We characterize the dust in NGC 628 and NGC 6946, two nearby spiral galaxies in the KINGFISH sample. With data from 3.6 ЮМm to 500 ЮМm, dust models are strongly constrained. ... The dust models successfully reproduce the observed global and resolved spectral energy distributions (SEDs). The overall dust/H mass ratio is estimated to be 0.0082 ТБ 0.0017 for NGC 628, and 0.0063 ТБ 0.0009 for NGC 6946, consistent with what is expected for galaxies of near-solar metallicity. ...

... Abstract: We present an extensive study of the radiative transfer in dusty galaxies based on Monte Carlo simulations. ... We have explored the dependence of A_l on a conspicuous set of quantities (Hubble type, inclination, dust optical thickness, dust distribution and extinction properties) for a large wavelength interval, ranging from 1250A to the K band, thus finally providing a comprehensive atlas of dust extinction in galaxies, which is electronically available. ...

... According to the most popular cosmological paradigm, the greater part of the galaxy mass is accumulated in the dark matter halo. ... The polar ring galaxies (PRGs) reveal external rings or disks of gas, dust and stars rotating in a plane roughly perpendicular to the disk of the central galaxy. ... The shape of the dark halo in the model was chosen so as to achieve the best fit to the observed rotation of both galaxies themselves and their polar rings. ... The SPRC-7 galaxy. ...

HI spectral-line observations of galaxies (Karen O'Neil) . Measuring the width, flux, etc. of the HI profile of two galaxies, using some combination of : dwarf emission line, HVC emission line, spiral emission line, and spiral absorption line. This project was designed to demonstrate the fundamentals of spectral line observing and position switching. ... The types of galaxies observed in this project are being kept open and will be determined when the project LST is known. ...

Decomposition of Galaxy Images and Galaxy Rotation Curves Mosenkov A.V.*^, Savchenko S.S.*, Sotnikova N.Ya.* ... The DECA (DEComposition Analysis) code is designed to investigate images of galaxies in an automatic regime (using the simple 'bulge+disc' model) as well as in manual mode for more detailed images and/or for multicomponent structures. ... The GRCF package was created for performing the galaxies rotation curve decomposition using the models of the bulge, the disc, and the dark halo. ...

... Cross-shaped galaxy ZGC 2315+03 (Fig.1) has been described by Zwicky (1971) as ``post-eruptive or the result of the crossing of a compact galaxy through an edge-on spiral'' . This object was included in the Polar-Ring Catalog (C-71) by Whitmore et al. (1990) as a possible candidate for Polar-Ring Galaxies (PRG). ... One of them is galaxy 'disk' and the other is 'polar-ring'. ... The facts against the polar-ring nature of ZGC 2315+03 can be summarized as follows: . ...

... ROTATION CURVE: When studying spiral galaxies it is invariably found that the stellar rotational velocity in the disk remains constant, or "flat", with increasing distance away from the galactic center. ... The rotation speed of the stars in galaxies is found NOT to decrease with increasing distance from the galactic center (see emission lines in the spectrum), implying that the overall mass distribution of the galaxy is different from the light distribution. ...
