification procedure for compact clouds with broad velocity widths in the spectral line data cubes of highly crowded regions. The procedure was applied to the CO J=3-2 line data, obtained using the…
We have studied the pitch angles of spiral arms for 31 distant galaxies at z~0.7 from three Hubble Deep Fields (HDF-N, HDF-S, HUDF). Using the pitch angle - rotation velocity relation calibrated from nearby galaxies, we have estimated the…
Research in extrasolar-planet science is data-driven. With the advent of radial-velocity instruments like HARPS and HARPS-N, and transit space missions like Kepler, our ability to discover and characterise extrasolar planets is no longer…
The investigation of the statistical properties of maps of line centroids has been used for almost 50 years, but there is still no general agreement on their interpretation. We try to quantify which properties of underlying turbulent…
This document presents (off-line) computing requrements and challenges for Cosmic Frontier science, covering the areas of data management, analysis, and simulations. We invite contributions to extend the range of covered topics and to…
The low-order kinematic moments of galaxies, namely bulk flow and shear, enables us to test whether theoretical models can accurately describe the evolution of the mass density field in the nearby Universe. We use the so-called etaMLE…
This work presents a study of galactic outflows driven by stellar feedback. We extract main sequence disc galaxies with stellar mass $10^9\le$ M$_{\star}/$M$_{\odot} \le 5.7\times10^{10}$ at redshift $z=0$ from the highest resolution…
The study of multiple extrasolar planetary systems has the opportunity to obtain constraints for the planetary masses and orbital inclinations via the detection of mutual perturbations. The analysis of precise radial velocity measurements…
We use observations and simulation to study the relationship between star-forming galaxies and the intergalactic medium at z~3. The observed galaxy sample is based on spectroscopic redshift data from a combination of the VLT LBG Redshift…
It has been suggested that high velocity clouds may be distributed throughout the Local Group and are therefore not in general associated with the Milky Way galaxy. With the aim of testing this hypothesis, we have made observations in the…
We present a new, detailed, analysis of the spatial distribution of Galactic HII regions, exploiting a far richer database than used in previous analyses. Galactocentric distances have been derived for 550 objects. Distances from the Sun…
Galaxies are arranged in interconnected walls and filaments forming a cosmic web encompassing huge, nearly empty, regions between the structures. Many statistical methods have been proposed in the past in order to describe the galaxy…
Recent results from a multiwavelength survey of spatially resolved outflows in nearby active galaxies are presented. Optical Fabry-Perot and long-slit spectroscopic data are combined with VLA and ROSAT images, when available, to probe the…
Using redshifts as a proxy for galaxy distances, estimates of the 2D transverse peculiar velocities of distant galaxies could be obtained from future measurements of proper motions. We provide the mathematical framework for analyzing 2D…
The trajectories since z=4 of systems of galaxies (`halos') with cz < 8,000 km/s are found through Numerical Action reconstructions. A set of 9,719 halos from a 2MASS group catalog and Cosmicflows-3 catalogs are given attention. Present…
Space-time correlation functions constitute a useful instrument from the research toolkit of continuous-media and many-body physics. We adopt here this concept for single-particle random walks and demonstrate that the corresponding…
Distances play important roles in cosmological observations, especially in gravitational lens systems, but there is a problem in determining distances because they are defined in terms of light propagation, which is influenced…
