Swing Amplification of Galactic Spiral Arms: Phase Synchronization of Stellar Epicycle Motion
Shugo Michikoshi, Eiichiro Kokubo
We revisit the swing amplification model of galactic spiral arms proposed by Toomre (1981). We describe the derivation of the perturbation equation in detail and investigate the am…

Galactic Spiral Arms by Swing Amplification
Shugo Michikoshi, Eiichiro Kokubo
Based on the swing amplification model of Julian and Toomre (1966), we investigate the formation and structure of stellar spirals in disk galaxies. We calculate the pitch angle, wa…
