Formation and Fragmentation of Gaseous Spurs in Spiral Galaxies
Woong-Tae Kim, Eve C. Ostriker
Intermediate-scale spurs are common in spiral galaxies, but perhaps most distinctively evident in a recent HST image of M51 (Scoville & Rector 2001). We investigate, using time-dep…

Amplification, Saturation, and Q Thresholds for Runaway: Growth of Self-Gravitating Structures in Models of Magnetized Galactic Gas Disks
Woong-Tae Kim, Eve C. Ostriker
We investigate the susceptibility of gaseous, magnetized galactic disks to formation of self-gravitating condensations using two-dimensional, local models. We focus on two issues:…
