AbstractWe present the spectral properties of a large sample of nearly face-on low surface brightness (LSB) disk galaxies selected from the SDSS-DR4 main galaxy sample. About 12,282 LSB galaxies have been selected from the photometry database with their B-band central surface brightness μ0(B) ranging from 22 to 24.5 mag arcsec−2. About 7000 of such LSBGs have measured emission lines ([OII]3727, [OIII]5007, Hβ, Hα, [NII]6583) with the S/N ratio greater than 5σ. Their spectral diagnostic diagram of [NII]/Hα vs. [OIII]/Hβ shows that ~89% of them are star-forming galaxies, and ~11% could be classified as AGNs. The relations of μ0(B) vs. 12+log(O/H) and μ0(B) vs. stellar masses M* of these star-forming LSB galaxies show that their O/H and M* increase following the increasing μ0(B). The majority of these LSBGs are on the higher branch of metallicity.

AbstractA large sample of low surface brightness (LSB) disk galaxies is selected from SDSS with B-band central surface brightness μ0(B) from 22 to 24.5 mag arcsec−2. Some of their properties are studied, such as magnitudes, surface brightness, scalelengths, colors, metallicities, stellar populations, stellar masses and multiwavelength SEDs from UV to IR etc. These properties of LSB galaxies have been compared with those of the galaxies with higher surface brightnesses. Then we check the variations of these properties following surface brightness.

AbstractWe present the properties of a large sample (12,282) of nearly face-on low surface brightness disk galaxies selected from the main galaxy sample of SDSS-DR4. Those properties includes B-band central surface brightness μ0(B), scale lengths h, distances D, integrated magnitudes, colors and some resulted relations. This sample has μ0(B) from 22 to 24.5 mag arcsec−2 with a median value of 22.44 mag arcsec−2. They are quite bright with MB taking values from −18 to −23 mag with a median value of −20.08 mag. The disk scale lengths h are from 2 kpc to 19 kpc. There exist clear correlations between log h and MB, log h and log D. Both the optical-optical and optical-NIR color-color relations show most of them have a mix of young and old stellar populations.

ABSTRACT We select a volume-limited sample of galaxies derived from the SDSS DR7 to study the environment of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies at different scales, as well as several physical properties of the dark matter haloes where the LSB galaxies of the sample are embedded. To characterize the environment, we make use of a number of publicly available value-added galaxy catalogues. We find a slight preference for LSB galaxies to be found in filaments instead of clusters, with their mean distance to the nearest filament typically larger than for high surface brightness (HSB) galaxies. The fraction of isolated central LSB galaxies is higher than the same fraction for HSB ones, and the density of their local environment lower. The stellar-to-halo mass ratio using four different estimates is up to ∼20 per cent for HSB galaxies. LSB central galaxies present more recent assembly times when compared with their HSB counterparts. Regarding the λ spin parameter, using six different proxies for its estimation, we find that LSB galaxies present systematically larger values of λ than the HSB galaxy sample, and constructing a control sample with direct kinematic information drawn from ALFALFA, we confirm that the spin parameter of LSB galaxies is 1.6–2 times larger than the one estimated for their HSB counterparts.

ABSTRACT We investigate the properties of the baryonic and the dark matter components in low surface brightness (LSB) disc galaxies, with central surface brightness in the B band $\mu _0 \ge 23 \, \mathrm{mag \, arcsec}^{-2}$. The sample is composed of 72 objects, whose rotation curves show an orderly trend reflecting the idea of a universal rotation curve (URC) similar to that found in the local high surface brightness (HSB) spirals in previous works. This curve relies on the mass modelling of the co-added rotation curves, involving the contribution from an exponential stellar disc and a Burkert cored dark matter halo. We find that the dark matter is dominant especially within the smallest and less luminous LSB galaxies. Dark matter haloes have a central surface density $\Sigma _0 \sim 100 \, \mathrm{M}_{\odot } \, \mathrm{pc}^{-2}$, similar to galaxies of different Hubble types and luminosities. We find various scaling relations among the LSBs structural properties which turn out to be similar but not identical to what has been found in HSB spirals. In addition, the investigation of these objects calls for the introduction of a new luminous parameter, the stellar compactness C* (analogously to a recent work by Karukes & Salucci), alongside the optical radius and the optical velocity in order to reproduce the URC. Furthermore, a mysterious entanglement between the properties of the luminous and the dark matter emerges.

