We present HST images of star-forming galaxies at redshifts z>3. These galaxies have been color selected for having a Lyman discontinuity in the otherwise flat (in f_\nu units) UV spectra of unreddened star formation. The spectroscopic…

In twenty years, low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies have evolved from being an idiosyncratic notion to being one of the major baryonic repositories in the Universe. The story of their discovery and the characterization of their…

We revisit the HI size-mass (D$_{\rm HI}$-M$_{\rm HI}$) relation of galaxies with a sample of more than 500 nearby galaxies covering over five orders of magnitude in HI mass and more than ten $B$-band magnitudes. The relation is remarkably…

We present a study of the ionized gas in a sample of 65 nearby early-type galaxies, for which we have acquired optical intermediate-resolution spectra. Emission lines are detected in ~89 % of the sample. The incidence of emission appears…

We report the identification of elongated (triaxial or prolate) galaxies in cosmological simulations at $z\simeq2$. These are preferentially low-mass galaxies ($M_s \le 10^{9.5} \ M_\odot$), residing in dark-matter (DM) haloes with strongly…

Many of the fundamental properties of early-type galaxies (ellipticals and lenticulars) can only be accessed by venturing beyond their oft-studied centers into their large-radius halo regions. Advances in observations of kinematical tracers…

We analyze a sample of galaxies with stellar masses greater than $10^{10} M_{\odot}$ and with redshifts in the range $0.025<z<0.05$ for which HI mass measurements are available from the GALEX Arecibo SDSS Survey (GASS) or from the Arecibo…

We use deep HI observations obtained as part of the extended GALEX Arecibo SDSS survey (xGASS) to study the cold gas properties of central galaxies across environments. We find that, below stellar masses of 10^10.2 Msun, central galaxies in…

We present resolved HI and CO observations of three galaxies from the HIghMass sample, a sample of HI-massive ($M_{HI} > 10^{10} M_\odot$), gas-rich ($M_{HI}$ in top $5\%$ for their $M_*$) galaxies identified in the ALFALFA survey. Despite…

We have studied the morphologies of luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs; L_IR(8-1000um)>10^11 Lsun) at 0.3< z<1.4 in the HST Ultradeep Field (UDF) by calculating concentration and asymmetry indices and comparing the results with similar…

To investigate the role of morphology in galaxy evolution, we analyze the relationships between galaxy structure, star formation, and HI gas content. Using multi-band images from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys, we perform detailed…

The disk positions for galaxies of various morphological and nuclear-activity types (normal galaxies, QSO, Sy, E/S0, low-surface brightness galaxies, etc.) on the "central surface brightness - exponential scalelength" plane are considered.…

Large-scale asymmetries (i.e. lopsidedness) are a common feature in the stellar density distribution of nearby disk galaxies both in low- and high-density environments. In this work, we characterize the present-day lopsidedness in a sample…

The results of photometric decomposition of surface brightness distributions in 85 early-type unbarred galaxies are presented. The SDSS r-images are analysed. Double-tiered exponential disks are found in all galaxies which are studied; the…

We find that the density distribution of high and low surface brightness (SB) galaxy disks formed within LCDM halos under the assumption of detailed angular momentum conservation is in rough agreement with observations. The luminous-to-dark…

We present a statistical study of the properties of diffuse HI in ten nearby galaxies, comparing the HI detected by the single-dish telescope FAST (FEASTS program) and the interferometer VLA (THINGS program), respectively. The THINGS'…

Luminous compact blue galaxies (LCBGs) are a diverse class of galaxies characterized by high luminosity, blue color, and high surface brightness that sit at the critical juncture of galaxies evolving from the blue to the red sequence. As…

It now becomes possible to perform multiphase studies of the ISM from hot to molecular phases. HI and HII in star--forming gas-rich galaxies seem to exhibit differences in their metal composition in the sense that HII is less enriched in…

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…
