Kinematics, Dynamics and Star Formation in Galaxy Disks and their Implication on Distance Indicators

星系盘的运动学、动力学和恒星形成及其对距离指示器的意义。Drs。海恩斯和赫特将继续研究盘状星系的性质以及由此衍生的性质对距离指示器的影响。这项工作包括四个基本方面。他们将完成对螺旋星系的全面研究，包括在当地宇宙的11个星系团中超过500个中性氢光谱和I波段图像以及350个光学旋转曲线。他们将通过射电和光学观测，在一个非相互作用的螺旋星系样本中，研究恒星和气体的详细分布和运动学。他们将通过光学和无线电波长观测继续研究螺旋星系和不规则星系盘中的恒星形成过程。他们将继续使用红外和光学观测来研究星暴星系。==============================================

AST-9528860 Martha Haynes Terry Herter Kinematics, Dynamics and Star Formation in Galaxy Disks and Their Implication on Distance Indicators. Drs. Haynes and Herter will continue a study of the properties of disk galaxies and the implications of the derived properties on distance indicators. The work covers four basic areas. They will complete a comprehensive study of spiral galaxies which includes over 500 neutral hydrogen spectra and I band images and 350 optical rotation curves in 11 clusters of galaxies in the local universe. They will investigate the detailed distribution and kinematics of stars and gas within a sample of non- interacting, spiral galaxies in the local supercluster with radio and optical observations. They will continue an investigation of the star formation process in the disks of spiral and irregular galaxies through optical and radio-wavelength observations. And they will continue to study starburst galaxies using infrared and optical observations. ==============================================
