The three major spiral galaxies in the Local Group are known to be warped. The question is investigated of whether or not these three warps are aligned. Using...

This series of papers aims at understanding the formation and evolution of non-barred disc galaxies. We use the new spectro-photometric decomposition code, C2D...

Galaxy formation models typically assume that the size and rotation speed of galaxy discs are largely dictated by the mass, concentration and spin of their...

We investigate the origin of stars in the innermost 500 pc of galaxies spanning stellar masses of $5\times 10^{8-12}\, \mathrm{M}_{\odot }$ at z = 0 using the...

We present a search for new members of the 300 km s‑1 stream (300S) near the dwarf galaxy Segue 1 using wide-field survey data. We identify 11 previously...

We present a complete study of the diffuse ionized gas (DIG) in a sample of six spiral galaxies (NGC 157, NGC 3359, NGC 3631, NGC 6764, NGC 6951, NGC 7479)...

In this paper we make a quantitative study of the hypothesis that the diffuse Hα emitted from the discs of spiral galaxies owes its origin to the ionizing...

To test recent suggestions that the infrared emission of low-luminosity AGN arises in a truncated thin accretion disk, we compare recent, high-resolution IR...

We analyse a high-resolution, fully cosmological, hydrodynamical disc galaxy simulation, to study the source of the double-exponential light profiles seen in...
