Super Multi-Armed and Segmented Spiral Pattern in a Reaction-Diffusion Model

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
The super multi-armed and segmented (SMAS) spiral pattern has been observed in nature, such as sunflower inflorescence, spiral aloe, pine cone, ball cactus and Roman broccoli, which is characterized by several segmented spiral arms sharing the same ...

Spiral-arm instability: giant clump formation via fragmentation of a galactic spiral arm [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017
Fragmentation of a spiral arm is thought to drive the formation of giant clumps in galaxies. Using linear perturbation analysis for self-gravitating spiral arms, we derive an instability parameter and define the conditions for clump formation. We extend our analysis to multi-component systems that consist of gas and stars in an external potential.

Analysis of Archimedean Spiral Slot Antennas in Infinite Ground Planes Using the Theory of Characteristic Modes

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
The analysis of Archimedean spiral slots using the theory of characteristic modes is presented in this article. Purely magnetic characteristic modes are used to study the behavior of a spiral slot etched in an infinite ground plane.

Stellar Motion around Spiral Arms: Gaia Mock Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We compare the stellar motion around a spiral arm created in two different scenarios, transient/co-rotating spiral arms and density-wave-like spiral arms.

Dawes Review 4: Spiral Structures in Disc Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The majority of astrophysics involves the study of spiral galaxies, and stars and planets within them, but how spiral arms in galaxies form and evolve is still a fundamental problem. Major progress in this field was made primarily in the 1960s, and early

Clues to the formation of spiral structure in M51 from the ages and locations of star clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We determine the spatial distributions of star clusters at different ages in the grand-design spiral galaxy M51 using a new catalog based on multi-band images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). These distributions, when compared with the spiral

Theoretical Model of Spiral Rain Clusters and Analysis of Their Horizontal Structure Equation

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2017
Rain clusters are mesoscale disaster weather systems, and some of rain clusters have spiral structures. In this paper, a theoretical model of spiral rain cluster is established under pseudo-adiabatic approximation, and its horizontal structure equation ...

Star formation rates and the kinematics of gas in the spiral arms of NGC 628

open access: yes, 2015
Relations between star formation rates along the spiral arms and the velocities of gas inflow into the arms in grand-design galaxy NGC 628 were studied.
