Understanding the formation of stars in galaxies is central to much of modern astrophysics. However, a quantitative prediction of the star formation rate and the initial distribution of …
The rapidly expanding field of galaxy formation lies at the interface between astronomy, particle physics, and cosmology. Covering diverse topics from these disciplines, all of which …

We study the population of galactic discs expected in current hierarchical clustering models for structure formation. A rotationally supported disc with exponential surface density profile …
WJG De Blok - Advances in Astronomy, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
This paper gives an overview of the attempts to determine the distribution of dark matter in low surface brightness disk and gas‐rich dwarf galaxies, both through observations and …
We investigate the effect of metallicity calibrations, AGN classification, and aperture covering fraction on the local mass-metallicity (MZ) relation using 27,730 star-forming galaxies from …
We study the relations between stellar mass, star formation history, size and internal structure for a complete sample of 122 808 galaxies drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky …

ABSTRACT The baryonic Tully–Fisher relation (BTFR) is an empirical relation between baryonic mass and rotation velocity in disk galaxies. It provides tests of galaxy formation …

Abstract We explore the Tully-Fisher relation over five decades in stellar mass in galaxies with circular velocities ranging over 30≲ V c≲ 300 km s-1. We find a clear break in the …
