Stellar dynamics around transient co-rotating spiral arms
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 Spiral density wave theory attempts to describe the spiral pattern in spiral galaxies in terms of a long-lived wave structure with a constant pattern speed in order to avoid the winding dilemma.

Can the Dynamo of Spiral-arm Galaxies Be Explained by Anisotropic Conductivity?
The Astrophysical JournalThe possibility of generating a magnetic field by a dynamo effect with anisotropic electrical conductivity rather than turbulent flow has been demonstrated theoretically and experimentally.

Triple Spiral Arms of a Triple Protostar System Imaged in Molecular Lines
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Most stars form in multiple-star systems. For a better understanding of their formation processes, it is important to resolve the individual protostellar components and the surrounding envelope and disk material at the earliest possible formation epoch ...

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

, 2011 The origin and types of spiral arms are reviewed with an emphasis on the connections between these arms and star formation. Flocculent spiral arms are most likely the result of transient instabilities in the gas that promote dense cloud formation, star ...

Examination of the Functional Form of the Light and Mass Distribution in Spiral Arms
GalaxiesSpiral arms are a common feature of local galaxies, but the exact form of the distribution of mass and light in them is not well known. In this work, we aim to measure this distribution as accurately as possible, focusing on individual spiral arms and ...

Stellar spiral arms in smooth-armed galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 1986 Deep multicolor surface photometry has been obtained for three extreme examples of smooth-armed spirals, galaxies with a global spiral pattern but with little or no interstellar gas, dust, or recent star formation: NGC 7743, NGC 495 and NGC 718. The results suggest that smooth-armed spirals may be transient bar-driven density waves (with a lifetime of ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Azobenzene photoswitches translate molecular‐scale E/Z photoisomerization into macroscopic material responses and device‐level photonic functions. This Review highlights how azobenzene research has evolved from molecular photochemistry to photoalignment, mass migration, photomechanics, and heat release, ultimately enabling holography, reconfigurable ...
