5 Mar 1997 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | Institute for Astronomy, Honolulu, Hawaii) and Marc A.W. Verheijen (Kapteyn Institute, Groningen, The Netherlands | | Abstract: | The Ursa Major Cluster appears to be unevolved and made up of HI-rich spiral galaxies. B,R,I,K’ photometry has been obtained for 79 galaxies, including 62 in a complete sample with M(B)<-16.5 mag. The K’ information is particularly important for the present discussion because it is not seriously affected by obscuration. There is reasonably convincing evidence that the distribution of exponential disk central surface brightnesses is bimodal. Disks avoid the domain between the high and low surface brightness zones. The few intermediate surface brightness examples in the sample all have significant nearby neighbors. The high surface brightness (HSB) galaxies exhibit a range -21 | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9703029 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
