Kinematics of MUSCEL Galaxies
Abstract
We have begun the MUSCEL (MUltiwavelength observations of the Structure, Chemistry and Evolution of LSB galaxies) program to explore the formation and evolution of low surface brightness galaxies. Using ground and space-based photometric and spectroscopic data, we are studying the spatially-resolved kinematics and star formation histories of our targets to determine why they have followed a different evolutionary path than their high surface brightness counterparts. Here we present kinematic data and modeling for a subset of our targets.
