The Rotation of Spiral Galaxies
Science, 1983There is accumulating evidence that as much as 90 percent of the mass of the universe is nonluminous and is clumped, halo-like, around individual galaxies. The gravitational force of this dark matter is presumed to be responsible for the high rotational velocities of stars and gas in the disks of spiral galaxies.

The dynamics of spiral galaxies is a gold-mine of challenging problems for the astrophysicist and the applied mathematician. In Astrophysics, we may ask how these island-universes formed, evolved, and reached their current structure and thus address the problems of the dynamics of the interstellar medium, of star formation, of stellar dynamics, and of ...

AbstractThe venerable problem of what causes the spiral features in disk galaxies is nearing a solution. In previous work, we have shown that transient spirals in simulations result from the superposition of a few coherent waves that have many properties of modes.

The HI Halo of Spiral Galaxies
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2004A deep H I survey with the VLA of the spiral galaxy NGC 2403 has revealed the existence of a thick, low density layer of neutral gas surrounding the thin 'cold' disk. This layer has a mean rotation velocity 25-50 km s(-1) lower than that of the disk and a 10-20 km s(-1) inflow towards the centre of the galaxy.

Nature, 1988
The concept of the turbulent dynamo in interstellar gas combined with the discovery of global magnetic structures in spiral galaxies has led to a consistent picture of galactic magnetism. Large-scale magnetic fields are generated and maintained by helical turbulent motions of interstellar gas and by differential galactic rotation.

Comparison of the Galaxy with External Spiral Galaxies
1987In this chapter some areas of comparative exploration in our and external galaxies are reviewed and discussed. Photometric parameters for the Galaxy are derived. The radial scalelength is 5.0 ± 0.5 kpc, and this makes our Galaxy (and M31) unusually large unless Ho = 65 ± 10 km s−1 Mpc−1. Surface photometry of external edge-on galaxies, in particular of

Phenomenology of Spiral Galaxies
1975Galaxies have probably been formed from fluctuations in density and motion in the universe. Many cosmologists have suggested that the separation into individual units took place around the time of decoupling of matter and radiation, when the radius of the universe was about 1/1000th of the present radius.
