Scientific paper

In connection with the existence of spiral galaxies having anomalously low surface brightness disks, the question arises concerning the reasons for this phenomenon, taking into account the fact that these spirals have total luminosities comparable to the majority of 'normal' galaxies. By studying these 'anomalous' galaxies, it is hoped to learn more about the general process of galaxy evolution. A limited number of representative low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies has been selected for study by various techniques. The present investigation is concerned with the results of an extensive program conducted to obtain photographic surface photometry, optical and infrared aperture photometry, and spectroscopic observations of selected H II regions for a significant sample of LSB spiral galaxies.
