Galaxies

• Eymeren et al.
• http://arxiv.org/abs/0709.2974
• extended H-alpha emssion around starbursts
• deep narrow-band images & slit spectra of NGC 2366 and NGC 4861
• outflows

• Tassis et al.
• http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0609763
• Dwarf galaxies: correlations between their global stellar and dynamical properties, such as circular velocity, mass-to-light ratio, stellar mass, surface brightness, and metallicity.
• low and high z
• simulation work
• SN winds vs. ineficient SF
• useful to compare to where our data fall on these correlations

Two very cool videos I found in the internets the other day.

Putting various round celestial bodies besides each other, going from small to big. Even though working with things on big scales, I thought it would end several zooming steps too early. Stars can be BIG:

And a virtual flight through the enormous amount of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey:
