Accurate Decomposition of Galaxies with Spiral Arms: Dust Properties and Distribution [PDF]
GalaxiesWe analyze three nearby spiral galaxies—NGC 1097, NGC 1566, and NGC 3627—using images from the DustPedia database in seven infrared bands (3.6, 8, 24, 70, 100, 160, and 250 μm).

Impact of Calcium and Potassium Currents on Spiral Wave Dynamics in the LR1 Model [PDF]
EntropySpiral wave dynamics in cardiac tissue are critically implicated in the pathogenesis of arrhythmias. This study investigates the effects of modulating calcium and potassium currents on spiral wave stability in a two-dimensional cardiac model.

Revisiting Galactic Disk and Spiral Arms Using Open Clusters
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We use the largest catalog of open clusters in the post-Gaia era to provide an observational view of the Galactic disk. By compiling physical parameters such as age, distance, and kinematic information, we investigate the spatial distribution of open ...

A Comparison of the Simulations and Observations for a Nearby Spiral Arm
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 The analysis is focused on the ability of galactic open clusters to trace the spiral arms, based on the recent data releases from Gaia. For this, a simple 1D description of the motion of spiral arms and clusters is introduced.

The Spiral Structure in the Solar Neighborhood
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 The spiral structure in the solar neighborhood is an important issue in astronomy. In the past few years, there has been significant progress in observation. The distances for a large number of good spiral tracers, i.e., giant molecular clouds, high-mass

The Identification of a Dusty Multiarm Spiral Galaxy at z = 3.06 with JWST and ALMA
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 Spiral arms serve crucial purposes in star formation and galaxy evolution. In this paper, we report the identification of “A2744-DSG- z 3,” a dusty, multiarm spiral galaxy at z = 3.059 using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRISS imaging and grism ...

An Updated View of the Milky Way from Maser Astrometry
Universe, 2022 Astrometric observations of maser sources in the Milky Way, using the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technique, have been exploited to determine the spiral structure of our Galaxy. Several major spiral arms have now been pinpointed in the first

Mass extinction and the structure of the milky way [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2013 We use the most up-to-date Milky Way model and solar orbit data in order to test the hypothesis that the Sun's galactic spiral arm crossings cause mass extinction events on Earth. To do this, we created a new model of the Milky Way's spiral arms

Kinematics of the Local Spiral Structure Revealed by Young Stars in Gaia DR3
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 Using young open clusters and O–B2-type stars in Gaia Data Release 3, we investigate the kinematics of the local spiral structure. In general, the young sources in the outer spiral arms may present larger peculiar motions than those in the inner spiral ...

The dynamics of long-lived spiral arms
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 It has been believed that spiral arms in pure stellar disks decay in several galactic rotations due to the heating by the spiral arms. However, it might be caused by a numerical heating.
