Lambas et al. (1992): distributions of the apparent axial ratios of the APM galaxies (S0 and spirals). Two distributions are very different. If we hypothesize that spirals are axisymmetric oblate bodies, then it follows that the distribution of true axial ratios is sharply peaked around b/a 0.2. S0: b /a widely distributed from 0.25 to 0.85.

Central surface brightnesses of disk galaxies

K. Freeman (1970) noted that the central surface brightnesses of disk galaxies clustered around µ0 (B ) = 21.65 ( = 0.30!). (Often called Freeman's law)

"Freeman's law" was critically discussed, for example with regard to its possible dependence on selection effects. True distribution: flat space density of galaxies as a function of µ0 (B ) from the Freeman value (21.65) to the survey limit of 25.

The stability condition combined with luminosity constraint (L 10L ) determines a domain with an upper limit given approximately by the line I0 h-1 on the µ0 ­h plane (dashed line in the figure).

The dashed lines show the constant star-formation threshold predictions.

Interpretation of the µ0 ­h plane in the framework of the CDM hierarchical scenario of galaxy formation (e.g. Mo, Mao, White 1998). According to this scenario, non-baryonic dark halos form from primordial density fluctuations at the first stage. At the next stage, gas cools and condenses in the halos to form the disks of the galaxies. Main assumptions of the model: (1) the mass of the disk (Md ) is some fixed fraction of that of the halo (M) in which it is embedded ­ Md =md M; (2) the angular momentum of the disk (Jd ) is also a fixed fraction of that of its halo ­ Jd =jd J; (3) the disk is a thin centrifugally suppor ted structure with an exponential surface density profile ­ (r ) = 0 e-r /h ; (4) the disks of real galaxies are stable.

Stellar disks of real galaxies on the µ0 (I )­h plane. According to the model, the disk proper ties are fully determined by the values of , md , jd , Vc and H (z ). Other cosmological parameters, such as z , 0 , , affect disks only indirectly through H (z ). Since H (z ) increases with z , disks of given circular velocity are less massive, are smaller and have higher surface densities at higher redshifts. At a given z , they are larger and less compact in haloes with larger .
The quadrangle shows the ±2 box of the mean parameters of 1000 spirals from Byun (1992). The line segments of different thicknesses show disks loci implied by Mo et al. (1998) model ( = 0.05, md =jd =0.05) with different formation redshifts ­ 0.05, 1, 3.

The Hubble constant (in units of its present value) as a function of z for flat and open models.

The model explains satisfactorily the position and scatter of observed disks. The data of normal spirals are consistent with formation redshift zf 1, LSB ­ zf < 1. The model predicts evolution of the µ0 and galaxy sizes with z .

Ver tical structure of disks

Spiral galaxies
Ver tical structure of disks

Disks are puffed up by ver tical motions of stars. Observations of edge-on disks (and MW stars) show the luminosity density can be approximated by exponential (hz ­ scale height) or sech2 (z /z0 ) laws (z0 = 2hz at z >> z0 ). Scale height found to be constant with radius (?). Scale height varies strongly with stellar type: z0 100 pc for young stars, z0 400 pc for older stars. In addition to the main disk, there is evidence for a thick disk in some galaxies (including our own) with z0 1 kpc. Typical values of normalized thickness: h/z0 4 - 5. h/z0 depends on morphological type, absolute luminosity, color, HI content: stellar disks of late-type, blue, HI-rich and faint spirals are, on average, more thin.

Lopsidedness and warps

There is an evidence of moderate (1.5­ 2 times) thickening of galactic disks in interacting systems: the h/z0 ratio is smaller than in isolated galaxies. This corresponds quite well to the predictions of N-body simulations ­ galaxy interactions and minor mergers lead to ver tical heating of stellar disks (e.g. Quinn et al. 1993).

The light distribution in the disks of many galaxies is non-axisymmetric or "lopsided" with a spatial extent much larger along one half of a galaxy than the other. Near-IR observations show that lopsidedness is common. The stellar disks in nearly 30% of galaxies have significant lopsidedness of >10% measured as the Fourier amplitude of the m = 1 component normalized to the average value. The origin of lopsidedness could be due to the disk response to a tidally distor ted halo, or via gas accretion.

Lopsidedness and warps

Bulges of spiral galaxies

Many edge-on disk galaxies show integral-sign warps, where the majority of the disk is planar but where the outer region of the disk lies above the plane on one side of the galaxy and below the plane on the other. Most extended HI disks appear warped and at least half of all disk galaxies have optical warps. Origin of warps is still not fully understood. There is a strong positive correlation of observed warps frequency with environment, suggesting that tidal interactions and external accretion have a large influence in creating or re-enforcing warped deformations.

Surface brightness distribution: de Vaucouleurs or Sersic r 1/n laws. Standard approach: bulges closely resemble elliptical galaxies. They are similar to them in terms of morphology, luminosity distribution, kinematics and stellar content.

Classical bulges n 2, dynamically hot, relatively featureless, red colors, same or similar fundamental plane relations as for ellipticals, appear similar to E-type galaxies. Possible origin: hierarchical clustering via minor or major mergers.

Pseudobulges n 2, kinematics dominated by rotation, flattening similar to that of their outer disk, nuclear bar, ring and/or nuclear spiral. Possible origin: secular evolution ­ long-term dynamical evolution (bar formation, ver tical and radial transpor t, disk heating, new star formation, bar destruction?).

The Tully­Fisher relation

Spiral galaxies
The Tully­Fisher relation

Using HI observations of spiral galaxies, in 1977 R. Brent Tully and J. Richard Fisher found that the maximum rotation velocity of spirals is closely related with their luminosity, following the relation
L Vmax ,

The slope of the TF relation depends on the wavelength: the value of increases with .
Sakai et al. (2000) presented the calibration of the TF relation based on Cepheid distances to 21 galaxies within 25 Mpc and 23 clusters within 10 000 km/s. Results: intrinsic dispersion 0.m 2, slopes ­ (B ) = 3.2, (V ) = 3.5, (R ) = 3.5, (I ) = 3.7, (H ) = 4.4.

where the slope of the TF relation is about 3 - 4. Because of this close correlation, the luminosity of spirals can be estimated quite precisely by measuring the rotational velocity. By comparing the luminosity, as determined from the TF relation, with the measured flux one can estimate the distance ­ without the Hubble relation!

Explaining the Tully-Fisher relation
The TFR is a combination of at least two independent relations: (1) a relation between the amount of luminous matter Mlum and the circular velocity Vc , (2) a relation between the luminosity and Mlum . For a galaxy in equilibrium GM V2 = , R where V is representative velocity (e.g. maximum rotation velocity), M is the total mass of a galaxy, R is the characteristic radius (e.g. optical radius), G is the gravitational constant, and is a structural parameter depending on the shape of the mass distribution. The total mass can be expressed as M=Mlum +Mdark . Let introduce the dark matter fraction parameter = Mdark /Mlum and the surface density parameter = Mlum /R 2 . Then Mlum = V 4 [ (1 + )2 G2 ]-1 or L=V

where L is the total luminosity. Therefore, if Mlum /L=const, Mdark /Mlum =const, and =const (Freeman's law), we obtain L V 4 .
