Description for Stellar Disk Evolution and Gaseous Disk Turbulence of Dwarf Irregular Galaxies
Hardback. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 184 pages, 15 black & white illustrations, 35 colour illustrations, 10 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: PGC; PGM. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 13. Weight in Grams: 450.
This book focuses on the stellar disk evolution and gas disk turbulence of the most numerous galaxies in the local Universe – the dwarf galaxies. The “outside-in” disk shrinking mode was established for a relatively large sample of dwarf galaxies for the first time, and this is in contrast to the “inside-out” disk growth mode found for spiral galaxies. Double exponential brightness profiles also correspond to double exponential stellar mass profiles for dwarf galaxies, which is again different from most spiral galaxies. The cool gas distribution in dwarf galaxies was probed with the spatial power spectra of hydrogen iodide (HI) ... Read more

About Hong-Xin Zhang
Dr. Hong-Xin Zhang received his Ph.D. in Astrophysics from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in July 2012. His major research project was on the star formation history variations and the interstellar medium turbulence in nearby galaxies. Subsequently, he became a post-doc fellow working with Prof. Eric Peng at the Department of Astronomy, Peking University, focusing on studying the ... Read more
