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.

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.

Within the hierarchical CDM framework, gas-poor mergers contribute substantially to the building of the most massive galaxies (Faber et al. 2007). We want to test this scenario by studying the fundamental plane (FP) and the stellar populations of the most massive galaxies. We investigate a well-defined sample of massive early-type galaxies at 0.1<z<0.4, identified from the SDSS database. Out of 42,000 possible targets in the SDSS database, we extracted 23 luminous early-type galaxies with bona fide high velocity dispersions of σ>350 km s−1. These systems are located either in high or low-density environments and show a variety of small surface-brightness structure. Using archival HST/ACS images and Gemini/GMOS spectroscopy, we will explore the photometric and spectroscopic properties of these galaxies.

AbstractWe present preliminary results from two observing campaigns where global photometric data for most dwarf galaxies in the M81 and M101 groups as well as some field dwarfs were obtained. The galaxies in the denser M81 group are more often of dwarf elliptical type and are redder and fainter than those of the M101 group and surrounding field, which are mostly of the dwarf irregular types. But both types follow the same total magnitude - central surface brightness relation, so there might be an evolutionary connection between the two classes.

In order to test the prediction that many Galactic globular clusters have undergone core collapse (Lightman 1982, Cohn and Hut 1984) and should therefore have central surface brightness cusps, we have obtained UBVR CCD frames of the cores of 72 clusters. We present and analyze U-band surface brightness profiles for three clusters: one “control cluster” with a normal flat core profile — NGC 6388 — and two with central power law cusps — NGC 6624 and M15 (NGC 7078).

AbstractHere we present results on the effects of dust on the derived Sérsic index of disks and bulges. This is part of a larger study (see Pastrav et al. 2012a, Pastrav et al. 2012b) that quantifies the dust effects on all photometric parameters, including scale-lengths, axis-ratios, central surface brightness and effective radii of individual and decomposed (from B/D decomposition) disks and bulges. The effects of dust are derived for both broadband and narrow line (Balmer lines) images. The changes in the derived photometric parameters from their intrinsic values (as seen in the absence of dust) were obtained by fitting simulated images of disks and bulges produced using radiative transfer calculations and the model of Popescu et al. (2011). This study follows on the analysis of Möllenhoff et al. (2006), who quantified the effects of dust on the photometry of old stellar disks seen at low and intermediate inclination. We extend the study to disks at all inclinations and we investigate the changes in the photometry of young stellar disks and bulges. For the individual components, in the majority of cases: 1) the dust lowers the Sérsic index from its intrinsic value; 2) the Sérsic index decreases as the inclination and the B band central face-on dust opacity, τBf, increase. For the decomposed disks and bulges, dust slightly increases the Sérsic index as compared with the one derived on individual components (e.g. Fig. 1); this effect is stronger for higher values of the inclination, τBf and B/D.
