Examination of the Functional Form of the Light and Mass Distribution in Spiral Arms

open access: yesGalaxies
Spiral 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 ...

The spiral arms of galaxies

open access: yes, 2022
The most important theory of the spiral arms of galaxies is the density wave theory based on the Lin-Shu dispersion relation. However, the density waves move with the group velocity towards the inner Lindblad resonance and tend to disappear. Various mechanisms to replenish the spiral waves have been proposed.

Spirality: A Novel Way to Measure Spiral Arm Pitch Angle

open access: yes, 2016
We present the MATLAB code Spirality, a novel method for measuring spiral arm pitch angles by fitting galaxy images to spiral templates of known pitch. Computation time is typically on the order of 2 minutes per galaxy, assuming at least 8 GB of working ...
