Two recent observational surveys of the Ca II resonance lines (Zarro and Rodgers 1983; Linsky et al. 1979) illustrate the great diversity of line profile shapes found in the spectra of cool stars. This diversity reflects a corresponding wide range in the underlying chromospheric properties of the stars. There are, however, three well-marked systematic trends in the shapes of Ca II line profiles which presumably reflect systematic trends in chromospheric properties. One of these, the Wilson-Bappu effect (Wilson and Bappu 1957), describes the strong correlation betweeen the width of the emission core (see Figure 1) and the absolute visual magnitude of the star. Despite much work, it is still not clear whether this is due primarily to systematic changes of velocity fields (e.g. Hoyle and Wilson 1958) or optical depths (e.g. Jefferies and Thomas 1959) in stellar chromospheres.

ABSTRACT Within rotation curves (RCs) is encoded the kinematical state of the stellar disc as well as information about the dynamical mechanisms driving the secular evolution of galaxies. To explain the characteristic features of RCs which arise by the influence of spiral patterns and bar, we study the kinematics of the stellar disc in a set of spiral galaxy models specifically tailored for this purpose. We find that, for our models, the induced non-circular motions are more prominent for spirals with larger pitch angle, the ones typical in late-type galaxies. Moreover, inside corotation, stars rotate slower along the spiral arms than along the interarm, which translates into a local minima or maxima in the RC, respectively. We also see, from off-plane RC, that the rotation is faster for stars that at observed closer to the plane, and diminishes as one looks farther off plane; this trend is more noticeable in our Sa galaxy model than our Sc galaxy model. Additionally, in a previous work we found that the diagonal ridges in the Vϕ–R plane, revealed through the GaiaDR2, have a resonant origin due to the spiral arms and bar and that these ridges project themselves as wiggles in the RC; here, we further notice that the development of these ridges, and the development of high orbital eccentricities in the stellar disc are the same. Hence, we conclude that, the following explanations of bumps and wiggles in RCs are equivalent: they are manifestations of diagonal ridges in the Vϕ–R plane, or of the rearrangement of the orbital eccentricities in the stellar disc.

We have performed a kinematical and dynamical analysis of the ionized gas content of the late–type spiral NGC 5457 (M101) by means of scanning Fabry–Perot interferometry. the purpose of this study is to gain insight into the dark matter content in this galaxy. A sample of 263 HII regions were catalogued. We calculated radial velocity and velocity dispersions. From the dynamics of the ionized gas we were able to infer a mass of 9.8 × 1010 M⊙ inside a radius of 4'8 (or 10 kpc).
