Investigating the Origins of Spiral Structure in Disk Galaxies through a Multiwavelength Study
Ryan Miller, Daniel Kennefick, Julia Kennefick +5
The density-wave theory of spiral structure proposes that star formation occurs in or near a spiral-shaped region of higher density that rotates rigidly within the galactic disk at…

Strong Evidence for the Density-wave Theory of Spiral Structure in Disk Galaxies
Hamed Pour-Imani, Daniel Kennefick, Julia Kennefick +3
The density-wave theory of galactic spiral-arm structure makes a striking prediction that the pitch angle of spiral arms should vary with the wavelength of the galaxy's image. The…
