Evidence in favour of density wave theory through star formation history maps and spatially resolved stellar clusters
Shameer Abdeen, Daniel Kennefick, Julia Kennefick +7
Stationary Density Wave Theory predicts the existence of an age gradient across the spiral arms with a phase crossing at the co-rotation radius. Using star formation history (SFH)…

Determining the Co-Rotation Radii of Spiral Galaxies Using Spiral Arm Pitch Angle Measurements at Multiple Wavelengths
Shameer Abdeen, Daniel Kennefick, Julia Kennefick +4
The spiral arms spanning disk galaxies are believed to be created by density waves that propagate through galactic disks. We present a novel method of finding the co-rotation radiu…
