Collaborative Project: The Properties of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Bothun, Gregory AST 96-17011 Dr. Bothun will continue the discovery and detailed study of low surface brightness members of the general galaxy population in two ways. The first is to continue observations at radio and optical wavelengths to more fully constrain the stellar populations, gas and dust content, and metallicity of low surface brightness galaxies. The second is to study the populations of these galaxies from new CCD surveys, especially the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and to better understand the result of any selection effects. This is a collaborative project with Dr. Christopher Impey at the University of Arizona.
