At Leiden we are obtaining coordinated radio, optical and infrared observations of the Andromeda galaxy, M31. Its proximity offers us a unique opportunity to study both the large-scale and small-scale structure of a galaxy which is similar in many respects to the Milky Way. The WSRT has been used to obtain high-resolution (24″ × 36″) maps of M31 in the HI line and 21-and 49-cm radio-continuum emission. Recently the radio data have been complemented with optical surface photometry in UBVR and Hα, using the Burrell Schmidt telescope at Kitt Peak and the Palomar Schmidt. Results from the HI and IRAS infrared observations are presented elsewhere. Here we present some preliminary results from the radio-continuum and optical surveys.

AbstractPrevious optical surface photometry of barred spiral galaxies revealed that there are two distinct types of bars: large bars tend to have a nearly constant surface brightness (”flat“ bar), while smaller bars tend to have a decreasing surface brightness with a scale length similar to the disk (”exponential“ bar). Statistically, flat bars tend to occur in early Hubble types and exponential bars in later types. Studies of resonances in spirals indicate that flat bars end inside corotation, while exponential bars end between the inner Lindblad and 4:1 resonances. Near-infrared (JHK) surface photometry of bars is presented in order to compare the stellar distributions and bar potentials in flat and exponential barred galaxies. The presence of isophotal twists in some galaxies provides additional information on resonances. The grand design and fiocculent optical structures in the two types of barred galaxies will be compared and contrasted with their near-infrared light distributions.
