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.

Can the Dynamo of Spiral-arm Galaxies Be Explained by Anisotropic Conductivity?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The possibility of generating a magnetic field by a dynamo effect with anisotropic electrical conductivity rather than turbulent flow has been demonstrated theoretically and experimentally.

The Quest for a Stable Disk

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The majority of disk galaxies manifest spirals and/or bars that are believed to result from dynamical instabilities. However, some galaxies have featureless disks, which are therefore inferred to be dynamically stable.

Structure of the Spiral Galaxy NGC 300 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1992
In 1963, Toomre built up classes of mass models for the highly flattened galaxies which have free parameters n, an and Cn. In order to keep the universal dimension, we adopt parameters bn(Cn2 = an2n+2*bn2/(n-1)!) instead of Cn.

Causal Discovery in Astrophysics: Unraveling Supermassive Black Hole and Galaxy Coevolution

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Correlation does not imply causation, but patterns of statistical association between variables can be exploited to infer a causal structure (even with purely observational data) with the burgeoning field of causal discovery.
