Abstract: Classification of edge-on galaxies is important to astronomical studies due to our Milky Way galaxy being an edge-on galaxy. Edge-on galaxies pose a problem to classification due to their less overall brightness levels and smaller… read more here.

Abstract: We study the vertical distribution of the highly inclined galaxies from the Continuum Halos in Nearby Galaxies—an EVLA Survey (CHANG-ES). We explore the feasibility of photometrically deriving the H i disk scale heights from the… read more here.

Abstract: We study the prospects of detecting magnetic helicity in galaxies by observing the dust polarization of the edge-on galaxy NGC 891. Our numerical results of mean-field dynamo calculations show that there should be a large-scale… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac3047
Abstract: The short-lived buckling instability is responsible for the formation of at least some box/peanut (B/P) shaped bulges, which are observed in most massive, z = 0, barred galaxies. Nevertheless, it has also been suggested that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stw1854
Abstract: We present a new strategy for fitting the structure and kinematics of the H I in edge-on galaxies using a fit to the terminal-velocity channel maps of a H I data cube. The strategy can… read more here.
