Axis-symmetric ring systems can be identified from the new catalog of collisional ring galaxies in Madore et al. (2009). These are O-type-like collisional ring galaxies. Head-on collisions by dwarf galaxies moving along the symmetric axis…
The probability of plunging orbits is enhanced in groups of galaxies and indeed, observations show that ring galaxies, which are believed to form when a galaxy passes through the center of a larger rotating disk, are often found in small…
An analytic theory of the waves in colliding ring galaxies was presented some years ago, but the observations where not of sufficient quality then to make quantitative comparisons. Well-resolved observations of a few systems are now…
Rings are important and characteristic features of disc-shaped galaxies. This paper is the first in a series which re-visits galactic rings with the goals of further understanding the nature of the features and for examining their role in…
Ring galaxies are an uncommon class of galaxies whose morphology is closely related to dynamical processes that govern galaxy evolution. Some ring galaxies, known as "collisional ring galaxies", are thought to form as a consequence of…
We report the serendipitous discovery of a collision ring galaxy, identified as 2MASX J06470249+4554022, which we have dubbed 'Auriga's Wheel', found in a SUPRIME-CAM frame as part of a larger Milky Way survey. This peculiar class of…
Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 images of the Local Group dwarf galaxy Tucana reveal an unbiased sample of distant field galaxies. While a large number of these galaxies can be classified according to standard Hubble types, a significant…
We present new multi-band imaging data in the optical (BVRI and Halpha) and near infrared bands (JHK) of 15 candidate ring galaxies from the sample of Appleton & Marston (1997). We use these data to obtain color composite images, global…
Understanding the formation and evolution of ring galaxies, which possess an atypical ring-like structure, is crucial for advancing knowledge of black holes and galaxy dynamics. However, current catalogs of ring galaxies are limited, as…
Polar-ring galaxies are multi-spin systems, showing star formation in a blue late-type component, perpendicular to a red early-type one, revealing how galaxy formation can sometimes occur in successive steps. We perform two-dimensional…
We re-examine the 7,070 candidate ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the SMUDGes survey and provide classifications based on their visual morphology. Among the more interesting cases, we identify objects along a low surface brightness galaxy…
We have found the peculiar galaxy NGC922 to be a new drop-through ring galaxy using multi-wavelength (UV-radio) imaging and spectroscopic observations. Its `C'-shaped morphology and tidal plume indicate a recent strong interaction with its…
The typical galaxy in the local universe is expected to be in a self-regulated quasi-equilibrium, displaying a settled morphology that falls within the Hubble Sequence. The Arp and Arp-Madore catalogs are filled with striking examples of…
This paper presents a morphology classification catalog of spiral and ring features of 59,854 magnitude-limited galaxies ($r<17.8$ mag, and additional 628,005 subsamples down to $r=20$ mag) at $z=0.01-0.3$ based on the Third Public Data…
We report observations of 16 candidate polar ring galaxies (PRGs) identified by the Galaxy Zoo project in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) database. Deep images of five galaxies are available in the SDSS Stripe82 database, while to reach…
A catalog of 232 apparently interacting galaxy pairs of the M51 class is presented. Catalog members were identified from visual inspection of mult-band images in the IRSA archive. The major findings in the compilation of this catalog are…
Polar-ring galaxies are photometrically and kinematically decoupled systems which are highly inclined to the major axis of the host galaxy. These objects have been explored since the 1970s, but the rarity of these systems has made such…
Collisional ring galaxies are the outcome of nearly axisymmetric high-speed encounters between a disc and an intruder galaxy. We investigate the properties of collisional ring galaxies as a function of the impact parameter, the initial…
The ring structures of disk galaxies are vital for understanding galaxy evolution and dynamics. However, due to the scarcity of ringed galaxies and challenges in their identification, traditional methods often struggle to efficiently obtain…
The catalog of ringed galaxies was compiled through visual classification of synthetic images from the TNG50 simulation. Galaxies were selected based on specific criteria: a redshift range of $0.01 < z < 0.1$, stellar mass $M_\star >10^9…
