The total specific angular momentum j of a galaxy disk is matched with that of its dark matter halo, but the distributions are different, in that there is a lack of both low- and high-j baryons with respect to the CDM predictions. I illustrate how the probability density function PDF(j/j_mean) can inform us of a galaxys morphology and evolutionary history with a spanning set of examples from present-day galaxies and a galaxy at z~1.5. The shape of PDF(j/j_mean) is correlated with photometric morphology, with disk-dominated galaxies having more symmetric PDF(j/j_mean) and bulge-dominated galaxies having a strongly-skewed PDF(j/j_mean). Galaxies with bigger bulges have more strongly-tailed PDF(j/j_mean), but disks of all sizes have a similar PDF(j/j_mean). In future, PDF(j/j_mean) will be useful as a kinematic decomposition tool.
Understanding the near-field electromagnetic interactions that produce optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) is central to the integration of twisted light into nanotechnology. Here, we examine the cathodoluminescence (CL) of plasmonic vortices carr
We study the spatially-resolved stellar specific angular momentum $j_*$ in a high-quality sample of 24 CALIFA galaxies covering a broad range of visual morphology, accounting for stellar velocity and velocity dispersion. The shape of the spaxel-wise
We probe the spatial distribution of outflowing gas along four lines of sight separated by up to 6 kpc in a gravitationally-lensed star-forming galaxy at z=1.70. Using MgII and FeII emission and absorption as tracers, we find that the clumps of star
We present gas-phase metallicity and ionization parameter maps of 25 star-forming face-on spiral galaxies from the SAMI Galaxy Survey Data Release 1. Self-consistent metallicity and ionization parameter maps are calculated simultaneously through an i
We use the most extensive integral field spectroscopic map of a local galaxy, NGC 628, combined with gas and stellar mass surface density maps, to study the distribution of metals in this galaxy out to 3 effective radii ($rm R_e$). At each galactocen
