| Abstract: |
We measured the pitch angles of more than 100 spiral galaxies with redshifts less than 1.2 in the GOODS North and South fields. We compared the pitch angles to those of a complete sample of local galaxies. Spiral arm pitch angles seem to have increased (that is, spirals have loosened) since z = 0.5. Selection and measurement biases make more distant statistics untrustworthy. |
