Descripción
We present the pitch angles of several galaxies that have been
artificially redshifted using Barden et al’s FERENGI software. The
(central black hole mass)-(spiral arm pitch angle) relation has been
used on a statistically complete sample of local galaxies to determine
the black hole mass function of local spiral galaxies. We now measure
the pitch angles at increasing redshifts by operating on the images
pixel-by-pixel. The results will be compared to the pitch angle function
as measured in the GOODS field. This research was funded in part by NASA
/ EPScOR.
