Giant Cyclones in Gaseous Discs of Spiral Galaxies
We report detection of giant cyclonic vortices in the gaseous disc of the
spiral galaxy NGC 3631 in the reference frame rotating with the spiral pattern.
A presence of such structures was predicted by the authors for galaxies, where
the radial gradient of the perturbed velocity exceeds that of the rotational
velocity. This situation really takes place in NGC 3631.Comment: 13 pages, 4 EPS and 3 PS figure
New Structures in Galactic Disks: Predictions and Discoveries
Original paper can be found at http://www.astrosociety.org/pubs/cs/222-252.html--Copyright Astronomical Society of the Pacific --Our main goal is to review: 1) some physical mechanisms which form the observed structures in galactic disks; 2) the discovery of new galactic structures predicted earlier. Specifically in the first part of the paper we discuss some questions associated with spiral structure. The second part is devoted to the prediction and discovery of giant vortices in gaseous disks of the grand design spiral galaxies using method of reconstruction of the full three-component velocity field from the observed line-of-sight velocity field. In the third part, we give some arguments in favour of existence of the slow bars in the grand design spiral galaxies

Spectroscopic Redshift Measurements for Galaxy Clusters Detected in the Planck All-Sky Survey
© 2020, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. Abstract: We present the results of spectroscopic redshift measurements for galaxy clusters from the catalogue compiled previously from Planck all-sky survey data in combination with Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and WISE data in the optical and infrared ranges. Most of these clusters are massive objects that will also be detected in future all-sky surveys, such as the eROSITA all-sky X-ray survey onboard the Spectrum–Roentgen–Gamma (SRG) space observatory. The spectroscopic observations of these galaxy clusters have been carried out with the 1.5-m Russian–Turkish telescope (RTT150), the 1.6-m Sayan Observatory AZT-33IK telescope, and the 6-m SAO RAS telescope (Bolshoi Teleskop Azimutalnyi, BTA). The spectroscopic redshift measurements have been obtained for 67 galaxy clusters, including 12 galaxy clusters from the second Planck catalogue of Sunyaev–Zeldovich sources
Optical Identifications of High-Redshift Galaxy Clusters from the Planck Sunyaev–Zeldovich Survey
International audienceWe present the results of optical identifications and spectroscopic redshift measurements for galaxy clusters from the second Planck catalogue of Sunyaev–Zeldovich sources (PSZ2) located at high redshifts, z ≈ 0.7−0.9. We used the data of optical observations with the Russian–Turkish 1.5-mtelescope (RTT-150), the Sayan Observatory 1.6-m telescope, the Calar Alto 3.5-m telescope, and the 6-m SAO RAS telescope (BTA). The spectroscopic redshift measurements were obtained for seven galaxy clusters, including one cluster, PSZ2 G126.57+51.61, from the cosmological sample of the PSZ2 catalogue. In the central regions of two clusters, PSZ2 G069.39+68.05 and PSZ2 G087.39−34.58, we detected arcs of strong gravitational lensing of background galaxies, one of which is at redshift z = 4.262. The data presented below roughly double the number of known galaxy clusters in the second Planck catalogue of Sunyaev–Zeldovich sources at high redshifts, z ≈ 0.8
