Chemical dissection of merger-induced lopsidedness in Milky Way-like galaxies

Soumavo Ghosh, Paola Di Matteo, Chanda J. Jog +1

The Milky Way harbours a prominent m=1 lopsided distortion in both stellar and neutral gas distributions. On the other hand, chemo-dynamical studies have been proven to be effectiv…

Vertical Structure and Dynamics of a Galactic Disk

Chanda J. Jog

Most of the visible mass in a typical spiral galaxy is distributed in a thin disk, with a radial extent much larger than its thickness. While the planar disk structure, including n…

Observational evidence for local vertical constraining of \HI by molecular cloud complexes

Meera Nandakumar, Nirupam Roy, Chanda J. Jog +1

A massive molecular cloud complex represents local gravitational potential that can constrain the vertical distribution of surrounding stars and gas. This pinching effect results i…

Gravitational potential energy of a multi-component galactic disk

Suchira Sarkar, Chanda J. Jog

We calculate ab initio the gravitational potential energy per unit area for a gravitationally coupled multi-component galactic disk of stars and gas, which is given as the integrat…

Dynamical interplay of disc thickness and the interstellar gas: implication for the longevity of spiral density waves

Soumavo Ghosh, Chanda J. Jog

A typical galactic disc has a finite thickness and in addition to stars it also contains a finite amount of interstellar gas. Here, we investigate the physical impact of the finite…

Genesis of morpho-kinematic lopsidedness in minor merger of galaxies

Soumavo Ghosh, Kanak Saha, Chanda J. Jog +2

An lopsided asymmetry is common in disc galaxies. Here, we investigate the excitation of an lopsidedness in host galaxies during minor mergers while choosing a set of 1…
