AbstractWe study the stellar populations of a large sample of nearly face-on disk Low Surface Brightness Galaxies (LSBGs), with B-band central surface brightness μ0(B) > 22 mag arcsec−2, selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 (SDSS-DR4) main galaxy sample (similar to Zhong et al. 2008; Liang et al. 2010).

AbstractBased on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR 7, we investigate the environment, morphology, and stellar population of bulgeless low surface-brightness (LSB) galaxies in a volume-limited sample with redshift ranging from 0.024 to 0.04 and Mr ≤ −18.8. We find that, for bulgeless galaxies, the surface brightness does not depend on the environment. Irregular LSB galaxies have more young stars and are more metal-poor than regular LSB galaxies. These results suggest that the evolution of LSB galaxies may be driven by their dynamics, including mergers rather than by their large-scale environment.

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.

AbstractThe reasons for the presence of two branches of galaxy evolution, one producing high surface brightness disks and one creating low surface brightness disks, is still unknown. Possible are the imprint of the properties of the dark matter halo, as well as evolutionary effects. In this paper we present an analysis of the clustering properties of LSB and HSB galaxies using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We show that LSB galaxies reside in regions of lower galaxy density than HSB galaxies on all scales between 0.8 and 8 Mpc, from scales of galaxy pairs to filaments of the Large Scale Structure. This implies a probable scenario of LSB galaxies preferentially forming as a result of local peaks in the large-scale valleys of the primordial density distribution.

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.

Low Surface Brightness Galaxies

During the past few years there have been a number of surveys for low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs). Searches using both photographic and CCD data have shown that LSBGs are actually very numerous (Impey, Bothun & Malin 1987; Irwin et al. 1990). However, they are seriously biased against in any random sky survey, and even in a cluster area there are inherent size and signal-to-noise problems. The number of objects we can detect are therefore limited in two ways.

AbstractIt has been observed that the ratio of Hα to FUV luminosity (LHα/LFUV) is lower in low surface brightness galaxies. This behaviour has been attributed to systematic variations of the upper mass end and/or the slope of the Initial Mass Function (IMF) Meurer et al. (2009) and Lee et al. (2009)). However these hypotheses do not explain the observed scatter in luminosity ratio (LHα/LFUV). We present a model for the total LHα and LFUV luminosity arising from a randomly populated IMF following the Salpeter power law and the clustering law of Oey & Clarke (2007).

AbstractThis study presents a tomographic survey of a subset of the outer halo (10–40 kpc) drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 6. Halo substructure on spatial scales of >3 degrees is revealed as an excess in the local density of sub-giant stars. With an appropriate assumption of a model stellar isochrone it is possible for us to then derive distances to the sub-giant population. We describe three new candidate halo substructures; the 160- and 180-degree over-densities (at distances of 17 and 19 kpc respectively and radii of 1.3 and 1.5 kpc respectively) and an extended feature at 28 kpc that covers at least 162 deg2, the Virgo Equatorial Stream. In addition, we recover the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy (Sgr) leading-arm material and the Virgo Over-Density.The derived distances, together with the number of sub-giant stars associated with each substructure, enables us to derive the integrated luminosity for the features. The tenuous, low surface brightness of the features strongly suggests an origin from the tidal disruption of an accreted galaxy or galaxies. Given the dominance of the tidal debris of Sgr in this region of the sky we investigate if our observations can be accommodated by tidal disruption models for Sgr. The clear discordance between observations and model predictions for known Sgr features means it is difficult to tell unambiguously if the new substructures are related to Sgr or not. Radial velocities in the stellar over-densities will be critical in establishing their origins.
