Gas and stellar spiral arms and their offsets in the grand-design spiral galaxy M51
Fumi Egusa, Erin Mentuch Cooper, Jin Koda +1
Theoretical studies on the response of interstellar gas to a gravitational potential disc with a quasi-stationary spiral arm pattern suggest that the gas experiences a sudden compr…
Eventful Evolution of Giant Molecular Clouds in Dynamically Evolving Spiral Arms
Junichi Baba, Kana Morokuma-Matsui, Takayuki R. Saitoh
The formation and evolution of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in spiral galaxies have been investigated in the traditional framework of the combined quasi-stationary density wave an…
Gas velocity patterns in simulated galaxies: Observational diagnostics of spiral structure theories
Junichi Baba, Kana Morokuma-Matsui, Yusuke Miyamoto +2
There are two theories of stellar spiral arms in isolated disc galaxies that model stellar spiral arms with different longevities: quasi-stationary density wave theory, which chara…
