High resolution Fabry-Perot data of six spiral galaxies are presented. Those data extend the previous sample of spiral galaxies studied with high resolution 3D spectroscopy to earlier morphological types. All the galaxies in the sample have available HI data at 21 cm from the VLA or Westerbork. Velocity fields are analyzed and Halpha rotation curves are computed and compared to HI curves. The kinematics of NGC 5055 central regions are looked at more closely. Its peculiar kinematics can be interpreted either as a bipolar outflow or as a counter-rotating disk, possibly hosting a 9 pm 2 10^8 Msol compact object. Most of the Halpha rotation curves present a significantly steeper inner slope than their HI counterparts. The 21 cm data thus seems affected by moderate to strong beam smearing. The beam smearing has an effect at higher scale-length/beam-width than previously thought (up to 20 km/s at a ratio of 8.5).
Using the example of the Sd galaxy NGC 5585, it is shown that high resolution 2-D HII kinematical data are necessary to determine accurately the parameters of the mass distribution in spirals. New CFHT Fabry-Perot Halpha observations are combined wit
New high resolution CFHT Fabry-Perot data, combined with published VLA 21 cm observations are used to determine the mass distribution of NGC 3109 and IC 2574. The multi-wavelength rotation curves allow to test with confidence different dark halo func
We present new calculations of the attenuation of stellar light from spiral galaxies using geometries for stars and dust which can reproduce the entire spectral energy distribution from the UV to the FIR/submm and can also account for the surface bri
Recently, it has been shown that a correlation exists between the rate of shear and the spiral arm pitch angle in disk galaxies. The rate of shear depends upon the shape of the rotation curve, which is dependent upon the mass distribution in spiral g
We analyse a high-resolution, fully cosmological, hydrodynamical disc galaxy simulation, to study the source of the double-exponential light profiles seen in many stellar discs, and the effects of stellar radial migration upon the spatio-temporal evo