We use optical, long-slit rotation curves to derive the slope of the central density profile in three blue disk galaxies with very faint central surface brightness values. We find the result to be in conflict with current cold dark matter predictions and to lend further support for pseudo-isothermal spheres as superior models for the dark halos of galaxies.

AbstractMassive low surface brightness galaxies have disk central surface brightnesses at least one magnitude fainter than the night sky, but total magnitudes and masses that show they are among the largest galaxies known. Like all low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies, massive LSB galaxies are often in the midst of star formation yet their stellar light has remained diffuse, raising the question of how star formation is proceeding within these galaxies. We have undertaken a multi-wavelength study to clarify the structural parameters and stellar and gas content of these enigmatic systems. The results of these studies, which include HI, CO, optical, near UV, and far UV images of the galaxies will provide the most in depth study done to date of how, when, and where star formation proceeds within this unique subset of the galaxy population.

The 21.65-“law” for disk galaxies has been debated ever since Freeman's (1970) paper in which he found that for 28 out of 36 galaxies the extrapolated central surface brightness of the exponential disk component I0, follows this rule with little intrinsic scatter. Some people think it significant, while others invoke selection effects. Bosma and Freeman (1982) made a new attempt to clarify this problem by studying ratios of diameters of disk galaxies on the various Sky Surveys in a region of overlap. The limiting surface brightness levels were calibrated to be 24.6 and 25.6 magn/arcsec2 for the Palomar blue prints and the SRC J films, resp. The distribution of the ratio Γ = diameter (SRC) / diameter (PAL) gives a measure of the true distribution of Io if the galaxy has an exponential disk in the brightness interval 24.6 to 25.6; e.g. Io = 21.6 corresponds to Γ = 1.32, Io = 22.6 to Γ = 1.50 and Io = 23.6 to Γ = 1.90, etc.

AbstractUltra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have sizes comparable to the Milky Way and stellar masses of about 1/1000 of it. They attracted a lot of attention as possible “dark galaxies” heavily dominated by dark matter, however, no reliable dynamical mass estimates were done because of their extremely low surface brightness. We have recently found 13 gas free diffuse young (300–500 Myr) post-starburst galaxies (PSGs) without ongoing star formation in Coma and Abell 2147, which, should they continue to evolve passively, will become UDGs in 5 Gyr. We obtained deep spectroscopic observations for 11 diffuse PSGs and derived their internal kinematics and stellar population properties. All of them possess disk-like kinematics (substantial rotation, low stellar velocity dispersion) and likely experienced starburst episodes prior to the star formation quenching by ram pressure stripping. Our results suggest that at least some UDGs were “normal” intermediate to large-sized disk galaxies in the past, which were later quenched by dense environment.

We have been working on multiband surface photometry, spectrophotometry and Hi synthesis data for 20 Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies. LSB galaxies are well described by disks with an average central surface brightness of ∼ 23.4B-mag arcsec–2. They have scale lengths typical for high surface brightness (HSB) galaxies, though a large range of sizes is present. Their colours are blue, especially at the red side of the spectrum, where they are significantly bluer than HSB galaxies (de Blok et al. 1995a). Modelling and measurements of gas abundances (McGaugh 1994) suggests a low, stochastic star formation rate, and a lack of a large old population. The Hi surface densities are a factor of three lower than those in HSB galaxies (de Blok et al 1995b). However the difference is not as large as in the optical. The Hi disks are considerably larger, relative to the optical disks, than in HSB galaxies. The gas mass fraction is higher, indicating slow evolution. Star formation is inhibited by the low surface densities which are typically below the critical treshold as stipulated by Toomre's gravitational instability criterion. The rotation curves rise gradually, and are observed to flatten out only in a few cases. Often they still rise at the last measured point, or remain solid body through-out. Preliminary mass models suggest extended low density dark matter halos, with baryon dominated inner regions. The inferred evolution for LSB galaxies shows mass and density are fundamental parameters in determining a galaxy's evolutionary fate.
